BRS Labs Joins CNL Software's Technology Alliance Program

more…

GLOBAL RELEASE - February 7, 2012 - CNL Software, a world leader in Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software and BRS Labs Inc., innovators of the industry's first behavioral recognition solution for video surveillance, jointly announce today a technology partnership between the two companies. The partnership, under the CNL Software's Technology Alliance Program (TAP), will allow the companies to share development kits, thus creating close integration between their products. The integration will bring together industry leading incident analytics with industry leading situation management software.

AISight™, created by BRS Labs, is the industry's first behavioral recognition solution for the video surveillance industry that observes, learns and responds to unusual activity, and memorizes these behavioral patterns as well as objects over a period of time. Specifically designed to autonomously serve as the eyes and brain for critical security environments, AISight™, is able to integrate with existing video surveillance infrastructure and identify unusual and suspicious behavioral patterns in real time. This advanced video surveillance technology is currently deployed across multiple verticals and is being actively specified into security projects across the globe.

No human is required to define parameters for the software to recognize specific behavior or objects, as it autonomously reports unusual or suspicious behaviors based on memories it has acquired over time, which significantly reduces the risk of missed events.

"CNL Software continues to optimize and improve the efficiencies of its PSIM product, IPSecurityCenter. The AISight integration will add substantial performance advantages in identifying incidents and trends, while IPSecurityCenter will ensure they are accurately responded to," said John Frazzini, President at BRS Labs.

"We are excited to be partnering with BRS Labs as they have a unique product in the market place. Together we have a shared vision of increasing the efficiency of control rooms by reducing the amount of human intervention needed, which not only reduces costs but also reduces the potential for operator error," commented Adlan Hussain, Marketing Manager at CNL Software.

CNL Software Selected for Major US Safe City PSIM Project

more…

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - November 9, 2011 - CNL Software, a world leader in Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software, has been selected by yet another major US city to provide the integration and information management platform for their City Shield Project. CNL Software has already deployed the largest Safe City project in the US to date.

With over 400,000 residents, the city plans to integrate several hundred current city cameras from both the public and private sectors in the initial phase, reaching upward of 3,000 cameras when the project is completed. The project will include video, real time alert management and radio communications that will allow local businesses to talk directly with the Police Department's 911 call center. The aggregation of this intelligence will increase situational awareness and the overall safety of the near half a million citizens who live and work in this metropolitan area.

By connecting, verifying and aggregating data from the city's multiple systems, as well as the data from private organizations and collaborating agencies, the IPSecurityCenter™ PSIM deployment will enable the city to distribute intelligence to the point of need in real time for enhanced situation management. Future plans for the project include the integration of other government agencies including transportation, water treatment facilities and school systems.

IPSecurityCenter will provide a common operating picture, to all operatives across the city. This will allow them to act faster and to provide more coordinated responses in real-time. It will support rapid decision making and more effective deployment of resources, resulting in better outcomes following an incident and reduced risk for the city.

CNL Software Receives Expansion Order for Largest City PSIM Solution in the US

more…

GLOBAL RELEASE - September 20, 2011 - CNL Software, a world leader in Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software, has received an expansion order for the integration and information management platform for the District of Columbia under their city wide Situation Awareness Program. CNL Software has deployed the largest city wide PSIM solution in the United States today.

The integration program creates a unified and central interface where situational awareness and monitoring requirements of multiple agencies within the District of Columbia can be managed and processed. Over 5,000 CCTV cameras are operating by multiple District agencies. Over the years, each agency has developed its own video control solution to fit its own requirements, with different applications, manufacturers, and control centers. The capability to share video data is critical during extraneous circumstances that require situational awareness above and beyond that of daily operations. Bringing together these various and separate resources onto one platform will ultimately improve emergency preparedness and response.

Following a successful commissioning of the initial phase of the DC Situation Awareness program, the expansion order will add additional agencies to the program and well over 2,000+ CCTV cameras bringing the total to 7,000+ cameras operated by multiple agencies.

The solution provided by CNL Software is one of the most advanced situational awareness systems in use today. CNL's IPSecurityCenter™ provides the integration and management platform to bring together systems from manufacturers including Cisco, Pelco, GE, Dedicated Micros, Bosch, ActiVu, DMP and ShotSpotter. Intelligence will be aggregated by IPSecurityCenter™ from all of these systems to deliver complete situation management capabilities.

