Detektor/AR Media AB - Experts & Thought Leaders

Hikvision, the world’s supplier of innovative video security products and solutions, has been awarded the Innovative Achievement Award for its Thermal & Optical Network Turret Camera at the 2019 Detektor International Awards in Sweden. The prize is in the category Alarm & Detection. Of the Hikvision camera, the jury said, “Through a combination of smart analytics, thermal and optical technologies, Hikvision succeeds in offering an impressive solution for early detection and optimum performance”. Advanced fire detection The award-winning Hikvision camera DS-2TD1217-2/V1 enables rapid indoor fire detection through bi-spectrum technology Marcel Wiechmann, Thermal Products Manager at Hikvision Europe was present at the ceremony to receive the award. He said, “Hikvision is excited to receive this accolade. Our innovative Thermal & Optical Network Turret Camera was launched in July to empower security teams to stop a fire before it is truly started. It is also very cost-effective with such advanced fire detection. We’re delighted that this product has been so well recognised by the security industry.” The award-winning Hikvision camera DS-2TD1217-2/V1 enables rapid indoor fire detection through bi-spectrum technology, which captures images using both thermal radiation and visible light. By displaying optical and thermal images together through image fusion or picture-in-picture, the camera helps safety personnel to quickly pinpoint the source of a fire. Importantly, the camera also triggers an alarm once the temperature goes higher than a user-set limit – potentially allowing personnel to prevent ignition or combustion. Indoor monitoring and advanced intrusion detection In addition, the camera contains a built-in GPU for running the Hikvision deep learning algorithm, in order to support indoor monitoring and advanced intrusion detection. Equipped for double-duty - both fire detection and intrusion detection – this camera is highly recommended for indoor solutions, especially in application scenarios such as warehouses, museums, data centres, and offices.

Navtech’s AdvanceGuard AGS1600 EXTREME radar surveillance solution received the award in the Alarm & Detection category Navtech Radar, the world leading developer and manufacturer of wide area Security and Surveillance systems, has won the Highly Commended Detektor International Award 2013 in the Alarm & Detection category. Launched in January 2013, the new AGS1600 EXTREME radar surveillance solution is specifically developed to cope with the environmental and climatic conditions found in oil & gas exploration. The system is completely integrated with Navtech's sophisticated intuitive control software suite, Witness. The solution works within an ambient temperature range of - 40°C to + 65°C, and explosion proof options are available as well as solutions entirely powered by solar panels. The Detektor International awards were presented at the Security Banquet during SecTech in Stockholm on the evening of October 22nd, 2013. The Jury cited their decision for choosing AGS1600 EXTREME for the award as follows: AdvanceGuard AGS1600 Extreme Considered to be the most innovative product in this category by the Detektor International panel of judges. "Navtech is taking technology in outdoor detection advancement to the next level" Commenting on winning the award, Keith Chapman, Head of Global Sales, Security, at Navtech Radar said, "It is a true honour to win a Detektor International Award. To many people the use of Radar solutions for wide area surveillance purposes is still considered to be an 'emerging technology'. This is rapidly changing with the increased focus on early warning and prevention. Particularly when it comes to perimeter security for critical infrastructure such as airports, power stations, border protection and data centres, to name but a few. This recognition underlines the fact that Navtech's technology solutions are truly unique and address a specific need in the market. This is a very important award for us and gives recognition for the innovative and highly effective solutions we can offer. As we continue to grow the market for Navtech's products in new geographical markets, this high profile award is a phenomenal boost of confidence to the entire staff who is working so hard to secure our continued growth". The Detektor Award is an independent prize and, as such, companies cannot nominate their own products. Instead, the nomination is conducted by the editorial board of Detektor International Magazine. This independent selection criterion is the main reason why it has become one of the most prestigious awards in the global security market. Detektor Awards selects - and judges - products divided into the following three award categories: the Access Control category, the Alarm & Detection category and the CCTV category.
