Welcome to the IFSEC Global Review – the IFSEC & FIREX International 2014 Special.

Featuring the latest exhibitor news, five brand-new features for this year’s show and an infographic showing a sharp year-on-year increase in visitor numbers – from within the UK and internationally, as well as right across the supply chain – the third issue offers much for anyone visiting or exhibiting at ExCeL London for the world’s premier security and fire show.

This month’s cover feature comprises contributions from a range of security experts about the trials of body-worn cameras by several London police forces. London City Police are trialling body-worn camera and transmission technology developed by Xtralis, who will showcase the technology on stands D950 (IFSEC) and M700 (FIREX) at ExCeL London.

Also included are another infographic – the Periodic Table of Security – 4 IP surveillance Myths Debunked, courtesy of IDIS, and Secure Transport in Smart Cities, which explores the broken window theory – reducing serious crime through stricter enforcement of lesser crimes.

Look out after IFSEC and FIREX International 2014 for a post-show edition of the Global Review, with reviews of keynote presentations, industry debates and other show highlights. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy both the IFSEC Global Review and, if you are attending, what promises to be the biggest and best IFSEC & FIREX International yet.

The BSIA is marking the 20th anniversary of its Export Council with a drinks reception. Taking place on its stand at 3pm on Tuesday 17 June the event will benefit hugely from IFSEC’s relocation to London, which has seen international registrations more than double compared to last year. The association will also host an informal luncheon covering the benefits of BSIA membership between 1pm-3.50pm on Wednesday 18 June. Stand d1500

AXIS will share its stand with five partner manufacturers and will host programmes that support network architects, engineers and consultants in designing and specifying IP-based security systems. Visitors can learn about cloud hosting, edge-embedded analytics, efficient transmission and use of network video, while Axis will offer businesses advice on tapping into new commercial opportunities. Stand e1000

Integration will be the central theme of the Tavcom Training Theatre’s lecture programme. Supported by expert speakers including Richard Beckley of the Metropolitan Police, Professor Martin Gill of Perpetuity Research and Jon Laws, senior tutor for Tavcom Training, free sessions will cover a market that is expected to burgeon over the coming years. The lectures promise something for everyone – from specifiers, installers and technical support staff to salespeople and end-users – involved in the design and installation of integrated security solutions.

IDIS is unveiling a raft of new products, including UHD cameras and full-HD monitors and 4k cameras boasting four times the resolution and pixels of full-HD. The video surveillance specialists will also showcase how DirectIP – an end-to-end surveillance solution with plug-and-play simplicity – is deployed in a range of contexts, including for commercial buildings in the retail, finance, gaming, and logistics industries. “The extended line up demonstrates our focus on innovation and continued commitment to high-performance and quality,” says IDIS Europe MD Brian Song. Stand G700

Samsung Techwin will demonstrate how its latest generation of ‘zero configuration’ WiseNetIII IP video surveillance cameras and ‘plug & play’ network recording devices are revolutionising IP. “All the 1.3MP, 2MP and 3MP models within the family of WiseNetIII network cameras and domes are extremely easy to install and set up, as are all the Samsung Techwin NVRs,” says Joanne Herman, marketing manager for Samsung Techwin Europe’s security solution division. “However, it is the open-platform capabilities of the WiseNetIII DSP chipset that will have the most significant impact on demand for IP network-based video surveillance solutions.” Stand G800

TDSi will extol the virtues of truly integrated security systems and its channel partner programme at this year’s show. The company’s MD, John Davies, said TDSi wanted to “show visitors what integrated security solutions can offer in terms of high-end security, usability and value for money.” TDSi will also demonstrate how its products and services can be incorporated into real-life projects. Stand f1100

Grundig Security’s stand will comprise four zones, focused on retail, fuel stations, a new 8MP camera and upgrade options for existing analogue installations and Grundig’s new 1000TVL camera range, 960H DVRs and plug-and-play NVRs. The German manufacturer will showcase its new fisheye camera and 1.3MP low-light cameras, 2MP and 3MP cameras in fixed dome, box, bullet, vandal dome and speed dome formats in the retail zone. The fuel station zone will demonstrate how cameras with higher resolutions reduce camera counts and therefore costs, and how cameras optimised for license plate recognition can combat “drive-off” theft.

Police trials of body-worn cameras promise to revolutionise policing for the better – regulating the behaviour of belligerent suspects, helping police officers

follow procedure and capturing crucial crime-scene evidence. A similar trial conducted in Rialto, California last year saw an 88% drop in complaints against police officers and a 60% fall in incidents of officers using force.

Now the cameras are being tested across 10 London boroughs as part of an £815,000 trial. London City Police are trialling body-worn camera and transmission technology developed by Xtralis, who will showcase the technology on stands D950 (IFSEC) and M700 (FIREX) at ExCeL London.

Should the trials succeed it could herald a new era of policing and rapid growth in an embryonic segment of the surveillance market. But if BWV, which was first trialled by Devon and Cornwall police back in 2006, promises an array

of potential benefits, then the police – in partnership with the industry – must surmount a number of logistical and regulatory challenges first.

We canvassed the opinions of security professionals from across the supply chain on how the industry might help the police comply with the data protection act, build public trust and preventing flaws that could be exploited by criminals.

Samir Samhouri, ceo and chairman, XtRaliSThe amount of data being collected if all police are fitted with body-worn CCTV would present a major challenge. Issues of storage capacity, effective archiving – for easy access etc – and setting appropriate storage regulations (password protection, encryption, transfer methods and storage periods) would all be pertinent.

body-Worn camera Trials: how can the Security industry help the Police?

This also applies to having an efficient procedure for removing and archiving data in timely manner – at the end of each shift for example.

The retention of data would also be subject to the Data Protection Act and RIPA act if targeting individuals. Ultimately, the responsibility for following legislation and implementing best practice falls to the customer, but companies like WCCTV, who have experience with the requirements of law enforcement, are well placed to assist in initial consultations.

ian andreW, naTional Police liaiSon, aRgYllWhen developing new products the industry must fully understand user requirements as well as legislative and procedural restrictions. Guidelines prohibit constant recording of audio so use must be incident-driven.

Forward-facing screens on body-worn cameras may allow the perpetrator to see witnesses otherwise out of their view, placing that person at risk. Footage should not be reviewed at the scene, where it may be seen by others, and it must not be possible to access files if the device or memory card are lost. Storage computers or networks must be physically secured against unauthorised access or have appropriate software installed to secure and manage files.

CCTV files must be destroyed after 31 days unless required for evidential or other purposes, which must be recorded. Personnel must be allocated to comply with these guidelines or appropriate ‘back office’ management software installed.

Police operate in high-stress situations where ease of use and robustness are critical. Some suppliers still present overly complex products that have been developed with a focus on technology rather than addressing the issues.

The industry must work openly with the police as a partner rather than a supplier to reassure the police that the systems are right for them.

PeTer WebSTer, ceo, CORPS SECuRitYI think they are an excellent idea. There has already been an indication that people change their attitudes and actions once the cameras are rolling because they know that evidence is being gathered. This is true of both members of the public and the police, who are more conscious of the way they perform their duties when they are wearing a camera.

As I understand it, data from body-worn cameras is typically stored on the camera or another body-worn data storage device. But the problem with this situation is that the wearer could be overpowered and the device stolen if the attacker felt the recorded images would incriminate them.

To prevent this situation, remotely monitored real-time data must be available, as well as a live data feed that could be sent using 4G to a remote monitoring centre, so back-up images could be retained. This is where the industry could assist the police

.

ric marTin, Technical manaGer, SENSORY SECuRE

In an ideal work I wouldn’t have any issue with being recorded by CCTV 24/7 as I feel it adds security to my life. But unfortunately we don’t live in an ideal work and the data can, and does, get misused.

If the police were to wear body-worn cameras then the benefits could be great as it will provide accurate footage of any situation an officer may find themselves in, but IFSEC Global rightly brings up the question of managing data. An officer would need to clearly indicate that they are recording a situation, such as with an LED ring around the camera, and maybe a sign on their person.