Matthew Kushner, CNL President, of Americas says, "This ongoing relationship with the District of Columbia through the expansion of Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) fortifies their commitment to lead the way in technology and innovation to create a safe environment for all who reside and travel through DC. It also signals the increase in the overall adoption of PSIM in the Safe City vertical. This expansion, paired with other recent, significant safe city wins, confirms PSIM will continue to be a rapidly adopted platform."

IPSecurityCenter Selected for One of Largest U.S. Ports

more…

GLOBAL RELEASE - September 19, 2011 - CNL Software was recently selected by one of the largest U.S. Port Authorities to provide the integration and information management platform for port security.

The project consists of multiple ports in the region where container growth and capacity are expected to nearly double from a current 3.5 million containers to 6.5 million containers by 2018.

Heightened security has generated increased investment at numerous critical infrastructure sites across the country. Protecting the port from theft, activism, terrorism and all other forms of crime requires high levels of security. Over the years the port has deployed a wide range of physical security systems to address these security challenges. This latest enhancement will see all of these systems working together through the IPSecurityCenter™ integration and management platform, aggregating intelligence from these to increase situational awareness.

The solution will allow centralized command and control capability for all of the sites from one location. It consists of various security systems and services, including integrated and comprehensive video surveillance, wireless communications, radar, TWIC compliant access control, and a Command & Control solution for the port.

Matt Kushner, President CNL says, "We are pleased that IPSecurityCenter was selected for this critical Homeland Defense initiative. As one of the largest ports in the US and a huge contributor to the US economy, it is essential that security is World-Class. The selection of IPSecurityCenter will ensure they have consistently high levels of emergency preparedness at all times across all sites."

CNL Software Releases IPSecurityCenter™ v4.5 PSIM

more…

GLOBAL RELEASE - September 16, 2011 - CNL Software, a world leader in Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software, is pleased to announce the release of version 4.5 of IPSecurityCenter™, its award winning PSIM software.This latest release, IPSecurityCenter version 4.5 adds a number of new features which allow end users to increase situation awareness and emergency preparedness. It also enhances the user experience, making it easier for them to perform their operations using the updated Human Machine Interface (HMI).

In parallel, enhancements have been made that are designed to support CNL software channel partners to rapidly deploy PSIM solutions for their customers. Some of the key new features are;

Video Export - This offers huge time and cost savings as video from any connected camera, regardless of its geographic location or its manufacturer can be exported for incident investigation. It allows operators to select evidence by selecting cameras from a map, cameras related to an incident, from a list of favourites or by searching for a camera. Once a list of cameras have been specified the operator can select the desired location for the exported video and IPSecurityCenter will then automatically schedule, create and advise when the files are ready.

One IPSecurityCenter user centralises video from over 3000 locations allowing video to be exported from over 10,000 cameras. Prior to this, the organisation was exporting locally and reliant on operatives to transport this evidence, which was time consuming and expensive. This time saving is critical for evidence review when resolving incidents.

Alarm Types - Provide easy management of alarm process configuration. This allows rapid deployment of solutions as alarm configurations can be done through an intuitive wizard based user interface. It also makes it easier to pull in alarms from new systems when extending existing deployments.

Tile Layouts - Provide out of the box access to a wide range of video salvos. Salvos can be created, saved and recalled at any time and are governed by IPSecurityCenter's advanced permission system. A tile layout can contain a mixture of cameras from any supported video system, allowing the operator to access all visual intelligence needed to manage the situation.

Sequences - Provide built-in support for video patrols. A sequence can include cameras from any supported video management system and can recall saved preset positions.

Reporting Interface - Allows report generation from IPSecurityCenter data using standard enterprise business intelligence tools such as Crystal Reports, Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services and others.

Dashboard - Includes out of the box pre-configured KPI dashboards and expands the user interface dashboard controls.

Jon Lunnerfeldt, Product Manager at CNL Software comments "With every new release IPSecurityCenter increases in sophistication. We are working closely with channel partners, end users and security consultants to add features which answer some of the most difficult challenges faced by the security industry today. Our efforts are not only enabling PSIM to become quicker and easier to deploy, but at the same time we are constantly adding richer features to aid security operations around the globe."

