LED lighting specialist 4062 Raytec has integrated its range of Vario IP network illuminators with Milestone’s XProtect video management system, providing a high level of lighting flexibility, management and control in conjunction with all other network technologies in a security system, from one central platform.

The integration uses Raytec Milestone plug-in software, available free of charge from the Raytec website.
 
Controlled individually or in groups, Raytec network illuminators can be easily configured using the Milestone management application to create a smart system designed to provide event driven lighting triggered by alarms from a camera, detector or other network device. The same illuminator can also provide a safe and well lit area for pedestrians or workers.
 
Users can also take instant manual control of any single illuminator or group of illuminators using the Milestone smart Client, during day to day operation. Advanced settings allow for user defined lighting design to meet the requirements of any installation.

    With permission from a local road agency, researchers in from the University of Michigan hacked into nearly 100 wirelessly networked traffic lights, highlighting security issues that they say are likely to pervade networked traffic infrastructure around the country. More than 40 states currently use such systems to keep traffic flowing as efficiently as possible, helping to reduce emissions and delays. The team, led by University of Michigan computer scientist J. Alex Halderman, found three major weaknes

    Reducing congestion with Tomtom's historical traffic data
    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe
