Megapixel surveillance technology in Hortpark, Singapore

IP technology, more and more popular in video surveillance systems, has practically monopolized monitoring of dispersed locations, where it is impossible to build cable systems.

An example can be extensive park or other open area. In Hortpark in Singapore such a system is based on wireless IP network and high resolution cameras. The cameras employed in the system - ACTi ACM-1231 (K1511) and its counterpart in dome housing - ACM-3411, provide to the monitoring center images of 1.3 Mpix resolution at 8 fps. Due to MPEG-4 compression it is possible to transmit high quality images of required parameters via wireless network (each camera generates traffic below 3 Mbps).

Monitoring of several locations with remote surveillance center

The main problem that has to be solved in this case is transmission and recording of video data. The solutions used in modern installations divide the video surveillance system into smaller units with individual servers. Management functions can be executed by client station connecting with the servers. Additionally, setting access rights, Internet browser will allow to follow the video online, e.g. when motion detection has been triggered. The solution can be can be implemented with ACTi devices, as in the picture.

Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd. (CPT) is one of the world's largest manufacturers of picture tubes and LCD screens. To monitor the whole plant, the company has decided to implement fixed IP cameras ACM-1431 IR from ACTi and dedicated ACTi NVR software package. The backbone network is based on optical fiber, the local connections are made with UTP cables. The cameras and active devices are powered with PoE technology.

The NVR server is also under video surveillance. The staff of the managing center as well as of some other sections have access to the live resources and archives according to their access privileges.
ACM-1431 is a compact day/ night camera with integrated IR illuminator. The ACTi NVR software package allows to record 64 channels (total: 1920 fps at D1).
