The SEC-35X16LR-X8 camera is one of our proposals for those scenarios with potentially explosive atmospheres that need protection.

Designed in bullet format and 316L stainless steel to protect it from damage caused by corrosion, this camera has passed the international ATEX and IECEx certifications that guarantee its perfect operation under the worst environmental conditions of gas and dust.

This camera has 2Mpx and a varifocal lens from 8 to 32 mm. In addition, with its 120 dB of WDR, it offers unmatched image quality in the most adverse lighting conditions.

For best performance in total darkness, this camera features an infrared illuminator with an illumination range of up to 150 meters, ensuring a sharp, clear and evenly illuminated image even in total darkness.

With IP68 protection, heater and wipers that make it waterproof, this camera is proposed as the most demanded option in the most hostile environments.

This type of camera is especially necessary to protect installations in explosive atmospheres such as an oil platform. Specifically, this model is installed in the Ras Sedr oil field (Sinai, Egypt), a very large area with extreme temperatures.

According to the report “Global ATM Market and Forecasts to 2024” by the British consulting firm RBR, there are more than 3 million ATMs installed worldwide and the number continues to grow.

The protection of ATMs has become a priority target for financial institutions due to the large amount of cash they handle. Attacks (physical, logical and computerized) are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are capable of causing huge financial losses in a matter of minutes.

Video surveillance systems have become a proactive tool to deal with such attacks. Video is an effective security measure, as it provides tangible evidence to expedite legal proceedings.

NVR’s Mini Range: ATM protection.

Having a recording platform specifically designed for these environments is essential. SCATI VISION’s Mini Range incorporates small NVRs ideal for small installations. They feature a compact format, an efficient heat dissipation design (fanless technology) and no ventilation elements. These features make them quiet, robust and perfect for installation in an ATM.

Fraud prevention in ATM’s

Video surveillance systems, the driving force behind the Digital Transformation of the Retail Industry

With the e-Commerce boom, consumers today are more demanding. From any device connected to the network, they are able to compare features, prices, know the ratings of other customers and make a decision even without physically seeing the product.

Despite the trend towards digitalization, retail is committed to adopting an omnichannel strategy, where stores are transformed into spaces where they can offer “unique experiences” to their customers.

Technology is redefining this shopping experience and allows brands to know their customers, their consumption patterns, even predict their purchase intentions.

Specifically, Artificial Intelligence, data collection and interpretation (Big Data) are the basis for offering increasingly personalized and unique user experiences.

On-demand services

Thanks to facial recognition, CCTV systems classify customers through demographic variables (gender, age, etc.) in real time, “anonymizing” any data, thus complying with the Data Protection regulatory framework.

Real time capacity control

Know the exact number of people in an establishment and track occupancy automatically.

Checkout lines and customer service

The video systems detect if a queue exceeds the desired number of people or the maximum waiting time and send an alarm so that the store reacts and minimizes waiting times by opening, for example, a cash register automatically.

Fraud prevention at self-service checkouts

Locating video surveillance images associated with any operation performed on your POS network in just seconds for an agile response to suspicious transactions is vital to eliminate the risk of fraud.

“Data Driven Marketing”.

Data Driven Marketing collects information from customer interactions. This method provides insight into consumer motivations, preferences and behaviors to anticipate their needs, improve the customer experience and generate greater revenues and profits.

But how can we collect this information without conditioning our customers’ behavior?

Video technology is emerging as one of the most suitable technologies, as it collects the images and therefore associated data (metadata) without interfering in the purchase process. to eliminate the risk of fraud.

PSIM, independence or captivity?

by RaquelElias | Nov 28, 2022 | Blog, SCATI News, Uncategorized

One platform to dominate them all. A unique platform. No, we are not talking about a new prequel or a sequel to one of the most successful literary and film sagas in history. We are talking about the famous PSIM (Physical Security Information Management).

It is widely believed that by using a PSIM, a user will lose the dependency on their current providers of alarm solutions, fires, CCTV, access control, etc. That you are going to have the possibility to put any manufacturer or software platform for each of the elements of electronic security mentioned above, and that is true, but you do not realize that you are entering into an even greater captivity since you are going to have a single platform to manage all electronic security systems.

Does this captivity pose a risk to the user?

Initially, PSIM manufacturers guarantee maximum integration with the customer’s existing physical security solutions, but the integrated functionality and operational versatility achieved will never reach the level of the manufacturer’s own alarm or CCTV system. There have already been cases in which, once the PSIM has been deployed, when the supplier is asked to go one step further in certain integration or new functionalities, the first answer given by the supplier is “I already have that with my own equipment, why don’t you use them instead of the ones you already have” and the second one is “if you want me to do it for you, go to the cashier”. Surely not in those words, but with that final message.

This type of PSIM platforms are generalist in nature, since they have the same functionalities for a public security, banking or industrial user. This means that, ultimately, the user who incorporates it in his entity will have an underutilized platform since there will be many functionalities that are not applicable to him, so he would be paying, and not a little, for many things that will not be used. As they are not niche specialists, they do not have internalized the specific needs of that sector, as the current suppliers of that user may have, since they are the ones who have been accompanying them and often evolving their equipment and solutions with the suggestions and requests received from that user. Because let’s not fool ourselves, at the end of the day, for a PSIM provider, that user is just another user.

Before considering the possibility of incorporating a PSIM, the user should balance the theoretical benefits with all the exit costs in case the software or the manufacturer does not meet his expectations. You have the figure of how much it costs you to incorporate it, so you will know how much more, at least, it would cost you to stop using it and change it for another one if it does not meet your expectations.

That is why, in case you are considering using a PSIM system in your organization, the end user should consider the significant risks of relying on a single electronic security vendor and the captivity that this entails.

Do you dare?