Also, the information could be gathered in a similar way to a transport system – so the images are recorded on a small loop, but then data is stored if an “emergency” button is pressed that saves the last five minutes and records the next 30 minutes, for example.

barrie milleTT, acTinG direcTor, hEalth, SafEtY, ENviRONmENt & RESiliENCE, E.ON uKThere are huge benefits in gaining real-time information when a police officer responds to an incident.

Much of the risk centres on how training is implemented. As a strategy their use will be limited by the amount of training given to the individuals wearing cameras.

Because it could be a double-edged sword; if officers don’t act appropriately when arresting someone then it could assist a criminal in getting off the charges. If they say something inappropriate in the heat of the moment then it could be used against them.

So it’s a really good tool with great possibilities, but it will only be as effective as the training given. You also have to understand your operational requirements – what you are trying to achieve.

Todd morriS, ceo and founder, BRiCK hOuSE SECuRitY Body-worn cameras can save millions of pounds a year in bogus legal complaints and save the careers and pensions of good officers wrongly accused. Many officers buy these cameras with their own personal money for this reason.

However, efforts to ‘standardise’ and enforce the use of such cameras will meet both technical and cultural hurdles. If the technology is easy to use and has the required battery life and privacy features it could be a real game-changer. It’s up to the industry to develop and improve the technology to the point it can be rolled out and managed at scale, and in a way, that is respectful of the officers and enables them to tell a few jokes while alone in a car. Xtralis will showcase their own BWV and transmission technology on stands D950 (IFSEC) and M700 (FIREX) at IFSEC International 2014, from 17-19 June 2014

a s a sales team, we deal with myriad misconceptions around HD and IP surveillance – from common, almost understandable myths to the downright bizarre. These

misconceptions hamper many in the industry from realising the benefits of new technology and slow down adoption. At the advent of IP-enabled surveillance systems early marketing messages often overpromised, while the big convergence debate, with all its ‘IT speak’, left many simply confused.

#1 iP and hd Surveillance iS Too eXPenSiveWhile this might be true of early systems, IP surveillance should not be expensive and, more importantly, it should clearly offer return on investment through tangible benefits and operational efficiencies. For instance, you save time in retrieving footage and enjoy the ability to remotely manage and monitor security from hand-held devices or conduct remote diagnostics, so no need for man-in-a-van maintenance.

HD benefits should on the other hand be a very quick win, especially for businesses facing a growing level of theft and where legacy analogue simply fails to detect suspicious behaviour.

IP surveillance also provides the flexibility to integrate with third-party systems and grow with a user’s business, thus eliminating that old rip-and-replace approach to electronic security. For support, installers should look to their manufacturers to help them build a strong business case rather than only looking at a price tag.

#2 iP Surveillance iS comPlicaTedIP surveillance is really as complicated as the system an end user or installer selects. Some vendors insist on lengthy training and require engineers to have IT and network experience as a prerequisite, so the perception – and often the reality – is complexity.

The introduction of plug-and-play solutions should offer networked surveillance that operates and installs just like analogue. Plug-and-play should eliminate IP addressing, removing complexity and nuisance for installers.

#3 iP Surveillance iS noT SecureThere is a strongly held preconception that all footage stored in an IT environment is vulnerable and that IP cameras can

Jamie Barnfieldidissenior sales manager

be accessed and controlled by anyone with an internet connection. With people using IP addresses to get live views from cameras halfway around the world, it’s no surprise there is some concern.

Network security for video surveillance starts with authentication, a username and a password. At IDIS, for example, we have a package of security protection technologies that safeguard the usability, reliability, integrity and safety of the network and video footage. These include an encryption algorithm, while further SSL and password encryption protects data from tampering and unauthorised access, ensuring compliance with financial institute-level specifications.

#4 We need microSofT- and ciSco-cerTified enGineerS To inSTall iP SurveillanceThis goes back to the myth that IP has to mean complexity. While there’s certainly an argument that some basic knowledge of IT and networks is useful for installers, there should be no requirement for a deep understanding of networks, nor proven certifications that are expensive and time-consuming to achieve.

