SECURITY PROFESSIONALS' VIEWPOINT:
By Glenn Forrester, CEO, Edge - Integration Systems Read More
Future Direction
for System Integrators : CCTV is a Device of Access Control
Dr. Frucht
Mr. Gabi Buganim-Managing
Director - Synel
Security is the main concern in the society, every part of the world today. It has emerged as an important element of life assurance and comfort. News can be heard highlighting security stories everyday. CCTV is one
of the famous solutions to ensure security at public areas and even for
retail owners. Video security professional systems have always been extremely
propulsive business especially if the company endures sometimes quite
trenchant pretensions of the security market and launches its efforts
into the development zone. Read More
The
Upcoming New Technology "I believe that the Biometric Systems with proven technologies that can identify and verify individual based on physical or behavioral attributes, will be the next fastest growing market. The main biometric systems involved fingerprint systems, facial recognition systems, iris recognition systems, and hand geometry system..." Read full editorial  Vicky
Rutherford, President of Rutherford Controls Int’l Corp.:" As the need for security heightens, it is vital that the security industry achieves a balance between physical security and life safety. With the proper selection and installation of access control hardware, industrial, residential, commercial, institutional and healthcare facilities can allow free egress in the event of an emergency, while also maintaining security. RCI offers a complete line of electric locking products as well as access and egress control systems to the architectural hardware, security and locksmith industries."  Mr.
Shlomo Barkan, CEO of ISM Safes:"The safe business in our export markets, especially in the US, have changed their demands to much more sophisticated safes. There is a growing demand by the security managers in government organizations for safes that will withstand an explosive attack, not just a burglary, after the tragedy of September 11. There has also been a demand for trashcans which can withstand an explosion. There is no doubt that terrororism has changed the way that most organizations deal with materials which could also be used against the population - terror attacks are no longer a distant scenario, but must now be considered as a real threat. All bodies which stock dangerous materials that could be used against the civilian population must revise their security procedures in order to take into account such a threat. In some cases, the solution is better safes that can withstand a serious attack or penetration."  Maxim
Ushakov - President, TS-Market"Present-day tendency of developing the market of audio/video recorders directs first of all towards further record quality improvement and functional expanding, due to net technology integration and the use of ever growing processors computing capabilities. The next important changes of audio/video recorders are power consumption lowering and increasing of the used memory - hard disk drives or flash memory. Use of all the above-stated achievements provides us with a good possibility to create modern recorders with minimal sizes and perfectly competitive with usual devices by functionality and technical performances. Nevertheless our company already offers the products, which completely conform to the tendency, and we plan to offer several more audio/video recorders by the end of this year. The products will use the latest achievements and surpass not only our own products, which are the first in the world by the size of battery, power consumption and functionality, but also the awaited world analogues."  Joe
Grillo, President and CEO of HID:"Although orders of new cards triple in the two months following Sept. 11, it was not a windfall for HID," said Joe Grillo, President and CEO of HID. Mr. Grillo noted that access cards are HID's lowest-margin business, and that HID gave up some profits by waiving fees typically charged for faster service. "There has been a greater amount of interest in HID's higher margin cards (i.e., contactless smart cards that carry a biometric), but it hasn't translated into many more orders," Grillo said. "Security is not going to add to your bottom line--it's just a necessary evil."

Damjanovski, Editor
CCTV Focus Magazine and CCTV Labs:"In the last couple of years CCTV is going through a major boom with the introduction of digital video recorders (DVRs). This trend is continuing in 2003, but when talking about DVRs near future, there are two things that have become clearer to many CCTV installers and users. Firstly, there has been a “natural” selection amongst brands in regards to system durability, stability and performance. Users and installers have now learnt that irrespective of what was claimed about the DVRs they have decided to install (pictures per second, days of storage, split-screen displays…), the most important feature is the longevity of the unit. There is simply no use having a recorder with 400 pictures per second for 16 cameras recording capability (as claimed by some manufacturers these days) if such a recorder can not run for more than a few months without breaking down. In 2003 many installers have a very good idea which machine can and which can not perform. Such longevity depends clearly on the hardware, as well as the software. Secondly, most good DVRs have grown up to the level of looking into things beyond just fast recording and good picture quality – in helping users have intelligent machines by making their searches quicker and by having more automation in their surveillance operation. Many DVR manufacturers now start including clever algorithms in processing images, such as face and licence plate recognition; analysis of the image content, such as car stopping in a busy motorway; detecting removal of valuable objects in museums and galleries; etc, all of which is done automatically, by intelligent analysis of the live or playback video."
"2006'
will see a further maturing of the Security Supply Industry.
