IFSEC Global takes readers through the latest product launches and software updates to hit the security market throughout August 2022. This month we cover new integrations, perimeter security, drones, smart security and license plate recognition.
Keep up to date with all the product releases and software updates in the security industry here:
CLD Fencing’s FlexaRail system, developed to safeguard and protect children’s play areas, has been re-engineered to offer new features in safety and sustainability.
The system has been scaled up to include the latest installation and safety adaptions and offers a more sustainable manufacturing process, says CLD, enabling clients to specify an environmentally focused security solution. Another benefit includes approval by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for the use of FlexaRail’s standard bow top around play areas.
The system’s vertical tubular bar metal railings are available in a variety of heights to allow taller panels to be created where physical security needs to be ramped up, designed to create a formidable barrier around nursery, school and playground perimeters. FlexaRail is purpose-built to offer perimeter protection on uneven ground, with self-raking metal railings following the contours of steep gradients without the need for stepping.
RaySecur
MailSecur scanner launched to detect drug-laced papers
RaySecur, a provider of desktop T-ray security imaging scanners, has announced an expansion of its T-Suite Image Processing Platform for detecting papers laced with illicit drugs.
The technology is designed to help correctional facilities who struggle to stem the flow of drugs into prisons and jails, via papers soaked with drugs and other harmful substances. When dried, the drug-laced papers can be undetectable to humans, making the papers an ideal substrate for smuggling. When paper is treated with drugs, it changes the way it interacts with the T-rays, which enables the MailSecur scanner to detect the anomaly – without anyone having to open the mail.
Placing the letter or parcel on the scanning bed, will display a 4D video of the contents in real-time which will dynamically change as the operator manipulates the object on the scanning bed. Untreated or normal paper displays a green image, while treated papers will present as yellow or red depending upon the saturation level. MailSecur uses safe T-rays, or mmWaves, and is reported to be the first scanner of its kind to receive Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designation as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT) under the DHS Safety Act.
MailSecur requires no special training and is said to be “300 times more sensitive than X-rays at detecting powders or liquids”. In addition, MailSecur can detect all nine types of dangerous substances identified by DHS, according to the manufacturer. General availability of the laced paper T-Suite solution will be in Q4 2022, with other offerings to follow.

The partnership between OneMind and Corsight AI is an example of how IoT integrations can support police forces with increased intelligence to identify and fight criminal behaviour and protect the community. OneMind’s recently launched Hypervisor SVI, for example, integrates Number Plate Recognition, Vehicle Registration and Corsight’s Facial Recognition solutions to support police departments in response to carjackings.
Dedrone
DedronePortable launched for military and commercial use
Dedrone has launched DedronePortable, an all-in-one kit that offers comprehensive drone detection, tracking, and identification capabilities (DTI) on the go. Said to be used by military, government agencies, and commercial entities around the world, DedronePortable offers Dedrone’s machine learning technology and end-to-end defeat capabilities via a system designed to be set-up in the field, in less than 20 minutes.
The device can be combined with DroneDefender to not only DTI enemy/unauthorised drones but also deny and disrupt the RF bands used by most commercial and military drones, and across the GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, SBAS, and QZSS geo-location bands. These capabilities help to ensure that military or homemade RC controllers, along with commercially available drones, can be detected and mitigated. Additionally, DedronePortable can be equipped with the ability to deliver dis-information to the enemy through deliberate drone spoofing capability, if required for combat situations.
All key components required for drone detection are included in DedronePortable, which can be easily transported from location to location. All required equipment including sensors, power supply, cables, a ruggedized laptop pre-loaded with the DedroneTracker and the drone identification database DedroneDNA, and more come pre-packaged in easy to transport and assemble kits.
Ajax
Fibra technology
Ajax has developed Fibra, a digital-generation wired technology. Fibra is designed to combine the reliability of wires with the freedom of radio connection. Features from Ajax’s wireless solutions are included with Fibra – up to 2,000 meters of connectivity, compatibility with all types of devices, 60 hours of operation of a system consisting of 30 devices on a backup battery, advanced anti-sabotage, photo verifications, instant notifications, hassle-free installation and remote configuration through an app.
At the physical level, Fibra detectors are connected to a control panel with a four-core cable. However, the new technology is hidden at the software level. Fibra requires minimum power for two-way packet data transmission and this feature is designed to provide more freedom when installing the system, compared to both the analogue and digital solutions available in the market, says Ajax.
The communication protocol logic helps to ensure collision protection: 30 detectors connected to one line will communicate steadily, even while being triggered simultaneously. Alarms are transmitted in 0.15 seconds. Fibra communication is organised according to the TDMA principle. Each device is allotted a short time frame to exchange data with a hub and the rest of the time, their communication modules are inactive. This is designed to reduce power consumption and help avoid interferences even when multiple devices communicate simultaneously.
IDIS
6MP and 8MP PTZ Cameras
IDIS has launched four new 8MP and 6MP PTZ cameras that deliver “outstanding” image quality and extend the company’s NDAA-compliant line-up.

The cameras feature IDIS Smart Failover; built-in heaters; IDIS Intelligent Codec to deliver bandwidth and storage savings; true WDR, and electronic image stabilisation to minimise the impact of vibration and shaking. Designed for wide-area surveillance operations, the models are said to give users the ability to quickly verify security events, with the capability to clearly identify objects and recognise faces at distances of up to 300m for forensic purposes. Two-way audio provides operators with the ability to pre-configure alerts or issue verbal warnings.
The cameras are also equipped with motion detection, tampering alarms, and a range of smart PTZ features that can move between pre-set positions and zoom in automatically in response to detected objects or events. The 8MP and 6MP PTZs have plug-and-play connectivity with IDIS DirectIP NVRs and are backed by extended warranties. Users can choose the cost-free IDIS Center or the modular, enterprise-class IDIS Solution Suite video management software (VMS) that comes without on-going license fees.
