Hello all, We have been asked by quite a few clients about thermal camera technology, whether it's something that we supply and whether it could be used as a warning system when students start to return to schools. If you are also being asked about this technology, we are running 1 on 1 calls/demonstrations. I have compiled some information about the technology below. If you have any questions, please let me know. Many of you will be aware we partner with a IP-CCTV manufacturer called MOBOTIX, who do have a thermal camera portfolio. A number of MOBOTIX clients, including hospitals and airports, are already using the thermal technology as a proactive warning system with the MOBOTIX M16 TR (Thermal Radiometry) solution which allows you to measure thermal radiation in the entire image area and assign a temperature value to each pixel. This, in turn, helps with identifying temperatures that fall outside the allowed range. From what we have seen MOBOTIX provides a clearer representation of body temperature than other manufactures and has the ability to be within approx. +/- 0.5 degrees of the true value, with the ability to go lower using additional black box technology. This accuracy is achieved by targeted specific locations on a person’s face – the medial canthus (corner of the eye) is our most desired target area as it shows the truest value to a person’s internal body temperature, followed by the T-shape from the nose and across the top of the eyes, followed by the forehead. As a brief overview, the MOBOTIX thermal cameras offer: • Display of temperature differences from 0.1°C • Alarm in case of exceeding or falling below defined temperature ranges • Event Triggers (alarm, network message, activation of a switching output) • Screening via special TR windows or the complete sensor image • Temperature range from -40 to +550 °C – allowing cameras to be re-purposed for perimeter security, if required. • Internal SD card for recording • No requirement for NAS • Will not affect any current CCTV system as no integration required • 10W PoE power • Secondary sensor lens for day or night image It is important to note that : • Thermal Radiometry models are not Medical Devices • Accuracy depending on environmental conditions and configuration • Further accuracy is possible with a black body radiator present It is important to explain to those that are asking you about this technology, that this is not going to solve the whole problem, but provide you with data and it's how you use this data that will define how successful it can be.

In these very challenging times we at Intelligence Hosting have had a little think about what we can do to help Schools\Colleges and you as IT staff. We know that backup can be something that is incredibly hard to manage at the best of times but working remotely makes it even more difficult. We know that Cloud Backup is something that is on a lot of Schools Strategic Plans but has always been out of reach due to budget or you just haven't had the time to look at what solution you require. With this in mind we have decided that we will offer 10TB of Veeam Cloud Connect Backup and Recovery Disk Space for 6 months completely free of charge, no obligation or contract lock ins... If you don't want to continue after the 6 months you can just cancel at that point or at any point over the 6 month period. This gives you the chance to cover all your backup needs, securely and efficiently then when everything comes back to normal you can make a confident decision if the system is value for money and something you want to continue before allocating finance. The Veeam Cloud Connect Backup and Recovery product is an industry standard solution and incredibly easy to configure and get up and running. If you are already a Veeam customer you simply connect your infrastructure by either installing Veeam Backup & Replication at your site(s), or using a Veeam Agent to connect stand-alone Servers or Workstations to our Off-Site Cloud Based Disk Repositories. You can then (or we can help you remotely) backup your data via a secure AES256bit SSL Encrypted Tunnel over the Internet. All your data is held in our secure Tier 3 Data Centre here in the UK. We can even connect and backup your full Microsoft Office 365 Organisation like Mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint, giving you a safe off-site archive of all your organisational data, safeguarding you from potential disaster in case your onsite backup infrastructure failed in the event of an outage, data loss or a ransomware attack. Don't worry if you are not a Veeam user, we can also look into licensing this temporarily for you so you can take advantage of this amazing offer which would ordinarily cost in th region of £1400 If you are in the education sector and would like to take advantage of this offer please get in touch on 0800612 5031, email [email protected] or visit IntelligenceHS.co.uk and we will get this up and running for you as soon as possible. Thanks

Hello, Fortinet are running a webinar tomorrow that I thought might be of interest to some of you. They're going to be looking at how cybercriminals are looking to use the current situation to try to exploit organisations by stealing passwords, compromising systems and breaching networks. The agenda includes; How the threat landscape is changing in the face of a global pandemic What techniques bad actors are using to compromise networks Recent successful campaigns leveraged by attackers across the globe If interested you can register here: https://secure.fortinet.com/LP=8262 Net-Ctrl are not affiliated to this session in any way other than being a Fortinet partner.