Mr Philippe Marc, Managing Editor, "SecurityPark": "New technologies are rapidly changing the Security industry. www.SecurityPark.co.uk publishes industry and company news on a daily basis and its extensive articles archives and its comprehensive industry directory are therefore the ideal source of information for Security Professionals who want to keep ahead of the latest developments."  Alex
Vella, CEO SecuritySource.net (800-789-8372)"Speaking to the point of security product distribution, 'systems integrators' are the drivers of this industry segment. Commercial CCTV is the future for installers who want to own their own business. Direct sales and compression will continue at greater levels. SecuritySource.net is the online marketplace for the security industry professional; delivering BuyDirect(tm) for wholesale product sales, and BizTools for business news and services live, 24 hours a day."  Lennart
Alexandrie, Publisher,
Ar Media International:"Since 2003 has been a period of relatively slow growth or probably non-growth, my belief is that 2004 is going to be the year when the security service providers will start to make business again. The bottom has been hit and there is no other way than uphill for trade with security products and services. The telecom sector will substantially increase their sales during 2004 after some disasterous years. It will be the year that signals the breakthrough of the 3 G-nets which will have an impact on all sectors, more or less. The world's economy will show significant signs of recovery, even though threats and actions from terrorists may continue to disturb and slow down the positive economic development a bit. The security technology will continue to head towards digitalization, especially the product segment network video systems which will have a significant growth. The demand for wireless alarm systems will continue to increase, as will the demand for RFID solutions in access control applications. In general 2004 will be the turning point for the industrial world - in a positive way." REGIONAL MEMBERS' CEO'S VIEWPOINT
 Don
Coker - President- Seevid Inc:"With the increased Facility Security Requirements in the Western United States since 9/11, we have seen a tremendous growth from our Commercial Industrial, School, Military and Casino customer base for our product offering of integrated Digital Recording/Remote Monitoring products that are integrated with other systems including Access Control, Facial Recognition and Area Surveillance."  Godfrey
McFall – Associate Director, Advantage System SolutionsIn a world where the demands on the security services are becoming ever more challenging, there is growing need to harness the latest technologies to increase protection and reduce risk. Our customers want rapidly deployable, scalable security solutions that can solve their problems quickly and effectively, and which can integrate seamlessly with their existing systems.

 Shayne
Hughes , National Operations Manager, Total Task Security International:"Over the last 16 years the security industry has undergone some dramatic changes, changes that reflect the intensity of protecting all aspects of civilization. As the technology grows around us, the training, experience and operation on how we perform the selected function is always at hand. I believe that growth for the industry is through professional development from the guardhouse to the system integrators to the managing directors. The industry as a whole needs to empower education and never lose sight of our goal. To protect people, property and information from any breach of security. TTSI understands security and the relevance of protection. We offer electronic security, physical and personal security, security transportation, and security training. Each are fields with their own levels of expertise. TTSI assesses the needs and outcomes of the security service being sought. We will either source the experts of each field or have our own professionals deliver the service. Our aim is to provide a complete approach to security by networking with industry professionals so we can all work towards our goal."  Rudolf
Kevato,Chairman, Hotronic Delta:"We are a security products ( CCTV, Intruder Alarm, Access Control, Fire Alarm ) wholesale firm in Estonia. We are a distributor for JVC Professional, Cooper Security, Apollo Security, Yoko Technology, CTNCOM, Transpac, Funktel. After 11th of September, and before Estonia joins with EU and NATO, there has been a growth for demand of integrated security systems. In 2003 we will do our best to offer up-to-date security solutions in cooperation with our suppliers "  Mr.
Peter Charagionis, CEO of Chronografiki
S.A." The forthcoming Athens Olympics have created increased demands for advanced security systems. Such events are potential terrorists targets but also targets for common criminals. Stadiums, airports, public transportation, hotels and other areas with big traffic of people, need increased surveillance and protection. Our company can provide high tech solutions to most of them."  Alex
Radwill, Business Development Manager, ViDOG Pty Ltd" ViDOG Pty Ltd is young and dynamic start-up company registered and operated in Australia & New Zealand. Despite the fact that the company is only one year in the market, we already established good business relationship with major security wholesalers and suppliers in New South Wales including Merit Li-Lin, The Spy Supply shop etc… "  Col.
Armando Stavole, I.C.A. - International Consulting Agency "After the Soviet Empire collapse, military security with anything else related is not the most important issue any more - homeland & global security are gaining dramatically and swiftly more and more importance. More and more the hi-tech research & development as well better training are going to reduce the technological and professional gap between defense and law enforcemet with other security civilian organizations. Today, organized crime and terrorism are thinking and acting globally, their top ranks are cool and with no borders at all and in any sense, they are full of money and stupid and/or fanatic manpower. Either we, the good guys, move fastly and firmly, or we will succumb." Security Professional PEOPLE News