The latest plug-and-play systems, should totally debunk this one—installing and operating with all the simplicity and convenience of analogue, there is no steep learning curve or training costs and they should not require a certified IT engineer during implementation.

Seeing – and touching – is believingWith surveillance, seeing is believing, and we’re finding

many engineers need to touch and feel new technology to overcome misconceptions. During IFSEC International at London’s ExCel, we’ll offer engineers an opportunity to see that our DirectIP™ solution does exactly what it says on the tin.

A demo will provide engineers an opportunity to plug-and-play for themselves, setting up live full-HD streaming with a handful of HD and IP cameras with an NVR in minutes. It’s not complicated, it’s affordable and secure and will offer installers a high-performance and powerful IP and HD proposition for their customers. So come to IDIS stand G700 for a truly myth-debunking exercise!

f or five years, a high-flying executive boarded a train in East Sussex on his commute to work, paying £7.20 each day instead of the £4,500 cost of a season ticket.

Eventually his deceit was detected, but by paying £42,550 in unpaid fares he has protected his identity and avoided court action. There has been outrage that an apparently wealthy commuter can escape prosecution, but his elusive exploits also raise questions about the surveillance of Britain’s rail network outside of towns and cities.

The more reliant the nation’s economy becomes on these sprawling urban centres, the higher the losses when major disruption occurs. But does security in cities also depend on the ‘broken windows theory’, which suggests that serious crime can be reduced through strict enforcement of lesser crimes, such as pickpocketing, vandalism and fare dodging?

Writing in The Guardian last month, smart-cities researcher Gary Graham recalled a government meeting in which he argued that most people aren’t concerned with hi-tech transport infrastructure or bio-tech innovation but are more bothered about getting by – even surviving – in cities where growth can heighten poverty and crime as much as business prosperity.

“uToPian concePTS”Last year, Graham visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston to explore, via a series of workshops, how people would procure their goods and services in cities of the future. He reported that workshop participants felt smart cities were “utopian concepts growing from a vision put forward by one group of businesses”, and that everyday citizens were disenfranchised.

Addressing the fear of crime and problems in the dark underbelly of society have long been concerns for the security profession; in an age of smart cities, these issues must not be neglected. Quizzing stakeholders during a recent inquiry into security on the railways, MPs on the Transport Select Committee heard about one project to support British Transport Police (BTP) officers in targeting pickpockets using London’s stations.

While pickpocketing is not restricted to cities, issues such as people congestion and multiple distractions make them particularly vulnerable. Improved wi-fi connectivity in stations and reduced manned supervision will likely present more opportunities to thieves. Said Dr Andrew Newton, a research

Andrew SansomFeelance Jounalist

fellow at the University of Huddersfield’s Applied Criminology Centre: “In an era where it looks like we are going to have extended wi-fi coverage on the underground, fewer ticket offices and extended opening hours, what have they [BTP] done to look at the impact of that on crime – particularly with extended wi-fi and people having their mobiles out?”

Andy McCullough, of the charity Railway Children, said young people are more often victims of pickpocketing than perpetrators. Despite increased surveillance, stations are natural places for them to frequent. “Sometimes ticket checks are not consistent across different places,” he says. “I think it is just another place where young people can be lost.”

But McCullough also warned that security in cities could push runaway children to other regions. “If you want to go missing, you want to avoid CCTV,” he said. “You don’t want to walk through Manchester city centre, where you will be filmed 167 times from various angles. I think it has squeezed

young people into other areas where populations are quite transient.” Concluding, McCullough told MPs that children are “our future passengers” who “will set the culture of railway stations”.

mulTi-aGency aPProachFor cities to become safer for vulnerable people, technology must be exploited via a multi-agency approach. Things

are changing, and in recent years the transport police and train operating companies have engaged more closely with voluntary groups. Such collaboration is vital, especially as suicides on the rail network have risen by about 20% since 2010. In an effort to arrest this trend, smart camera technology has been installed on a hotspot stretch of track in Stoke to identify people at risk.

