Brickcom cameras guarantee the security of the USAL Technology Center

The Salamanca Technology Center has opted for a video surveillance solution for its protection to prevent intrusions and acts of vandalism, with a security system based on IP technology to take advantage of the network infrastructure. It is composed of the WAF Evolution Lite platform for 10 Brickcom megapixel IP cameras.

The Salamanca Technology Center, which is located in the Innovatec Enclave of the Science Park of the University of Salamanca, in the East Area of ​​the Villamayor Campus, It is characterized by its great functionality and versatility, presenting a modern appearance marked by the standards established in the Park's approach.. This new infrastructure has more than 8.900 m2 of constructed area, distributed over four floors: basement, ground floor, first and second, that will house R&D offices, on a rental basis, for technology-based companies, laboratories and offices that want to set up in the park.

This building is intended to host business projects that, added to those currently being developed, favor the consolidation of the Park as a benchmark for innovation and research in the region, linked to the University of Salamanca itself.

Needs:

• As a recently built building, a Closed Circuit Television system needed to be provided (CCTV) for your protection and safety.
• They were looking for an innovative system with growth and scalability possibilities based on IP technology to take advantage of the network infrastructure that the Center was equipped with..
• In addition to a solution that controls the perimeter to prevent theft and vandalism., It was wanted to be completed with cameras that would control access to the building, to prevent unwanted intrusions.
• The problems of a glass building and the changes in light outside, required cameras with good light sensitivity both during the day and at night.

Solution

The definitive solution was implemented by I-SAI, who trusted the platform WAF. This platform is characterized by having a great capacity for growth both in the number of cameras and in distributed servers., with the option of centralizing them in a single management point.

On this occasion, The solution has been a WAF Evolution Lite platform for 10 megapixel IP cameras. 6 of them have been of the model Brickcom OB-130N: intended for outdoors with bullet format, It is characterized by being compact with infrared and mechanical ICR function. This means that the camera has the ability to use infrared light during the day to correct changes and contrasts in light., and in night vision, Used to obtain detailed images in low ambient light. The others 4 cameras have been Brickcom VD-130N minidome format. This camera has the same ICR functionality as the previous model and is characterized by being an anti-vadal model that can be used both indoors and outdoors..

In addition to the local monitoring that the platform allows, It was also equipped with a remote client license to be able to view outside the local server location, all or part of the cameras, as well as the possibility of exporting videos.

Benefits

This solution provides the building with a system for its protection and conservation.. The installation of cameras distributed by environment, without invading the privacy of users, deters and prevents vandalism and theft in the area.

The high performance of the cameras avoids the installation of infrared lights and batteries, which makes for a “cleaner” installation with a more aesthetically cared for image..

Provides the possibility of remote monitoring with different screen configurations, to avoid traveling to the recording equipment and recover the desired video frame.

With the WAF solution you provide a platform with great growth potential, in addition to the possibility of integration with access control systems.
