Taichung Harbor turns to ACTi for surveillance
Taichung, Taiwan
Taichung Port is one of the four international commercial ports in Taiwan and is among the biggest in the country. At present, there are 47 wharfs, 17 specialized zones and 3 free trade zones integrated within the total area. Until now, 45 businesses have made investment in Taichung Port with a total capital of NTD 347.2 billion. (USD 10.3 billion)
For this project, the major concern from Taichung Port was to ensure the security within the entire territory. Since it took 600 meters between each camera, it was highly difficult to transmit videos with coaxial cables and would have resulted in high installation cost.
In order to solve the problem, ACTi's IP surveillance system was adopted. Taichung Port deployed the solution package comprised of 44 analog cameras with 11 ACTi ACD-2200 4-channel video servers. In addition, 3 fiber optical runs were made to allow smooth and fast video transmission.
ACTi provided a complete range of video servers which gave Taichung Port Bureau many options. Finally, they chose ACD-2200 and were very satisfied with this model. ACTi ACD-2200 supported four independent audio in addition to good video quality at D1 (720x480) resolution.
As for the software part, Taichung Port Bureau utilized NUUO as the recording software and its ability to connect from remote sites. Additionally they also used ACTi's NVR as the central management software because the eMap function was essential for their SCADA control system.