So, are the safety and security of future cities connected to the ‘broken windows theory’? Devised in the 1980s by James Wilson and George Kelling, this theory argued that a building with several broken windows is more likely to attract further vandalism than a building in good condition. If the transport network is considered a ‘building’ of sorts, it’s a theory that merits consideration if smart cities are to fulfil their promise.

IFSEC 2014 will feature several talks about transport, including ‘Safe Transport Hubs in the UK’s Capital’ by John Strutton, safety & crime prevention manager at Transport for London (TfL), taking place at 1.30pm-2pm on 17 June in the Safe Cities Academy

l ive event TV will broadcast at IFSEC and FIREX for the very first time. Interviews with visitors, speakers and exhibitors will be screened via multiple large screens and

plasmas and stream live over IFSECGlobal.com, IFSEC.co.uk and FIREX.co.uk.

IFSEC TV is sponsored by Xtralis, while FIREX TV is backed by C-TEC.

IFSEC and FIREX event director Gerry Dunphy said: “We’ve already used live broadcasting at other UBM events and the results were seismic. For exhibitors it’s a major opportunity to broadcast their services to the whole audience and for visitors it’s a marvellous way to obtain relevant information, wherever they are in the halls.”

innovaTion TrailWe’re always keen to improve our exhibitions and one thing attendees have often requested is clearer signposting to genuinely innovative products and services. With this in mind we’re launching the IFSEC Innovation Trail, which will guide you through a handpicked selection of pioneering products that are being showcased on the show floor for the very first time.

And we’re not talking minor software updates or slightly different camera casing; we want to flag genuine innovation – technology with the potential to make real changes to the industry.

emphasis is on a hands-on, rather than a passive, experience, with installers and integrators invited to test out the latest kit.

Anglia Tools will run the Tool Zone, which will feature demos from Dewalt, Milwaukee, Bosch and Makita. A networking bar, meanwhile, will provide a meeting point for installers and end users.

With installer registrations up by 72% year-on-year as IFSEC and FIREX International relocates to London, the addition of Security & Fire Installer Live could hardly be more timely.

Safe ciTieS academy & eXhibiTionA 2011 Frost & Sullivan report identified the rise of ‘safe cities’ as one of five ‘mega trends’ for the next 10 years in aerospace, defence and security. Defined by the research firm as “a plan to enhance public security and welfare by deploying networked security systems across a city’s infrastructure to optimise the necessary response from detection, action to management”, Safe Cities is an important addition to IFSEC International’s roster of zones.

Focusing on four key areas – urban infrastructure, cyber security, counter terrorism and public order – the Safe Cities Academy & Exhibition will provide education, solution and technology providers for global governments, public sector officials and companies to secure their cities from threats and attack.

Safe Cities is endorsed by the UK Government and London Mayor.

neW venueThe most spectacular change of all, of course, is the event’s relocation to the capital. As a 100-acre site with some of the world’s most impressive exhibition facilities, ExCeL London is well suited to the demands of a Protection & Management Series comprising six huge shows.

Located in the heart of the Docklands business district, ExCeL London is also perfectly placed to attract a more international audience – and indeed, registrations from overseas visitors have soared by 115% compared to last year. The decision to relocate to London has been well and truly vindicated by other registration figures too – including 40% of new registrations accounted for by completely new visitors and a strong increase in registrations across the entire buying chain, including a 129% rise in end users.

from Greenham common to riots in a&e: my life in SecurityQ&A

P eter Finch, who was security adviser at Sandwell & West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust at the time of this interview, began his long career in security in 1978,

joining the Royal Air Force as an RAF Policeman. Becoming provost officer in 1986 he specialised in counter intelligence and also undertook counter-terrorism, nuclear security and Royalty, diplomatic and VVIP duties just as the cold war was thawing.

