How to Implement a Unified Security Management Platform: A Case Study From the University of Kentucky Nathan Brown University of Kentucky Police Major Tom Sorrell, RCDD BCCLT, Inc.
Agenda Introductions Legacy State of UK SMS/VMS System Architecture - RFP New Deployment/Integration Robbery Case Study Lessons Learned Questions
UK s Dilemma Who owns security? Who is responsible? How can UK justifiably throw away existing security infrastructure? How can UK manage disparate technological upgrades for student and staff services? How can UK control procurement? How can UK afford reoccurring costs?
Legacy Systems Identified over 72 legacy systems on campus
Pre-Project Conditions Approximately 1,500 Existing Cameras On Campus Analog and IP mix Many Manufacturers and Models No Central Management: DVR s, NVR s, VCR s, CCTV Monitoring Out of date University Electronic Security Standards No Electronic Security Master Plan No Central Ownership
Convergence Events How is this accomplished? Convergence Video + Access Control + Other Devices This Information Is Then Converted Into Events What Triggers An Event? Camera Information Access Control Emergency Call Boxes Contact Closure Devices Audio Detection Devices
What Is Being Done In Other Campus Environments? Merging Access Control Systems with: Video Management Systems Audio Analytics Panic Alarms
Safety Improvements Threat Deterrent Improved Response Time Situational Awareness and Improved Safety for First Responders Video Forensics Parent Reassurance and Peace of Mind

UK Objectives Form an Executive Security Committee Assess legacy campus security systems Engage users and assess needs Review of current and future needs with UKPD and Administration Evaluate current security technology solutions available industry wide Determine security feature sets desired Issue a RFP for Integrated Security System Select Security Integrator Integrate Video, Access Control and Emergency Notification
System Objectives Based on Open Architecture components Smart Pro-Active System Event Driven / Alert Based SMS / VMS to work as one platform Web Based system, no thick or thin clients required Fully Integrated Mobile Devices No on-going License Fees Bandwidth Impacts / Local and Wide Area Distributed rather than Centralized Topology and impacts Integration of Key Legacy Systems without the use of PSIMS
Hierarchy Objectives Develop Delegated Authority Administration Model Develop Business Units Assign Database Administrator (UKPD) Assign BSA Business Security Authority Assign BSM Business Security Manager Delegated Authority to Local Building Users
Business Security Authorities Each building will be required to have a business security authority relationship. Will have capability to manage their own security system with Police backup. Will have knowledge of the building operations and occupants to ensure proper access rights. Approved by the Division Head/Dean
Exterior Notification
Exterior Notification Talk-A-Phone Driven Events: Camera Emergency Notification Outdoor Speakers Exterior Notification Tower: Talk-A-Phone VOIP Emergency Phone
Interior Notification Alarm system to keep people in buildings. Partnership with UK Fire Marshal and Office of Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity
Wildcard (UK ID)
Functions of the Wildcard Identification UK Plus Account Kronos UK Library Card Security Verification Key Not a GPS device
Access Control Readers
Camera/Video Management
Cameras/Video Management Event Driven Video Management Allows visual confirmation for alerts and other calls for service Prepares first responders, building operators, and Business Security Authorities Assists in searching for active situations

Gateways What is a Gateway? What does the Gateways do? How does this impact my planning? Who has access to the Gateways?
Gateways Functions Analytics: People Counting, Line Crossing, Activity, Face Capture, Dwell Time, Object Taken, Object Moved, Facial Recognition, License Plate Recognition Lock Down: UKPD has the ability to from the Central Operations Center to lock Perimeter Doors of any Access Controlled building or group of Buildings at any time.

Robbery 1st (3-31-2014) Victim walking south on S. Limestone under pedway approached by three subjects brandishing firearm Victim refused to give money or property Victim fled from the three subjects and immediately called 9-1-1
Officers Response One officer immediately dispatched to interview victim and obtain description Subjects matching description observed at S. Upper and Boliver and interviewed by two other officers Victim identified suspects who are transported to UKPD for questioning
Security System Enhancements Video Evidence Captured on 10 Cameras
Investigation As the suspects were being interviewed the video footage was reviewed It became apparent that one of the subjects in the recordings was not presently detained This allowed officers to better interrogate and determine the missing person subject Officers worked with LPD and to coordinate a traffic stop and make arrest, recover weapon
All Systems Deployed Exterior Notification (Talk-a-Phone) UK Alert (email, phone, text) Automatic locks confirmed secure facilities Main, Student Ctr, POT, Whitehall Cats Path cameras utilized to observe subjects, gather evidence, and enhance interrogations Well trained, certified Police officers
Lessons Learned ID Card central focus of security system Stakeholders provide input not decisions Develop an integration team and an expansion team Create the security standard immediately Educate capital project management Respond to concerned community
