Q

Video surveillance systems

The following parameters determine the effectiveness of a video assessment subsystem

A
  • Minimum time between sensor alarm & video display
  • Complete video coverage of the sensor detection zone (called the assessment zone when sensors & video are integrated)
  • Ability to classify a 1 ft. target at the far edge of the assessment zone
  • Vertical field of view at the far edge of exterior detection zone = height of a standard fence & person climbing it

Q

Video Surveillance

In designing a video surveillance application security managers should keep in mind

A
  • Video surveillance is a visual tool of security & should be applied accordingly
  • Video surveillance systems should always be designed with future growth or changes to the needs of the application in mind

Designing Video Surveillance Ctd…

No matter what, the equipment of the system will become obsolete

A
  • Obsolete does not necessarily mean ineffective or out of date for the application
  • If a system is obsolete but performing well, its because the original application was correctly designed to meet performance needs

Limiting Factors

A
  • Analog video recorders average a playback of 225 horizontal lines (very low)

- DVR’s digitize analog signals, dropping 25% of the resolution

- Sloppy installation or cheap coaxial cable costs 10 - 15% resolution

Q

Video Surveillance

All IP cameras measure resolution as a multiple of the Common Intermediate Format (CiF) about half the average 325 horizontal lines; not recommended as a usable standard for storage

A
  • 1/4 CIF = 176 x 120 (3,520 pixels or .003 MPX)
  • CIF = 352 x 240 (84,480 pixels or .08 MPX)
  • 4 CIF = 704 x 480 (337,920 pixels or 0.3 MPX)
  • 16 CIF = 1408 x 960 (1,351,680 pixels or 1.3 MPX)
  • 32 CIF = 2816 x 1920 (5,405,720 pixels or 5.4 MPX)
  • A 4 mp camera = resolution of 400 ASA film
  • A 6mp camera = resolution of 100 ASA film
  • most effective & current standard for digital video compression is the H.264 compression algorithm

  • Spectral distribution of the illumination source
  • Object reflectance
  • Total scene reflectance
  • Camera lens aperture

102
Q

Barriers

Fences & Walls

A
  • Are the most common perimeter barriers

  • Demonstrate commitment to security & may stop a casual trespasser
  • Channel traffic & reduce the required number of security personnel
  • Provide intrusion detection and/or video surveillance zone
  • Force intruders to demonstrate intent
  • Must be maintained
103
Q

Barriers - Walls

Walls are generally more resistant to penetration than the doors, windows, vents, & other openings

A
  • Most can be breached with the right tools
  • Using explosives & cutting tools and adversary can make a “crawl hole” through 18” reinforced concrete in under 5 min.
  • Increasing wall thickness usually adds only a moderate delay against explosives, even though the amount of explosive needed increases substantially with a wall thickness
  • Ordinary reinforced concrete walls can be penetrated quickly because they are generally designed to support structural loads, not to thwart or delay penetration
104
Q

Walls ctd…

A
  • Placing two or more reinforced concrete walls in series results in longer penetration delays than using one wall that is thick as the two walls combined
  • Removing the rebar often takes longer than removing the concrete; delay can be increased by using additional rebar; increasing rebar size, or decreasing rebar spacing
