Access control for a new Paris media headquarters uses a suite of connected ASSA ABLOY devices

London, April 2023 – For new headquarters in a Paris suburb, media giant Canal+ specified a connected smart building to enable efficient, flexible working. Choosing the right connectable access technologies can be a time-consuming task, all too often requiring compromises in the name of compatibility.

 “Fast-growing demand for integrated building systems makes it critical for hardware suppliers to offer a range of compatible access solutions,” says Thomas Schulz, Product Marketing Director at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.

“ASSA ABLOY’s broad competence and a vast range of connectable access control solutions enables us to match devices to many applications, at almost any opening and in all areas of a building.”

The new access control solution for the Canal+ building filters access to and through all technical areas, for 1,200 employees plus visitors and contractors. No-compromise protection is required for multiple types of door, both internal openings and external or emergency exits.

Canal+ prioritized access control devices which offer high performance in both security and sustainability criteria. Particular care was taken to green interior and exterior spaces — as well as to indoor air quality and exposure to natural light — in order to reduce the building’s energy consumption.

“As soon as we discuss access systems, all service providers tell me about ASSA ABLOY products,” says Abdeljelil Saidi, Director of Safety and Security at Vivendi/Canal+ Group.

Seamless integration with Genetec Synergis

All ASSA ABLOY devices installed at Canal+ integrate seamlessly with their Genetec platform. This integration gives employees the flexibility and convenience of carrying one multi-site credential. From an integrated Genetec control panel, administrators can issue, amend or withdraw access for individual users or rooms.

Aperio and ABLOY locks connect with the smart building system to prevent unauthorized intrusion into sensitive areas.

Choosing the Aperio H100 Wireless Electronic Handle over wired locking devices contributed to improving energy efficiency. Like every Aperio lock, an H100 is fitted without wiring, which saves power during installation. The electronic handle works without mains power, consuming much less energy than a traditional wired door lock.

Canal+ are delighted with performance of their connected Genetec and ASSA ABLOY solution: “We plan to equip new Vivendi Group sites and not just the Canal+ headquarters,” adds M. Saidi.

 The right device for every door, interior and exterior

To secure interior doors, the multi-award winning Aperio H100 Wireless Handle combines security with contemporary aesthetics. Its durable design is perfect for doors with high traffic; the H100 works with online or offline access control systems. A battery slots inside the handle, ensuring a minimal, discreet footprint.

For an even higher level of security at external-facing doors, ABLOY Electromechanical Locks are also fully integrated with the building’s Genetec system. These class-leading door devices offer high mechanical resistance at vulnerable points such as emergency exits.

“Abloy electromechanical locks are robust and efficient,” confirms M. Saidi.

Axis Communications announces world’s first explosion-protected camera designed for Zone/Division 2 hazardous areas

Axis Communications, a leader in network video, announces AXIS P1468-XLE Explosion-Protected Bullet Camera, the world’s first explosion-protected camera specifically designed for Zone and Division 2 hazardous locations. The camera is designed for Zone 2, 22 and Class I/II/III Division 2 according to international standards (ATEX, IECEx, NEC).

AXIS P1468-XLE uses the ‘Ex e’ protection method, an explosion-protection approach referred to as ‘increased safety’ or ‘non-incendive’. This method ensures that no arcs and sparks can appear, and that excessive temperatures cannot be reached, during normal operation of electrical equipment. As a result, electrical equipment using ‘Ex e’ protection cannot ignite gas or dust in the surrounding potentially combustible environment.

AXIS P1468-XLE is a robust, impact- and weather-resistant fixed camera which delivers excellent image quality in 4K resolution under any light conditions, through Lightfinder 2.0, Forensic WDR, and OptimizedIR. Compact and lightweight in design, the camera is as easy to install as a standard camera.

AXIS P1468-XLE has been designed in line with North American and European directives for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. By design, the camera is unable to provide sufficient energy to ignite gas or dust in the atmosphere to cause an explosion, therefore removing the need for any traditional explosion-protected enclosure.

The multitasking camera provides many benefits within health and safety applications and operational efficiency. Early detection of smoke and fire, ensuring that personal protective equipment (PPE) is being worn and used, and monitoring restricted areas bring significant health and safety benefits to organizations. In operational efficiency, the camera can be used for visual verification of various processes and as part of an advanced data-driven sensory network.

Integrated deep learning for advanced analytics

Built on ARTPEC-8, AXIS P1468-XLE includes a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) enabling advanced features and powerful analytics that run on the edge. For instance, by connecting the camera to the process control system and continuously monitoring a process, you can fine-tune the process in real-time to maximize throughput. In addition, it is possible to extract and send metadata for further analysis, which can be used for trend monitoring and predictive maintenance. Built-in cybersecurity features help prevent unauthorized access and safeguard the system.

Specifically designed for Zone/Division 2 hazardous locations

In contrast to Zone/Division 1 hazardous locations – where the presence of an explosive atmosphere is likely and a regular occurrence – in Zone/Division 2 hazardous locations, an explosive atmosphere is far less likely, less frequent, and present for much shorter periods of time. It is still essential however, to eliminate the risk of equipment creating a spark that might create an explosion in these areas.

Explaining why the company has chosen to create a camera specifically designed for Zone/Division 2 hazardous locations, Jesper Olavi, Global Product Manager at Axis, said: “For customers who have wanted to use video surveillance in Zone/Division 2 hazardous locations, the only realistic solution so far has been to use explosion-protected cameras certified for Zone/Division 1 hazardous locations. But these heavy-duty enclosures are over-engineered and unnecessarily expensive for Zone 2/Division 2 hazardous locations. With the launch of AXIS P1468-XLE, customers will have the chance to bring high-quality video surveillance and advanced analytics into locations where they were previously rarely used due to the prohibitive cost.

