IP security

Secure solutions
Mayflex understands that the advent of IP based security products has meant a huge increase in
the integration between security systems and another step in the march of Internet of Things (IoT)
deployments. Traditionally from an IP networking background Mayflex knows that interoperability
through Software Development Kits (SDKs) is key to getting the benefits that the IoT offers.
Mayflex offers door access control from Paxton, along with IP cameras from manufacturers like Axis,
Avigilon, Mobotix and Dahua. Notably, Axis and Paxton have integration through their SDKs allowing for
events in their solutions to be merged. To drive the new security offering, most integrators deploy Power
over Ethernet (PoE) switches. Mayflex supplies Dahua, Edgecore and Levelone switches to cover any
budget or technical challenge.
Footage creates the need for storage and the ability to manage stored data. Milestone software
(VMS) and QNAP NVRs also supplied by Mayflex allow for footage to be integrated, exported and
viewed, whilst taking integration to the next level.
Mayflex also offers training courses directly and through its vendor partners, helping customers to
take advantage of the opportunities that these new technologies bring. Courses offered take customers
from the basics and simple implementation all the way to advanced technical training.

Light, camera, action
The new Mobotix p25 6MP features
a decentralised system design and
the ability to record to an onboard
SD card. The p25 has also had a
major increase in light sensitivity,
implementing Moonlight Sensor
Technology. This has been achieved
with a wider sensor, improved image
processing software, noise reduction
filter and a sophisticated new lens.
A highly flexible camera, offering
a range of lenses available in day
or night options, surface mounting
kits and optional two-way audio and
speaker functionality. The built-in
activity sensor and MxAnalytics also
provides activity heat maps and
people counting.
The p25 features full image
recording which remains active while
allowing the operator to use digital
PTZ (Pan Tilt and Zoom) up to 8x
on both live and recorded images
without impacting the full stream
recording function. This innovative
feature provides the operator with
the advantages of flexible real time
scene inspection, without the loss
of overall area monitoring that
is a major disadvantage of older
mechanical PTZ systems. When
installed in the corner of a room
with a 103° ultra wide lens, the 6MP
image resolution offers a complete
and detailed overview from just a
single camera.

Remote control
Providing communication with an infinite number of doors, Aiphone’s IP network based IX
intercom system is designed to interact with a long list of ONVIF compliant IP cameras and
leading Video Management Software (VMS), such as Avigilon, ExacqVision and Milestone,
as well as the Lenel OnGuard security management software platform.
The system offers video entry security, internal communication, emergency stations and
multicast paging. All of these functions can be implemented between remote locations
over large areas and distances, making IX an ideal solution for any type of application
involving multiple locations such as airports, education campuses, railway stations and
parking facilities.
IX has been designed to provide a flexible, scalable communication and security
system, offering users the opportunity to interchange a large number of door and
master stations to match specific project requirements.
Any Aiphone master on the network can be used to remotely unlock doors, assist
on site visitors from an off site location and broadcast emergency announcements. IX is
easily intergratable with third party systems such as access control, IP network cameras
and video management software (VMS), to provide a total integrated security solution.
