The OEM platform has been used to convert the Inferno sound-and light barriers from Indusec into IP devices. This solution has attracted much attention due to its effective ability to instantly paralyse an intruder, and thereby reducing an intruder's ability to act before guards are in place. With the IP conversion, the Inferno units are powered through Power over Ethernet and are triggered by web requests.

"Together with Embsec we created a functional description and decided where the circuit board should be installed. Just over a month later we prepared a tailor-made circuit board ready to be installed in the unit. At the same time, Embsec had adapted a complete web interface in accordance with our graphic identity," says Johan Sandberg, CEO of Indusec AB.

The development time has been shortened as the solutions are based on the I/O-module IPA. It features Power over Ethernet, a 12/24V power outlet and digital and analogue inputs and outputs. The unit is controlled with a web interface and supports communication with all leading VMS systems.

"With our OEM platform the time to market is hard to match even for the largest companies. The manufacturer can focus their product development on its core business and still obtain a fully integrated IP solution faster and cheaper than if they had done it themselves," says Erik Lindstein, CEO of Embsec AB.

Embsec provides products and solutions to create event-driven camera systems that are fully IP based. The new OEM platform for IP conversion is directed at manufacturers of sensors and related equipment in the security industry. The OEM projects include adaptation of everything from colour schemes and logotypes to fully customised electronics, software and mechanics.

"The rapid transition from analogue cameras to IP cameras was the first step. Now it's time for the next challenge for the security industry. The Internet of Things is high on the agenda and as the industry learns the IP technology and its benefits the interest to integrate all security components in the IP system is increasing," says Erik Lindstein.
