Conway Security Products Conway Security Products’ managing director Chris Newman has set off on a 240-mile charity cycle ride from Naphill in Bucks to Broad Haven on the western tip of Wales. Chris is part of a team of six with many of the group working in CCTV, building management or related sectors. James Campanini is the M.D. of Cisco WebEx while Matthew Piercy is an executive with the cloud computing company VMware. Ian Marchant works in noise control and Ian Bond owns a classic car restoration company. Andy Pope is the fittest member and runs half marathons as if he were going to the corner shop for a paper. The cyclists have more bikes than Lance Armstrong but have chosen road models to take them through the Cotswolds and around the top of the Brecon Beacons before descending into South Pembrokeshire. They come to this stern challenge after an unimpressive performance in the London to Brighton ride where they were close to bringing up the rear. The group is raising money for Sport Relief, their target being £1,000. Please donate by visiting www.justgiving.com/N2B2010

Romad has donated one of its lone worker protection devices to Cancer Research UK … A rise in thefts at the shop near Cardiff Central train station led to Shop Manager Samantha Griffiths appealing for security solutions.“It’s sad that we should have to worry about this kind of crime. Our supporters go out of their way to donate to us to make a difference towards our life-saving work.” Romad, Europe’s fastest growing manufacturer of lone worker devices responded to Samantha’s call for help by supplying an RSP-100, one of the key features of which allows volunteers to make an SOS call in the event of them being involved in an incident whilst on duty and if necessary, to do so discretely. The functionality of the RSP-100 enables personnel at G4S’ alarm receiving centre to quickly assess the situation by listening in to the device whilst alerting the appropriate emergency services if required. The Cardiff branch of Cancer Research UK, located on Central Square, received a special commendation from the charity for its staff’s dedication to service. Volunteers are aged between 15 and 86 and include retired people who want to do something sociable for a good cause, as well as younger staff completing Duke of Edinburgh Awards or NVQ qualifications. Lee Howells, Romad’s Sales Director said: “It is a sad indictment of the state of our society that people who are prepared to volunteer to help raise money for such an important organisation as Cancer Research UK are having to put up with this kind of worry. We are therefore delighted that we have been able to help by donating an RSP-100 and with the assistance of G4S, who have kindly offered to provide the monitoring services free of charge, hopefully the shop’s volunteers will now feel they are working in a safe environment.” Background Information: The Romad RSP-100’s small size and light weight, (it weighs just 62.5g with the standard battery attached), means it can be worn on a lanyard or clipped to a belt. Simple over the air commands are used to configure the device, providing 4 pre-programmable speed dial numbers and a rugged SOS alert button. One of the pre-allocated speed dial numbers, for example, allows lone workers to leave a recorded message when they arrive at an appointment. This message is safely stored on the Romad server and can be quickly retrieved if the user is out of contact or if there is concern for his or her’s welfare.

a “huge” data security breach of the new Apple iPad. The FBI is investigating after what has been described as a "huge" data security breach of the new Apple iPad. Email addresses of 114,000 early adopters of the much-publicised 3G tablet device, including high profile figures from business, politics and the military, were exposed by the breach in an AT&T network on Monday. A statement from AT&T said: "The issue was escalated to the highest levels of the company and was corrected by Tuesday. We have essentially turned off the feature that provided the email addresses. We are continuing to investigate and will inform all customers whose email addresses may have been obtained." No details emerged publicly about the incident until the company that obtained the email addresses, US firm Goatse Security, told a US technology website about it yesterday. iPad Data Breach According to industry website Gawker, the Goatse engineers found an application on the AT&T network that allowed them to obtain the email addresses of iPad users when the system was sent written queries. By running a PHP script based on the publicly-available ID numbers of iPads, engineers were able to obtain the email addresses associated with the ID numbers they had queried. It turned out that the 114,067 ID numbers they obtained included email addresses for many high-profile individuals in the US. As well as Mayor Bloomberg, contact details were obtained for White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, staff officers in the Department for Homeland Security, NASA, the Senate, the House of Representatives and executives in Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, HBO, Time Warner, Dow Jones and Viacom. An FBI spokesman said they have opened an investigation "to address this potential cyber threat". The FBI also said it is investigating whether Goatse’s actions constitute a crime. However, Goatse defended its actions by saying that it made sure the vulnerability was fixed before announcing it publicly via Gawker and that all the private user information gathered by them was destroyed. iPad Data Security The Gawker article that reported the breach suggested the incident shows there could be wider vulnerabilities with iPad data security. However, experts believe that this is not the case. For example Graham Cluley, a senior security consultant at Sophos, told the Daily Telegraph: "iPad users in the UK and elsewhere should not be unduly concerned by these reports. The vulnerability appears to lie in AT&T’s networks…spammers could, in theory, use these email addresses to target iPad users with specific junk email, selling cases or accessories for this device, but there’s no evidence that any malicious third parties have accessed this data."