ifSec Global: Is there much difference managing security in a hospital compared to your other roles in security?PeTer finch: In principal, no. The theory of security and security management is pretty much the same. Crime prevention is pretty much the same. I looked after nuclear weapons when I was in the Royal Air Force, albeit on a smaller scale. We have radioactive isotopes in imaging which could

create a dirty bomb if strapped to enough explosives.We have harmful pathogens and toxins in the pathology

department that could be used for bio-terrorism. We have people and equipment to protect from damage and theft, just as we protected personnel and aircraft, whether from the Russian Spetsnaz, the IRA or the women at RAF Greenham Common – which was quite an adventure.

iG: So what happened there then?Pf: There was a Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the 1980s with a lot of women protesting against the deployment of US cruise missiles at Greenham Common. At the peak there were almost 5,000 military personnel defending the base from peace campaigners, some of whom could be violent and aggressive.

iG: What was the most memorable incident?Pf: Thursdays were memorable. Giros were delivered by the postman to the peace camps and the women would cash them, buy cider and then try to scale the fence at night. We had military vehicles chasing them across the airfield.

One guy had one of his fingers cut off with bolt croppers, another was actually murdered. Piano wire was strung up between trees to catch the local horse riders on the common, pot holes were dug out and filled with water to break horses’ legs. One summer we had to move the security force away from one part of the perimeter fence because the nearby forested area had been used as toilet and the smell was so bad that some of the guys were actually being sick.

iG: There a few more important roles in the world than nuclear security – I don’t think that’s hyperbole…Pf: It was the height of the cold war, where we exercised daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly to protect nuclear weapons from terrorists and Russian special forces. I don’t want to discuss UK nuclear security but it’s a measure of our success that none of our weapons are missing; some of Russia’s former satellites are now struggling to account for theirs.

iG: So what have been the most dramatic incidents during your time in the NHS?Pf: We’ve had the Handsworth riots on two occasions. And during the Birmingham riots three guys were murdered some 300 yards from our A&E department.

When the injured are brought in or self-present their families and friends also come in, and suddenly you can have dozens of people wanting to come in with the potential to lose control of the hospital. So we need to protect and defend the hospital pretty much in the same way that you defend a military base to keep it operating.

By their nature hospitals are open and welcoming, so we need a way of securing the Trust by locking our doors automatically. We then triage outside to determine who needs to come inside.

iG: Can you give an example of where you’ve handled a dicey situation with aplomb?Pf: We can talk about the Birmingham Race Riots in 2005. A story circulated that a young Asian woman had been assaulted and raped by a group of South Asian men in nearby Handsworth. The story was completely false but it ripped through the community. It ended up with the police and ambulance service creating a triage point at Handsworth but the emergency services were bringing in victims and the public were turning up at A&E – what you call self-presenting.

Cars were smashed with bricks, some elderly Asian men were

on the verge of a riot outside the A&E dept, a police officer had been shot and was in A&E, as was a young boy who had also been shot.

There were different factions within A&E, many with stab wounds, machete wounds, and we had to separate these groups and create separate clinical streams for treatment. It worked but we didn’t know if they had weapons underneath their coats so the nurses and doctors were working in a real climate of fear.

iG: Wow, that’s pretty incredible. TV hospital dramas often exaggerate real life – but that sounds more dramatic than anything offered on Casualty.Pf: Yes. We see people at the depths of despair, we see the homeless with little hope. Some are ex-military. Women who’ve been assaulted by their husbands, husbands who’ve been assaulted by their wives. People of all ages with mental health issues, alcoholics, people who are suicidal. We see it all.

A significant issue is dementia, which will get a lot worse over the next 20 years. This will be a challenge not just within the NHS but across the world.

iG: Budgets are getting tighter, healthcare’s growing more expensive…Pf: It gets more expensive, but it becomes cleverer. As an example we’re doing away with stethoscopes in the not-too-

distant future, replacing them with digital hand-held devices.

As a security manager it’s important to keep up with what’s going on in the NHS. If we can prevent theft or damage, then we don’t have to replace that equipment, so that money goes into healthcare. That’s what we’re here for.

iG: How bad is the problem of nurses and doctors being assaulted?Pf: We had over 180 nurses assaulted in this trust in the last financial year and of those over 80% were assaulted by people with dementia,

who were confused, mentally ill or reacting adversely to a clinical intervention. Imagine that you’re in a theatre, coming round from an anaesthetic and all you can see are grey objects floating around you – you will lash out with your arms and legs to defend yourself and unintentionally assault a nurse.

