Security and Government Expo 2020 (pre-register here) is going to be the only opportunity security managers, security consultants, integrators and installers get to check out the latest solutions from 26 of Australia’s leading security manufacturers and suppliers in the one place – the question you need to ask yourselves is what do you want to see?
HIS has been an unusual year but something 2020 has underscored very clearly is that security solutions have a serious role to play in managing everything from site protection, to process control, and much more in between. A quality security solution now has a lateral capacity to protect and manage facilities locally and remotely, and this capability is ever more vital in a less certain and more challenging world.
At SAGE you’ll get the opportunity to check out some of the latest security technologies – not only electronics, like access control and CCTV, but locking, perimeter protection, artificial intelligence, mass communications of safety messages, body cameras, PSIM solutions, key management and lots more. Importantly, many of the solutions at SAGE have COVID management features, including proximity detection, contact tracing and low touch access control. With no chance COVID is going to disappear, security managers need to manage their organisations differently and you can find out how at SAGE.
Gallagher will be showcasing the soon-to-be-released Command Centre v8.40 – SAGE attendees should drop by the Gallagher stand to discover the feature-rich software at the heart of Gallagher’s integrated security solutions and see how v8.40 can give even greater flexibility with Mobile Connect Digital ID. From cardholder management to critical incident response, attendees will see first-hand how Command Centre allows them to manage their sites in their own way and deliver even more power reports.
Flexible configuration functionalities include the ability to set door and entry rules, configure guard tour checkpoints and arrival times, set entry and exit delays for intruder alarms, use schedules to automate access and alarm state changes and deliver centralised site visibility and monitoring ensures situational awareness for all buildings and the perimeter on both local and remote sites.
The system also allows security managers to challenge cardholder identities anywhere, anytime using the Command Centre mobile app, trust in encrypted peer-to-peer communication with access system controllers, check door and zone status in real time, monitor video surveillance, manage cardholder information and set access rights and responses at individual cardholder or group level, and undertake live operation and monitoring of on-site guard tours.
Something else Gallagher will be showing at SAGE are its high security solutions, which the company says are scalable, flexible, and trusted to protect sensitive sites worldwide. With government approved products in the UK, US, CA, NZ and in Australia; Gallagher is the only manufacture of equipment fully endorsed to protect premise from Zone 1 to Zone 5.
For instance, Gallagher PIV solution is an intelligent smart card that contains a certificate and private key which is used for logical and physical access control identity to secure federal government facilities and IT systems. Rather than the typical MIFARE access credential, PIV transfers certificates between the access control system and the card, through the contactless reader for granting or denying entry.
Meanwhile, Gallagher’s Class 5 is a fully encrypted, authenticated, and compliant solution that has been independently certified by an IANZ approved test facility and is capable of protecting high-value assets from physical security threats. And the company will also show products to Type 1A 2008 alarms standard and approved by the Security Construction and Equipment Committee (SCEC). Gallagher’s Type 1A solution manages alarms, monitors sensors, and defends system integrity for the highest security Australian Government sites.
For external applications, Perimeter Systems Australia will be showing the new INTREPID MicroPoint-POE-S Fence Detection Systems at SAGE. These IP-based POE intelligent perimeter intrusion detection solutions are ideal for fence applications with cut-or-climb intrusion risks. MicroPoint-POE-S employs proprietary digital signal processing algorithms to precisely locate intrusion attempts to within 1.1 m (3.6 ft.) while ignoring harmless disturbances caused by wind, rain or vehicle traffic.
MicroPoint-POE-S combines 2 decades of field-proven MicroPoint fence sensor performance with simplified, secure TCP/IP network integration via a single Ethernet cable for power and data transmission. The system’s inherent POE capabilities and IP connectivity for communications translate to measurable cost and time-savings benefits to both systems integrators and end users. MicroPoint-POE-S maximizes the ability to mitigate intrusion risk, simplify security infrastructure and manage a sensor from any location by any authenticated PC or handheld device connected to the network.
An interesting solution at SAGE is from AISM, an independent and privately-owned security specialist founded back in 2008. AISM will be showcasing Neuro, a newly released facial recognition system. This addition to AISM’s technology portfolio is powered by autonomous AI. According to AISM, Neuro is an essential tool for organisations to protect and empower their people, customers and operations.
While artificial intelligence tools have traditionally been expensive, complex and out of reach for many smaller organisations, AISM says Neuro has disrupted the market with its world-leading facial recognition software and approach to privacy, making it perfect for Australian government agencies and business owners. According to AISM, Neuro helps address the rapidly emerging challenges of technology, privacy, safety regulations and now COVID-19. Neuro also only requires 50 per cent of the face for accurate recognition, works in all light conditions and from elevated camera angles, is ethnicity neutral, matches historical images up to 30 years old, scans hours of footage in minutes, and works seamlessly with existing surveillance cameras. It sounds well worth a look.
At SAGE, the Honeywell team will be showcasing Honeywell’s powerful integrated security management platform – the Honeywell Command and Control Suite (CCS). This physical security information management (PSIM) system for government infrastructure is specially designed for mission-critical life safety and security operations. CCS increases operational intelligence and orchestrates people, technology and processes to help manage everyday operations and incidents in complex environments.
Powered by Honeywell’s Enterprise Buildings Integrator core platform, CCS integrates information from all an organisation’s essential subsystems, including security, fire, life safety, energy and others, as well as edge devices, and presents aggregated information through an intuitive graphical user interface. Security operators have real-time situational awareness across a facility and can respond rapidly to incidents using prescribed workflows based on standard operating procedures (SOPs).
The CCS technology platform is built on open industry standards, enabling the development of specialized applications and seamless integration with edge devices and third-party solutions. It integrates with more than 600 solutions for critical environments, empowering facilities to adopt best-in-class technology while ensuring seamless interoperability.
Optical Systems Design will show its PoE media converters, layer 2 managed switches and new ethernet solutions to SAGE. OSD’s latest PoE media converter solution was developed in association with AFL for installation in a smart pole or other confined space. You’ll also get a chance to see OSD’s range of Australian-made layer 2 managed switches and the latest products supporting IEEE802.3bt PoE. Importantly, as well as securing networks through its product range, OSD can also undertake custom work. Something else to check out at OSD’s stand will be the company’s new ethernet-focused brand, OSD Networks.
At SAGE Traka ASSA ABLOY, a leading provider of unified key and equipment management solutions, will demonstrate how organisations can securely manage, control and audit all types of items within their environment.
