security events tions to meet almost all sizes of system requirements from markets worldwide. mutual authentication routines. It can be equipped with one or more SAM modules for secure data encryption. The Crystal keypad is featured with a mobile key application through ISO18092 NFC and Bluetooth technology as well, with more data transmission options such as Ethernet, RS485 OSDP protocol, and wiegand, USB. tinuously, the algorithm self-evolves to cope with such change and results even better accuracy with use over time. Texas-based Crucialtrak launched BACS, which stands for Biometric Access Control System. It is claimed by Crucialtrak to be the world´s first multi-biometric autenthication technology, providing the highest security measures by layering four different biometric authentications in to one termunal. In each BACS module, up to four biometric identifification technologies are considered touchless fingerprint, iris patterns, vein patterns and facial recognition authentication. The user can customise different biometric identification layering options accordingly depending on the level of security required. The highly secured algorithms maximize accuracy and accountability of the identification process. Management systems for incidents and more B Alert IoT Security commander from Alertenterprise is an IoT based security incident management and response platform, built for enterprises. The goal is to leverage employees, contractors and other staff to be the eyes and ears of the organisation and report suspicous or unsafe conditions to security operators. It is the perfect ”See something – say something” companion, according to Alertenterprise. Amika Mobile was another exhibitor, launching the Amika Mobility Server (AMS), an intelligent and secure critical and emergency communication platform for on-premise/cloud or hybrid deployments. AMS auto-discover active directory information and maintaining the pre-defined organisational structures. AMS alerts and receives responses over wire or mobile or any communications layer. Most interesting though was the demonstration of Mission Control on the Genetec stand. From monitoring and detecting through to resolving and reviewing, Mission Control guides the users on how to manage any incident from start to finish. It provides organisations with the data and tools to respond to situations quickly, confidently and intelligently. This so call Decision Support System provides organisations with new levels of situational intelligence, visualisation, and complete incident management capabilities. It allows security personnel to make the right decision when faced with routine tasks or unanticipated situations by ensuring a timely flow of information. Mission Control empowers organisations to move beyond simple event and alarm management by collecting and qualifying data from thousands of sensors and security devices, spotting the most complex situations and incidents, and guiding security teams in their response following organisation-specific processes and compliancy requirements. Theia Technologies displayed their 4k lenses. Theia Technologies demonstrated its award-winning family of compact 4k lenses at ISC West on Hanwha’s new XNB-8000 Wisenet 5 camera as well as on Dallmeier’s DF5400HD-DN 4k camera. Theia’s motorised TL1250 and TL936 lenses were shown at ISC West on Arecont’s Megavideo G5 series cameras. The motorised zoom, focus, and P-iris lenses also feature custom housings. Theia’s family of compact 4k lenses in fully motorised or manual versions continues to be selected and approved by OEM camera companies including Vivotek for use on their IP9181-H camera,and by Dahua for their 4k cameras. Access Control In the field of access control there were several exhibitors at ISC West, showing off their latest products. Different types of biometrics, bluetooth and NFC were all common among these exhibitors. Following the 3.5” OLED touch-screen terminal, to complete their Crystal series, Civintec Global also presented a new RFID Crystal series from and Bluetooth Civintec Global. reader. The new Crystal keypad is equipped with a 2.4” OLED display with a mechanical keypad in a housing for outdoor applications. As it is a 125KHz/13.56MHz RFID reader, the Crystal is able to read CSN or encrypted protected data from 13.56MHz smart cards utilising key diversification and Bio-Sign 2.0 from Suprema. Suprema, Korean developer of biometric access control readers, decided to highlight something different this year, namely the Bio-Sign 2.0, a game-changing mobile fingerprint authentication algorithm, featuring what is hailed as the world’s fastest matching speed. According to the company, its latest artificial intelligence technology, means that the new Bio-Sign 2.0 algorithm yields matching speeds of up to twice as fast as the best competitor’s solution while far outpacing competitors in terms of accuracy(FRR) and level of security(FAR). Moreover, Bio-Sign 2.0 offers enhanced robustness over time and extra flexibility in integration by supporting various types and sizes of sensors. Bio-Sign 2.0 is designed to produce best performance even with low-end application processors(AP), therefore it will take the essential role for low-cost smartphones to adopt fingerprint authentications. Bio-Sign 2.0 performs a matching speed of 50ms with high-end APs and 100ms with low-end APs while maintaining the security level(FAR) under 0.0005%. When it comes to fingerprint authentication in smartphones, due to changes in scanning habits and skin condition, current technology often results in poorer performance with use over time. Powered by a self-learning mechanism on its algorithm, Bio-Sign 2.0 gets smarter with use. Bio-Sign 2.0 learns the user’s habit and conditions con- The world’s largest manufacturer of video surveillance products was of course present as an exhibitor at ISC West Expo. Keen Yao, VP Hikvision International Business Center was satisfied with the response from the visitors. Finn Vu, international marketing manager, also seemed happy with the flow of visitors to the stand. Security News Every Day – www. securityworldhotel.com dete kto r in te r n at i on al • 35