These developments ensure CNL Software continues to lead the PSIM market with product research and innovation as a cornerstone of its activities. It recently launched the IPSCDevNet™, a new concept within PSIM that allows third parties to build integration drivers to the IPSecurityCenter platform.

CNL Software will be demonstrating IPSecurityCenter v4.5 at ASIS 2011 in Orlando. For further information please visit CNL Software in booth #2361 at ASIS or email marketing@cnlsoftware.com.

GLOBAL RELEASE - September 15, 2011 - CNL, a world leader in developing Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software, announces plans to deepen their existing partnership with PPM 2000 Inc., the world's leading developer of Incident Management software for corporate security departments.

The expanded partnership will increase the interaction between CNL's award winning IPSecurityCenter™ (IPSC) and PPM 2000's Perspective Incident Management software.

In addition to the current link between IPSC and Perspective, IPSC users will now be able to interact with Perspective's Computer-Aided Dispatching and Officer Management module, DispatchLog. By combining IPSC's Process Guidance rules engine with DispatchLog's Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), users of the integrated solution will now be able to monitor and respond to events, complete with the timely dispatching of the appropriate officers and agencies.

By implementing a solution that includes IPSC, Perspective and DispatchLog, corporate security departments will be able to manage an event in its entirety; from pre-event planning, to event response, to post-event documentation.

Brian McIlravey, Co-CEO of PPM, remarked, "Expanding the integration to include DispatchLog makes the IPSC/Perspective combination one of the most robust, operational Situation Management products on the market. The matching technologies ensure a seamless, end-to-end Incident Management solution."

Matt Kushner, President of CNL Software Americas, adds, "The partnership and integration with PPM 2000 will enhance the functionality of existing Perspective deployments by utilizing CNL's powerful response plan engine. Our shared commitment to giving customers the tools needed to solve complex business and security challenges was the catalyst to expanding our partnership with PPM 2000. We're excited to continue delivering new, innovative solutions and partnerships to the market."

CNL Software Announces IPSCDevNet™

more…

GLOBAL RELEASE - September 08, 2011 - CNL Software, a world leader in Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software, announces the global release of the IPSecurityCenter Developer Network (IPSCDevNet™), and becomes the first PSIM vendor to build a community of certified driver developers.

The IPSCDevNet™ will provide registered partners with all the tools and support needed to create certified integration drivers to the IPSecurityCenter™ PSIM platform. It will allow the open integration of a wide range of security and environmental management systems, including CCTV, access control, radar, PIDS, and fire.

IPSCDevNet™ partners will have access to a full test suite, which allows low cost, fast and reliable development. Partners are also provided with user guides, reference documentation and fully working examples. Interest among CNL Software channel and technology partners has been high, with a number of certified drivers already in use in installed projects.

Jon Lunnerfeldt, Product Manager at CNL Software comments, "This is a great advancement for the PSIM market. By allowing third parties to develop their own drivers, manufacturers of underlying systems who may have previously held some reservations about sharing their technology can now work within enterprise PSIM projects without sharing their SDKs or APIs. We have invested significantly in creating an environment similar to the app development which has revolutionized smart phones. This creates cost and time reductions for both end users and CNL Software partners. Ultimately, IPSCDevNet™ will provide the PSIM market with added value and greater choice."

CEO, Keith Bloodworth adds, "Our goal at CNL Software is to support an "open" architecture that allows our partners to deliver the best solutions possible to their clients. Some of our competitors use 3rd party products to create drivers but we find it much more advantageous to allow our partners to create the drivers themselves. Not only is it a technically sound approach but one that adds multiple benefits to the partners while simultaneously creating a community dedicated to providing the best solution for the end user."

Frost & Sullivan PSIM Report

more…

LONDON - 16 December 2010 - Physical security information management (PSIM) is becoming fundamental for next-generation, fully integrated physical security systems to offer advanced functionalities and to present a clear return on investment (ROI).

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan Analysis of the Worldwide Physical Security Information Management Market, finds that the world market for PSIM software earned revenues of $80 million in 2009 and estimates this to reach $544 million in 2015, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 37.6 percent.

"While PSIM is seeing a higher degree of customisation, coupled with increased connectivity, many market participants believe that PSIM functionality can or should be created with off-the-shelf software and not by customisation options," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Manager Matia Grossi. "It is anticipated that while the standardisation process gains momentum, the need to provide customised solutions will remain dominant in the market."

