Davantis - Experts & Thought Leaders

Experts in human, vehicle and object detection, Business Insight 3, has built on its sole UK partnership with Barcelona-headquartered technology provider, Davantis. Working together, the two organizations have released a ground-breaking product which is set to drastically improve intruder detection while reducing the number of false alarms from security systems at some of the UK’s most important national infrastructure sites. Reduced false alarms The product, called DFUSION, is exclusively available in the UK via Bi3 and uses AI to enhance Davantis’ proven machine learning algorithm. In fact, during tests it has been shown to reduce the number of false alarms by as much as 90%. It will improve overall performance and the accuracy of detections while reducing the rate of false alarms" And now, the exciting technology has secured the prestigious mark of approval from the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI). This means that it can be used as the only form of perimeter detection for everything from private land to industrial sites and critical infrastructures. To add to its merits, it has also received the UK police’s Secure by Design (SBD) Accreditation. Benefits integrators and end-users Glen Higson, Managing Director at Bi3, said, “This goes far beyond simple CCTV detection, which is why it will prove so crucial for the UK’s most critical sites such as Government and public utility locations. It is exceptionally precise, meaning it will improve overall performance and the accuracy of detections while reducing the rate of false alarms. “At the UK’s most nationally important sites, the potential consequences of missing a detection could be huge. Added to that, false alarms reduce operator efficiency and impacts time and resources. In these situations, nothing can be left to chance which is why we believe this product is going to be very well-received by both integrators and end-users alike. It can be added to existing CCTV cameras and be rented from Bi3, meaning costs are relatively low given the system’s sophistication “Plus, it might just be a matter of time before more public sites need to increase their security to the same levels as the Government and other key locations. For example, Martyn’s Law, a campaign by the mother of Martyn Hett who died in the Manchester Arena attacks, has led to the Government consulting on Protect Duty which puts much more obligation on venue owners to follow the advice they are given by counter terrorism experts and improve security.” Specific benefits of the new technology As proprietary technology, it is compatible with all hardware brands and camera models It analyses the video stream constantly and instantly makes a decision, using a combined machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithm, on whether the movement is a person, vehicle or false alarm It can work in the most challenging of environments with unprecedented reduction in false activations It is powerful at detecting small moving objects which could be obscured at short, medium, and long distances Based on detection with fixed cameras, it can instruct the Smart PTZ feature enabling directional pan, tilt and zoom to the detection area so as to provide better identification of the intruder Another big advantage of the new system is that it can be added to existing CCTV cameras and can be rented from Bi3, meaning costs are relatively low given the system’s sophistication.

  AISG incorporates technologies from Davantis, FLIR, Axis, Wavestore, Aiphone and Avigilon to create a seamless security platform American Integrated Security Group (AISG), North America’s fastest growing full service security systems integrator, is proud to announce the completion of a high tech integrated security platform at Tranquillity Solar Generating facility, Fresno, California. The AISG Critical Infrastructure group is now moved on to Garland Solar Farm, Mojave, California, the second solar site recently awarded AISG by Signal Energy, where work gets underway on a huge-scale security project. Strong Reputation In Integrated Security Signal Energy chose AISG based on experience in large integrated perimeter intrusion detection, as well as the company’s highly praised reputation in alternative energy as a leader in integrated security. Foremost is AISG’s ability to provide a cost effective and turnkey security platform that eliminates the typical scope gaps associated with traditional security systems. “The Tranquillity install is now completed and Signal Energy is very pleased with the outcome but equally excited for the Garland Solar Generating facility to be completely secured,” said AISG President, Levy Acs. “AISG has provided security for alternative energy sites totaling in excess of 3 Giga Watts,” said AISG Director of Sales, Critical Infrastructure, Michael Bennett. “Our system is completely off the grid, self-sufficient. Both communication and power are all provided at the edge eliminating trenching or third parties to complete.” A Seamless And Comprehensive Security Platform From a design perspective, AISG offers a more efficient solution with comprehensive security. By integrating best-of-breed technologies, AISG actually reduces total cost of ownership for Signal Energy. Spanning thousands of acres and over 100,000 linear feet of fence each, Tranquillity and Garland rank among the largest solar production facilities in the world. AISG incorporates technologies from Davantis, FLIR, Axis Communications, Wavestore, Aiphone and Avigilon to create a seamless and comprehensive security platform guaranteeing uninterrupted power production. AISG also announces being awarded the Roserock production facility by McCarthy Builders, the company’s first solar project in Texas. This facility is equal in size and expects to be secured and energized by August 2016.
