How the Virginia Port Authority Put the Control Back in its Control Room: The Virginia Port Authority faced several unique challenges following the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Needing to manage risk at its three marine terminals located on the Southern tip of Virginia from security threats (Norfolk International Terminals, Newport News Marine Terminal and Portsmouth Marine Terminal), it invested $22 million in security upgrades that included 250 IP-based video cameras, new access control software, perimeter fence sensors and other security elements to harden buildings. Now, it needed to provide its police officers and dispatchers in its new command center in Norfolk, with the ability to integrate these devices and electronic access to this data at a moments notice. How did they do it?

Bigger Bang for your Buck: Non-Traditional Uses of IP Surveillance: In these uncertain economic times, more than ever before, organizations are looking for a return on investment for their surveillance expenditures. While there have been many attempts to prove the ROI of security based surveillance, this presentation is designed to look at ROI from another perspective. Instead of proving the ROI of security-based surveillance, why not leverage security surveillance infrastructure for non-security applications for which it is much simpler to calculate a clear ROI? These examples include marketing and revenue generation, green initiatives, operations efficiency, and reduced liability and fraudulent insurance claims.

Separating Video Wants From Needs--The Essential Questions: This presentation will explore, in detail, the essential questions that the decision maker must answer before contacting anyone--consultant, integrator, or manufacturer--about purchasing a video surveillance system: How will your video system be used? Where do you need surveillance? While it may be nice to have every square foot of your facility covered, can you afford it? What type of video do you need? What is the right technology to use for your application? How can you maximize the investment in your system?

The Integration of Safe & Green: Insight into the Green Security Movement: Can security and sustainability be aligned with one another? Or are they destined to collide in modern buildings? This presentation will discuss what it means to be "Green" from a security perspective and demonstrate that security and sustainability can function collaboratively within a building. It can appear that Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design certification (LEED) is driving a wedge between sustainability and security. In today's competitive landscape, however, a corporate sustainability program is quickly becoming as important as a company's security program. As security professionals, it is crucial to determine how security and sustainability can coexist, and even discover applications in which they can support one another.

PSIM Round-Table
For many PSIM (or physical security information management) remains a nonsense acronym, but the term is rapidly gaining in acceptance to describe software that correlates any number of sensors (cameras, motion detectors, access readers, fire alarms, panic buttons) and presents them in an organized fashion. However, PSIM is more than software—you could say it’s a new philosophy of security. This panel discussion will help define PSIM and talk about where the market is heading.

Lighting the Way to High-Quality IP Video: One of the most common measures of how well an IP surveillance system is designed is the quality of images produced. While camera selection is important, the right amount of light at a scene can dramatically improve clarity of images and the efficiency of the system. In this session, learn how appropriate lighting can lower bandwidth consumption and reduce storage costs for your system and how the use of active infrared technology can optimize video quality for effective 24/7 surveillance.

Using Retail Traffic Patterns to Enhance Your Bottom Line:
For retailers, the pressure on margins has never been greater. Maximizing revenue per square foot and optimizing in-store marketing tools makes additional dollars flow directly to the bottom line. Previously, the tools used to do this were both labor and data-intensive, and expensive to deploy, but advances in technology make it possible to use existing video infrastructure to largely automate this process. The use of retail traffic analysis to better understand the customer experience, how customers react to in-store promotions and advertising, and how long shoppers linger in certain areas of retail stores allows retail operations to gain completely new insights into their business performance in close to real-time. Understanding customer behavior patterns helps retailers reduce loss and improve their bottom line.

How Security Systems, Data Centers, SCADA, and data itself are at risk from device born intentional electromagnetic interference:
In this session, attendees will get background information on the threat of intentional electromagnetic interference threats against civilian and non-military government facilities, mission critical systems and data assets, hear about the business impact on industry, and discuss remediation strategies. With multi-disciplined expertise and threat testing programs, speakers will also share information from their work with Congress and standards organizations toward remediation of issues these threats represent to various areas of critical infrastructure. One granular example is the effect of these devices upon data, changing the data state, which is a non-network borne cyber attack, as well as a physical threat.

Feb. 2, 8 a.m., Opening Session Lightning Round:

Dave Tynan, VP of sales at Avigilon, presenting on JPEG2000 Compression for HD stream management
Avigilon Control Center with High Definition Stream Management (HDSM) provides progressive compression used in storing and managing image transmission to disk. Within the end-to-end Avigilon HD surveillance system, images are compressed using the industry standard JPEG2000 format. JPEG2000 compression was introduced in 2000 as the evolution of JPEG compression and provides high-resolution compression more efficiently than conventional JPEG/MJPEG while also allowing for progressive decompression. Progressive image decompression is used by HDSM to allow the image data sent to a remote client to be scaled to the resolution required by the client monitor. Scalable transmission and HDSM allow you to efficiently transmit detailed regions of the image to greatly reduce the bandwidth required to view the image as well as the demands on the client workstation to decompress the video.

Charles Foley, Chairman and CEO, TimeSight Systems, presenting on Video LifeCycle Management
Video LifeCycle Management, or VLM, recognizes that there is essentially a “time value to video,” meaning that video is very valuable in the hours/days surrounding its initial capture, but that the video declines in value over time as it gets older, less relevant, and no untoward events have happened. Eventually, video is discarded as it costs more to retain than it's worth. With this new VLM technology, the video can be increasingly compressed over time as it ages, thereby freeing up massive amounts of storage.

Stephen Russell, co-founder and chairman of 3VR Security, presenting on intelligent video search
The P-Series is a hybrid DVR/NVR built on 3VR’s searchable surveillance platform. The P-Series SmartRecorder makes all the rich features of 3VR's unique surveillance video search available to enterprises and provides new possibilities for large scale deployments, offering customers the ability to easily scale and network implementations supporting thousands of cameras.

Doug Marman, CTO of VideoIQ, presenting on cameras with on-board analytics and storage

How the Partnership Between Physical and IT Security Integration Can Benefit the Industry:
As security integration becomes more complex and increasingly converges roles traditionally taken on by both physical security and IT departments, it is crucial that physical security integrators and IT integrators partner to deliver in tandem better products and services. A successful partnership benefits everyone from the manufacturer on down to the end user: We'll show you how to make it work.

Mobile SaaS meets the demand for Eyes Everywhere:
IP cameras that are easy, affordable and effective are available on a subscription basis to the untapped market of SMB's, homeowners and now to those end-users demanding mobile professional surveillance. What will it take for integrators to embrace this opportunity for new customers and increased revenue through recurring monthly revenue? Will IT and cellular companies swoop in and grab market share from the existing security professionals because of their level of comfort with IP technology? Or will the security community step up and reestablish their dominance in the security realm? There is a gap in the market and the question is "who will capture the market in the gap"? Who will be the early adopters of this use of mobile IP technology and who will be the laggards?
