Product News Cyber security feature added to Axis’ body-worn cameras Lund, Sweden All three new Ecliq programmable keys are IP67-rated with a long battery life body worn solutions helping to enforce trust in video evidence. This valuable feature adds a cryptographic checksum into the video stream allowing the video to be reliably traced back to the unique Axis camera where it was produced and verifying that the footage hasn’t been tampered with. Investigation advantages Whether in criminal or civil investigations, it’s vital that the authenticity of video surveillance can be presented without question. Because any doubt, however small, can be used to undermine Axis Communications has added a new cyber security feature for its body-worn cameras. Available with firmware release 11.0, signed video provides an additional layer of protection for the relevance of the video evidence. Now, thanks to signed video, it’s possible to verify the authenticity of video throughout the entire chain of custody. Within Axis cameras, signed video uses the Axis Edge Vault hardware component, one of the key security features built into Axis products. It is a secure cryptographic compute module which can be used for cryptographic operations on securely stored certificates. It provides tamper-protected storage, enabling each device to securely store sensitive data and provide for secure execution of applications. Recorded images protected Axis body worn solutions allow wearers to view video files on a mobile device or even in the VMS/EMS after the camera is docked and synched. However, for security purposes, camera wearers cannot access or share footage directly from the camera. Signed video provides an additional layer of protection for body worn solutions so assurance is promised that the authenticity of video evidence is protected – from the point of capture to the court room. Collaboration results in smart outdoor latching solution Oulu, Finland and Ennepetal, Germany Collaboration between Iloq Oy and Dirak GmbH has resulted in a smart and secure latching solution for outdoor applications. For the last two years Iloq and Dirak have been working together to develop a smart latching solution that would operate reliably in outdoor applications and provide enhanced security for critical infrastructure sectors such as power, utility and telecom. For optimal protection against weather conditions and vandalism, the Iloq S50 half cylinder lock is fully integrated into the Dirak swinghandle that is RC2-approved according to DIN EN 1630. The lock is opened using the power from an NFC-enabled smartphone making it a battery-free solution. Access rights to open the lock are sent to an app running on the smartphone. They can be updated and cancelled remotely and in real time. This keyless solution eliminates the risks related to lost or stolen physical keys and ensures that only the right people have access to the right sites at the right time. The solution maximizes secu- rity while enabling keyless access even in the most remote locations. The time and environmental impact of travelling between administration offices and sites to pick up and return keys has been eliminated. And with no batteries to be changed, there’s never a risk of not being able to access the sites and no unrecyclable battery waste to be handled. NFC technology, combined with cloud-based SaaS, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), mutual authentication and strong AES-256 encryption (the highest The new solution resulting from the Iloq and Dirak technical collaboration Image courtesy of Dirak via Iloq Advanced Encryption Standard), has enabled Iloq and Dirak to produce a revolutionary concept for locking technology. Optex launches new indoor Flip X detectors in EMEA Maidenhead, Berkshire Flip X is a new range of flexible indoor sensors from Optex, featuring a bespoke pyroelectric sensor for increased performance that adapts to the human shape, and a unique lens that can be ‘flipped’ to provide both narrow and wide detection in a single sensor. This ‘flipped’ lens effectively gives installers ‘2 sensors in 1’ to satisfy multiple customer demands. By simply rotating the lens through 180°, the sensor can be used to protect narrow or long area such as a hallway up to 18m, or a wide, open area like a living room or retail store up to 12m at 85°. Flip X Standard, the first to be released from the new series, is a Grade 2 sensor, that also features a digitally enhanced signal recognition logic called Super Multi-Dimensional Analysis (SMDA), that means nuisance alarms caused by changes of light or temperature can be avoided. Flip X sensors feature a sleek and compact design, with flexible mounting height options (between 2-3m) meaning they offer to seamlessly blend into the aesthetics of residential environ- Optex’ new Flip X detectors use a pyroelectric sensor for increased performance and a unique lens that can be ‘flipped’. ments, as well as buildings with higher ceilings. Thanks to an optional bracket it can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Flip X Standard is available as a PIR model, FLX-S-ST and for more challenging indoor environments as a dual-technology (PIR and microwave) model, FLX-SDT. The latter is equipped with Optex’ robust microwave module, ensuring the durability of the sensor in challenging environments, particularly humid climates, and higher levels of capture performance by tailoring the microwave to the IR detection area. 4 0 • de tek to r inte rnat io nal
