Verayo has launched its next generation of RFID ICs based on the company’s innovative Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) technology. The first chip of the new product family, the Vera M4H, delivers authentication and security to broader markets such as mass transit tickets, secure IDs and access cards and consumer product anti-counterfeiting, where cost has been an impediment for adoption.
The Vera M4H provides an unlimited number of local (offline) authentication events.

Drivers parking their cars naturally expect a reasonable level of security, but three of the sites had no specific CCTV system to protect them. Increasing the number of site attendants wasn’t a cost-effective option, compared with the more efficient alternative of camera monitoring by the Council’s specialist CCTV control room operators.
Following detailed sites surveys, CBC’s Ganz C-Allview PTZ domes were installed. These high-speed rugged PTZ cameras, which are sealed to IP67, are designed for installation in harsh and challenging environments. Their vandal-resistant features include bodies cast from aluminium, which are hard anodised and powder coated to protect them from scratching, oxidation or attack from solvents. Operationally, C-Allview offers... [ more ]