“AXIS P1468-XLE highlights the benefits of Axis designing and manufacturing our own explosion-protected cameras. In designing every element of the camera, we can ensure the methods employed for explosion protection are based on an individual camera’s requirements, rather that creating a ‘generic’ enclosure designed to fit many cameras. It’s a process that leads to an optimal solution for specific environments and use cases.”

The new firewall from DoorBird: Effective protection for your building network

The new DoorBird A1051 Internet Firewall is now available worldwide. DoorBird is the first in the industry to launch a user-friendly solution that provides additional protection for the network of door communication systems.

The easy-to-install firewall increases security for all networks where DoorBird products are used – both inside and outside. The Berlin-based manufacturer Bird Home Automation GmbH creates another unique selling point in the field of smart IP video communication with the DoorBird A1051 Internet Firewall product. The firewall reliably stops unauthorized network traffic without the need for complicated configurations. The product is pre-configured at the factory and ready for immediate use. The installation takes place between the local Internet router and the DoorBird IP video door communication network – easily and without any prior technical knowledge. The network is protected against unauthorized access at main and side entrances, underground garage entrances, floor accesses` or other rental areas indoors. This makes the Internet firewall suitable for large office complexes, commercial buildings, apartment buildings, and single-family residences. For example, a tenant could misuse the network cable connected to an IP video indoor station to surf the Internet or gain unauthorized access to other network components in the building. Implementing firewall solutions for this purpose with well-known firewall products is expensive, complicated and most of all very time-consuming to implement on a day-to-day basis. Part of ASSA ABLOY 2 In order to meet individual network requirements, smart home systems from third-party providers (e.g. DoorBird Connect partners) can be whitelisted. The Internet Firewall can be configured comfortably remotely via app or browser.

Dallmeier opens subsidiary “Dallmeier Austria”

Kirchberg (Austria), 16 March 2023 – Dallmeier electronic, one of the leading German manufacturers of video technology and “inventor” of the Panomera® multifocal sensor technology, announces the establishment of its own national company in Austria. The newly founded “Dallmeier Austria” will immediately support interested installers and security service providers with sales, pre-sales and support services.

Dallmeier Austira Team

Well-known customers such as the PlusCity shopping centre in Linz, the “Österreichische Landesbanken”, Holzindustrie Papst or Hipp Austria have been relying on video security systems from the Regensburg-based manufacturer Dallmeier for many years. Due to the constantly increasing demand, Dallmeier has now decided to establish its own national subsidiary. In the recently opened branch in Kirchberg an der Raab, customers and partners have all the necessary resources at their disposal for smooth project handling: from pre-sales consulting to technical support, including 24×7 service for contract customers.

Low costs and attractive margins despite “high-wage country technology”
At the heart of many Dallmeier solutions for customers with large areas or long distances are the patented Panomera®
multifocal sensor cameras  with their unique cost-benefit ratio: by combining several video sensors with different focal lengths in one optical unit, Panomera® reduces the number of cameras required many times over compared to conventional solutions.

The Domera® family of cameras, launched last year, also covers almost all “classic” video security applications in companies and organisations of all sizes. Domera® combines quality, intelligent features for fast installation and commissioning, and a modular design. The resulting solutions offer a low total cost of ownership for the end user, while providing attractive revenue opportunities for installers, channel partners and integrators involved.

Integration with systems from Milestone, Genetec or Advancis
Dallmeier offers camera systems, recording, video analysis and software solutions for a wide range of applications. The solutions can be used either as complete Dallmeier solutions or via open interfaces such as ONVIF with a variety of third party-systems. There are also integrations with numerous security and analytics systems as well as with popular VMS and PSIM systems such as Milestone, Genetec or Advancis.

Proximity to manufacturers and a comprehensive range for integrators
Dallmeier Austria serves customers in Austria through a partner programme. Based near Graz, the company offers a complete portfolio of innovative technologies and comprehensive services: For larger projects, partners can use the Dallmeier 3D planning service to precisely define all details of their future system using a “digital twin” before the project begins. During the Factory Acceptance Test, the entire system is put through its paces before being handed over, and Dallmeier Austria also offers the necessary support during operation. The geographical proximity to the parent company in Regensburg also contributes to optimal support and project management.

“With Dallmeier, partners solve a paradox: with products from a high-wage country, they can offer high-quality solutions that are more than competitive. This is due to numerous innovations that save time and money – during installation, operation, and durability,” says Michael Stix, Managing Director of Dallmeier Austria. “With the branch office we offer our partners all the necessary resources and services for optimal customer support and professional project management. We are happy to support partners who are new to us with tailor-made ‘team-up’ services. Dallmeier attaches great importance to channel neutrality. When a partner registers a project with us, they can be sure that we will guarantee them appropriate project protection.”

“With our solutions we offer the highest standard worldwide in terms of hardware quality as well as data protection and cybersecurity. Furthermore, Dallmeier products are always designed to provide the customer with a real problem solution and not just another camera product,” says Christian Linthaler, Sales Director National & International at Dallmeier electronic. “Dallmeier is an established brand for video technology in Austria with solid and dynamic growth. With the establishment of our own national company, we offer our local partners everything they need for a smooth process of pre- and post-sales, planning, consulting, and implementation.”