Software development and processor power have accelerated the adoption of PSIM. Today, the majority of the deployments is made mainly at maritime and airports, with critical infrastructure, homeland security and law enforcement applications. Declining costs and greater sophistication are boosting the adoption of PSIM. The advanced use of wizards and plug-and-play technology makes PSIM solutions viable for large- and medium-sized organisations. As a result, PSIM has extended its boundaries from being limited to critical infrastructure protection and homeland security to the larger corporate market.

The migration of physical security technologies from analogue to IP is enabling easier communication, further fuelling the increased usage of PSIM. At the same time, the increasing recognition of its benefits among both security-critical sectors and non-security-critical ones is also boosting the prospects of PSIM.

"Heightened competition is leading to a fall in price. Inevitably, more competitors means that this technology is becoming more accessible to a wider range of customers," adds Grossi. "CNL, VidSys, Proximex, and NICE with the acquisition of Orsus, are the clear market leaders at the moment and have a real stronghold in the market; these companies are driving PSIM adoption and acceptance."

Ensuring interoperability across different vendors' devices/systems remains a challenge for the market. The physical security market as a whole lacks common, open standards. Thus, virtually, any deployment requires the development of new drivers to integrate various systems. "However, the first steps towards increasing standardization are currently being made in the market from organizations such as ONVIF and PSIA," comments Grossi.

"The capability to intelligently analyse and cross-reference incoming data represents yet another challenge," states Grossi. "With some exceptions, PSIM systems, even today, still process individual alarms."

Despite these challenges, the outlook for the market is optimistic. As the traditional command centre solution providers have started accepting PSIM and end-users are demanding it, PSIM is emerging as a rapidly growing technology category promising increased year-on-year revenues.

Just what is an enterprise solution and what is this market all about? Suffice to say it has a lot to do with the infrastructure and legacy equipment, the level of analog and IP video, access control and the software running at the protected premises. It's a puzzle if you will, and it's the integrator's job to put the pieces together-using existing and new equipment and software sprinkled with a good knowledge of IT-so the end user can get the solution they need with as little 'pain' as possible.

Security Industry Expectations High - Renewal of Growth in 2010 by Jeff Kessler

Major developments in 2010 include:

- Formal industry acceptance of remote, managed access and video monitoring services

- PSIM as a differentiator in obtaining large contracts

- More evidence that the IT "takeover" of the industry is an internal matter, with personnel turning over rapidly instead of the long-feared outside "hordes" of IT integrators taking share

- On a case-by-case basis, vendors, integrators and end-users seemingly settling on a menu of video analytics to provide the highest utility for given projects. This has both improved the reputation of analytics and caused several vendors to integrate (or acquire) analytics as part of their own offerings

Software locates usable information from a mass of data

more…

There's a contradiction built into the idea of an integrated security system. The perfect security system would monitor every square inch of a protected area, send an instant alarm, swing surveillance cameras into place, deny access to intruders and allow access to authorized personnel the instant an event occurs. Although everything would be viewed, the system should only respond to events that concern security. How, from a mass of data, does one distill usable information? With more data, it is harder to know what's significant, but if there's not enough data, something important might get missed. Download Article

In the past, technology used by a security officer was limited to a guard tour system device, a two-way radio, a flashlight and keys. Often there was limited communication and incident reporting was via paperwork and relied heavily on memory. Critical information was not shared effectively. Download Article

CNL Presented at the Critical National Infrastructure Security Seminar, hosted by IBM

more…

Terrorists and political activists intent on hurting the UK economy will target vulnerable parts of our critical national infrastructure such as transport links and hubs, the generation and distribution of gas and electricity and food production and distribution.

That's according to experts who spoke at the first-ever Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) Security Seminar organised by CCTV Media, with partners IBM, CNL, Guide Security Services and Axis Communications.

With speakers from both security consultants and end users including the Olive Group, Janusian Security Risk Management, IBM and Wimbledon shared their experiences and knowledge on protecting CNI, the event was invaluable to all attendees.

Thom Williamson, head of security for IBM in the UK and Ireland, described the needs of his organisation that led him and his colleagues to specify IPSecurityCenter Integrated Situation Management software from CNL.

The event was an outstanding success, with lots of excellent feedback from attendees.
