A number of corporations in the security industry were keen on this project, Hikvision was chosen to provide its high performance DVRs and colour cameras for the MOC, Thailand. Over 150 of DS-2CC592P colour dome cameras and 10 of DS-7016HI-S network DVRs were installed on every floor of the building.

With the most advanced H.264 video codec, the 16-channel network DVR DS-7016HI-S offers real-time viewing and playback in CIF resolution. This product supports up to 4 SATA hard drives with each up to 2TB, allowing video data storage for over 60 days. This enables security staff to review footage to assess specific incidents if necessary. In addition, with main and auxiliary video output, the DS-7016HI-S supports menu operation and video preview (through auxiliary video output) on a separate screen simultaneously.

The DS-2CC592P colour dome camera offers outstanding images using a 1/3 inch Sony super HAD CCD image sensor. Moreover, the camera features auto colour and B/W switch in horizontal resolution of 540 TVL (752x582), ensuring high image quality for 24/7 monitoring. Given the great number of people who walk in and out of the ministry building daily, there was a significant requirement to secure the location, especially the corridors, emergency exits or elevators where there is a sharp illumination contrast. Featuring back light compensation and auto white balance, the DS-2CC592P is fully matched with the requirements of MOC to capture clear images in various lighting conditions, enabling security staff to effectively monitor employees and visitors in the building.

Somchai Prajaksoot, manager of Digital Focus, which is the system integrator of this MOC project, said: “The reliable products Hikvision provided help our security staff to secure everything projected in MOC building. If an incident takes place, the security staff can find the offender through the video footages with high-quality images.”
