COGNITEC
Mr. Alfredo Herrera Hernandez, Chief Executive Officer, Cognitec Systems, told us, "Face recognition applications are moving from analyzing still images to recognizing faces in real-time via video cameras. These applications bring new challenges to recognition engines. Video cameras usually produce images with lower resolution. Inside buildings and venues, people move quickly and in groups, they rarely look directly into the camera, or their faces are hidden by hats, objects, and other people. Therefore, we are concentrating our algorithm development on low-quality facial images, with faces turned sideways, up and down, or partially hidden, and on the speed of our recognition engine. Our latest algorithm B6 shows significant improvements in these areas."

KEYSCAN ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
Mr. Steve Dentinger, Director of Sales and Marketing, Keyscan Access Control Systems, told us, "Many end-users are guarding their capital expenditures and with staffing levels at an all time low employers are seeking ways to optimize staff productivity and stay focused on the core competencies of the business. Centrally Managed Access Control addresses many of the concerns of business owners today; they don't need an access control administrator, they don't need an onsite computer, they don't need to manage/maintain the access control database, they don't need to perform software updates -- all this and if they desire, they can lock/unlock doors, run reports, add or delete access permissions all via an internet connection using their smartphone, iPad, or laptop without any special software."

Videx CyberLock
The CyberLock (http://www.cyberlock.com/utility_security.html) family of access control products by Videx allows users to track and control access throughout a facility. The audit trail provided by the lock and key helps water utilities meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) security guidelines aimed at protecting watersheds and sources of drinking water.
The CyberLock system includes electronic locks and keys that enable water utilities to control and monitor access to entry gates, chemical feed areas, watersheds, water wells, and other water sources. The electronic locks and keys record openings including exceptions such as unauthorized attempts to gain entry. The detailed audit reports of each person's key activity and lock openings demonstrates a water utility's due diligence in securing their physical assets. The system's email alerts keep management updated so informed decisions can be made when security issues arise.
James Price, Technical Support Professional for the Collier County Water Department (http://www.videx.com/AC_PDFs/Case%20Studies/CollierCounty.pdf), oversees security processes and special projects, implemented CyberLock in order to meet EPA regulations. Price states, "With CyberLock, we can provide substantial proof to the Health Department and EPA that we are diligent in our efforts to secure our facilities and keep the public water supply safe."