Healthcare Security is a specialist area but functional security is no different from a shopping centre, building site, commercial enterprise – the aim is to protect the organisation’s assets. In my organisation some of those critical assets are the staff.

Healthcare security and counter terror will feature prominently at IFSEC International 2014, including a talk about physical protection in the NHS, by Mike Tolley, principal security consultant at Cogent (FM) Solutions, on 19 June between 12.30pm-1pm.

Surveillance camera review: Axis Q6044-e Colin Bodbyl

Zeecure.com founder and CTO of Sonitrol

e arlier this year Axis announced a massive upgrade to their Q60 line of PTZ cameras. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the new Q6044-E model and spent a

few days putting it through its paces.The Q6044-E – 720p pan-tilt-zoom camera – has several

upgrades that differentiate it from older 720p models, including 30x optical zoom, better low-light sensitivity and electronic image stabilisation. The Q6044-E also boasts automatic defog and shock detection features.

Since I already had a lot of experience with the original line of Axis PTZs, I decided to take the Q6044-E straight into the field.

I began by installing the camera using a wall mount arm. The first thing I noticed was that Axis had not changed anything about the mounting procedure. While the camera is extremely easy to assemble, Axis is still relying on an IP66 Ethernet connector to create a watertight seal inside the mounting arm. These connectors are difficult to work with, expensive to replace and mean the camera couldn’t support I/O or audio jacks. If I asked Axis to change one thing about their PTZs it would be the IP66 Ethernet jacks. Aside from the silly connectors (not required indoors), Axis Q60 PTZs remain some of the easiest to install.

Powering up the unit I was met with a crisp, clear image. Since the camera is 720p and the monitor we use 1080p, full-screen mode left the image slightly pixelated from the digital zoom. That said, users who use a big screen may consider the Q6045, which has a full 1080p resolution. The pan-tilt-zoom functions were fast and pleasantly responsive. The stand-out feature, of course, was the 30x optical zoom, which I tested in a variety of situations.

The 30x zoom-720p resolution combination is extremely powerful, though fully zoomed in the camera was very sensitive to vibration. The electronic image stabilisation (EIS) was off by default. Once enabled I saw a slight reduction in the camera’s total resolution, but the trade-off was well worth it. The EIS worked beautifully. In future versions of the Q6044, I would love to see an option to automatically enable the EIS whenever the camera zoomed beyond a certain point. For example, guards could enjoy full-resolution images with EIS off while zoomed out, yet if they needed to suddenly zoom in then EIS would kick in beyond 20x, stabilising the image.

I couldn’t test the defog setting since I can’t control the weather… yet. I did test the auto-tracking feature, which worked surprisingly well.

Shutting off the lights I tested the camera in several low-light applications. It performed well, especially outdoors where the moon and streetlights lit the scene from various directions.

The camera struggled slightly indoors with darker shadows, since light leaked in from only one direction. Axis advertises the camera’s low-light sensitivity as “nearly three times better than the industry norm for HDTV cameras.” It was certainly above average.

The last feature I tested on the Q6044-E was the new shock detection (available on all Q60 cameras). I threw a few tennis balls at the camera, which was configured to swing to where I stood when a shock was detected. On a direct hit it worked perfectly. I would recommend, though, that anyone using this feature should configure it to test various impacts; shock detection is configurable and some users will want less sensitivity than others.

Overall the Q6044-E is another step in the right direction for Axis. I’m glad to see that instead of increasing the Q60 line’s resolution they’ve focused on functionality. I’ve always found that optical zoom and user experience matter more than total resolution when it comes to PTZ cameras. Therefore, at 720p this camera’s image quality is comfortably above average, something I’ve come to expect from Axis. I’d still like to see some things changed, but overall Axis is certainly on the right path with the Q6044-E.