Genie Access, a division of Genie CCTV Ltd., has launched a new concept in electro mechanical locking, offering unparalleled features and benefits over conventional electro magnetic locks. Vortex is a powerful yet compact magnet fitted with a conical orifice which confines a very strong alloy pin within a vortex of magnetic and mechanical forces. This product is available in various sizes and models suitable for surface or flush mount high security installations. The new compact magnetic lock has been introduced in the market as not only a retrofit option but as an alternative to conventional magnetic locks. Vortex offers solutions to various high security applications in which conventional magnetic locks can not be applied. It is an ideal product for high security applications not only because it is extremely compact and secure but also due to the sensory technology it offers. Apart from its compact aesthetic appearance, The Vortex magnet, GAMEM 2400LP incorporates a large, oval, forward facing status LED which alerts passers by to the actual status of the door (i.e Green or Red) The size to holding force ratio of the Vortex magnetic lock enables the product to be fitted to low hanging doors and provide a holding force of 1500 Kg (3300lbs). This significantly outperforms a single or even DBL Standard magnetic lock which only holds 1000Kg (2200lbs) Conventional magnets pose a health and safety risk due to their physical size and weight. Both these issues are overcome with Vortex as it offers greater holding force at a quarter of the size and weight than its rivals. In addition to the incredible holding force, Vortex has 3 different sensors built in to output maximum information about its status at all times. One of the most prominent sensors in the Vortex is an early warning pressure sensor which detects an applied force to the door and provides a warning before the integrity of the door is actually compromised. Additional sensors include door positioning and door status. The new compact locks are now available nationwide through most security distributors. Rui D’ Almeida, Genie’s Access Control Manager says “When compared to a standard magnetic lock, the new vortex locks are 30% more stronger, 75% smaller and boast 50% less power consumption, making them energy efficient”  

Veracity, the leader in connectivity and transmission solutions for IP Video, will launch its latest transmission innovation – OUTREACH Max – at this year’s IFSEC. Each OUTREACH Max, when placed between a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector and a network device such as an IP camera, enables installers to extend high quality network connections by 100 metres per OUTREACH Max device up to a maximum of 800 metres extension, depending on the PoE source used. OUTREACH Max goes further to transmit power via standard Ethernet (CAT 5) cables to all types of PoE devices including standard IEEE802.3af PoE, IEEE 802.3at ‘PoE Plus’, 4-pair and even 60 watt (or more) unclassified ‘Super’ PoE devices. Super PoE is now being used by several manufacturers of external dome cameras, for example, so that heaters and fans inside the domes can be powered via a single Ethernet cable. Alastair McLeod, managing director, Veracity UK Limited, commented: “Veracity is responding to the proliferation in the range of PoE classes and number of PoE devices that have been specified and installed over the last 18 months with our latest installer-led innovation OUTREACH Max. It offers installers the ability to easily extend PoE of all types out to outlying IP cameras wherever they are on the site.” OUTREACH Max will replace OUTREACH Plus effective immediately and is available through Veracity’s usual distribution channels at a recommended retail price of £149 (+VAT). Veracity products are available in the UK through Anixter, Norbain, Black Box, and DVS. A network of European distributors also carries the product including ADI, Norbain NL and Anixter.
