EU03: Designing Video Surveillance Systems that Catch the Bad Guys
2:45PM - 4:45PM (Wednesday, March 24, 2010)
Most video systems today do not effectively catch bad guys because the resultant images are blurry and/or blochy. As a result, too many customers are not satisfied with their investment, and they blame the integrator who blames the consultant who blames the manufacturer. Meanwhile, the bad guy keeps getting away. The reality is poor system performance and image quality is more often due to a lack of early and consistent communication between the end-user, integrator, and specifier, as opposed to technology failure. By using simple descriptive terminology and basic video standards that end-users, architects, and integrators can easily understand, we will develop a series of guidelines that will substantially improve system design and installation to more effectively satisfy end user requirements and budget.

IT02: Wireless Network Topologies from the Traditional Point-to-Multipoint Networks to the State-of-the-Art Mesh Architecture
2:45PM - 3:45PM (Wednesday, March 24, 2010)
Wireless networks can be designed with mainly three different topologies: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and mesh. All the aforementioned topologies have advantages depending on the specific application and site we are working on. Lately wireless networks based on the mesh topology have gained a lot of traction in security and CCTV applications because of the absence of any single point of failure, and because of their intrinsic reliability and redundancy. On the other hand, point to point links, and point to multipoint networks are still very common in smaller applications, or in sites where we are unable to create multiple wireless paths for data and video streams.

2:45PM - 3:45PM (Thursday, March 25, 2010)
Important changes are taking hold in the physical and IT security markets, with PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) emerging as the counterpart to established IT security SIM (Security Information Management) systems. With the introduction of PSIM, forward-thinking security professionals from both the IT and physical security camps within the organization are already plotting convergence strategies, including how to combine both technologies to quickly provide more useful intelligence to the security professionals who are charged with responding to, and resolving, complex security situations while minimizing the overall risk to their company. This discussion will highlight how the convergence of the physical and IT security silos will make it possible to combine existing technology, assets and expertise across the entire organization to change the security playing field from one of reactive one-on-one combat to pro-active risk management.

Violence and hostility in the workplace is an issue that can affect any workplace, large or small. It costs our economy 4 to 6 billion dollars per year due to increased security, lost time at work, lawsuits, and lost productivity. The most common offenders are current and former employees. Domestic violence, as well as disgruntled clients and customers, also pose a threat to the workplace.
Speaker:
Curt Crum - Supervisor, Crime Prevention Unit, Boise Police Department
SM05: Security Management Nirvana: Strategic Risk Management
4:00PM - 5:00PM (Tuesday, March 23, 2010)
Public and private organizations are rapidly deploying physical software to increase asset protection, and improve safety and security. By coupling these efforts with their traditional IT security information management (SIM) solutions, they have the potential to become a significant new security asset for broad-based pro-active threat detection and response. Rather than looking at the problem as either a security or technology issue, some leading organizations are doing top down risk assessments to set priorities and identify areas where teaming between the traditional physical and IT security groups can lower overall costs while increasing protection and safety. But how can these organizations optimize the implementation of these systems to reduce risk and enhance overall security management? How are risks identified and prioritized so the most critical are addressed first? And how can costs be reduced and existing security devices leveraged? This discussion featuring industry experts will focus on strategic risk management, including the "where, what and how" for organizations.

Join Scott Selby and Greg Campbell, authors of Flawless: Inside the Largest Diamond Heist in History, as they guide us through the Antwerp Diamond Heist of 2003. They'll show us step by step how thieves encountered each successive layer of security and figured out a way to beat it. Such security included a specially secured zone around the building, locked down entrances with metal barriers, a CCTV system, guards, light sensors, heat sensors, vibration detectors, motion detectors; a LIPS brand vault door strong enough to withstand explosions, a combination dial on the vault door, and more. It is a fascinating story that will be sure to inform and entertain!
