Title	Surveillance Solutions
Speaker	Peter McKee - Sales Director,
Company	MOBOTIX AG
Description	•     Why networking video is a long term trend with a surprisingly long history •     Intelligent decentralised systems •     When it makes sense to network video and when it makes sense not to. •     How to plan for cost effective systems •     How to leverage the value added aspect of integrated VOIP With the continued and accelerating technological improvements and innovations within the Video surveillance industry the questions "What does it mean in my application" and "How can I best use this new technology" are being asked ever more frequently. In this presentation we will look at how Intelligent HiRes IP camera systems and solutions are changing the way we approach the existing surveillance applications, how to do this cost effectively and where do the new added values of such a system open up additional markets and growth opportunity to integrators and installers and what benefits do they offer the end user.

Title	Not on my Network – IT Issues
Speaker	Peter Weller - Pre-sales consultant,
Company	Verint Security Solutions
Description	•     Convergence between security and Information technology •     The IP network and its core components . •     Large scale security installations. •     How Security products have changed With the ever increasing convergence between security and Information technology, and the ever evolving IT centric products that  manufacturers offer, it is not surprising that more importance needs to placed on the carrier for these devices. The mystic cloud that is the network. What is not always understood is while security products have evolved, the IP network and its core components have also evolved. In all cases possibly to a greater degree.  In this presentation we will discuss, not only how Security products have changed, but also why the standard cry of "not on my network‚" is no longer a relevant argument for large scale security installations.

Title	New Technology for Video Surveillance
Speaker	Paul Green – Managing Director
Company	ViaNet
Description	•     How is it possible to connect remote CCTV cameras without using fixed wires •     How to successfully implement 3G connections  •     Video surveillance becomes a cornerstone of specific applications •     Major drivers in the industry and what we can look forward to. How is it possible to connect remote CCTV cameras and equipment without using fixed wires?  In this seminar Halam Rose and Paul Green of Vianet will discuss how to successfully implement 3G connections to remote CCTV cameras.  We will explore the pitfalls that can trap the unwary and identify precautions that should be taken to ensure security of connection and reliability of transmission.  The commercial and technical benefits of using 3G compared with fixed line will be addressed with examples from recent projects involving deployment of CCTV cameras in many remote locations such as construction sites and motorways plus security applications in built-up areas.

Title	Critical Factors for Surveillance Storage Systems
Speaker	Alastair McLeod - Managing Director
Company	Veracity UK
Description	•     Current and future bandwidth issues for IP Video surveillance. •     Some figures for real-world hard disk reliability – what the manufacturers don’t tell us. •     Why RAID5 is unsuited for surveillance recording, and an overview of other storage    approaches better suited for reliable storage of evidence. •     The pros and cons of solid-state storage versus hard disk storage. We demonstrate why the IP Video market is driven by increasing image resolution, recording rates and archive periods. We tackle the thorny issue of how storage systems are specified in enterprise projects, where evidential storage is critically important, and detail common misconceptions. We provide an overview of RAID systems and show why commonly specified RAID5 often produces exactly the opposite of what was desired. We look at new surveillance-specific hard disks, practical evidential transport solutions and briefly at the future of solid-state storage.
