SYNOPSIS

The term Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged into mainstream public view as well as more and more recently. Defined loosely as the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded networking devices within the existing Internet infrastructure, we take a look at how IoT is rapidly influencing today & tomorrow’s Engineering Disciplines, including Smart Security & Safety Technologies. Here we lay down IoT’s projected trends in Engineering, the underlying technology enablers, the typical goals for IoT related projects / ventures and its impact in shaping modern Extra Low Voltage (ELV) Systems in particular. Visualizing the concept of how ELV and Energy Management contributes into Smart Cities and what they aim to achieve. Based on those goals, we dissect Smart Cities further to understand the various domains of a Smart City. Audiences will have a clear understanding of key correlations between IoT and its role into modern Engineering with the concept of Smart Cities. One of the key features of a modern ELV system is Video based artificial intelligence; where we introduce a 4-tier framework to understand the correlation of Video Analytics technologies in enabling Video Based Artificial Intelligence Analysis. Various possible architectures, the pros and cons of each, as well as examples of Video Cameras used as sensors will be discussed. With mass connectivity comes cyber-threat concerns. Here, we touch on identification, encryption and authentication from common cyber-security threats and the relevant technologies as a solution.

To complete an IoT ecosystem, it involves multiple discipline from the many aspects of Engineering. An Integration Partner Program gives possibilities to conceive solutions amongst different systems / communication protocols not only within the security and safety domain, but also possibilities for applications beyond security. The key takeaways include the understanding of key concepts, technologies & possible integrations between multiple modern Engineering Systems, especially in Video Analytics’ role in the modern ELV domain. Access Control Systems have always been at the forefront of Smart ELV Security & Safety Systems. With the current availability of various options for access control systems & contactless smart card technologies, it doesn’t matter whether a company is implementing an IT security solution today, or is looking downstream and planning for the future, it makes sense to put in a contactless smart card access control system, because it creates a technology base that can support IT security and physical access applications on the same credential.

The below topics shall discuss Credential Formats and more of the commonly used Smart Card Access Control Systems:
1) RFID
2) ISO Standard
3) What is Format?
4) Market Trend & Technology Trend
5) Recommendation
6) Innovation of physical access control

At the end of the session, participants should be able to understand common technology used in the current era of Security Access Control Systems and much more.
