So, Wintek was looking for an IP video surveillance solution to help them effectively solve plant security problems and improve management efficiency. CIEAN PO International, a video surveillance service provider, helped with the large-scale IP surveillance deployment by adopting VIVOTEK's network cameras and video management software meeting their specific needs.

48 VIVOTEK 1.3 megapixel IP7138 were deployed in the spacious production areas and warehouses. The major reason of using megapixel network cameras is because they can deliver larger high-resolution images, more than 3 times, compared with general VGA cameras do for a wide coverage. Furthermore, they can offer very detailed information as zoom-in capability. With large coverage achieved by individual megapixel camera, the installation of megapixel cameras relatively reduced the numbers they expected.

In restricted areas including administration rooms, offices and machinery rooms, 16 units of FD7131 featuring PIR sensors were installed so as to detect unauthorized access by human temperature. Compared with traditional motion detection, PIR realizes more precise detection and higher sensitivity. With a 3-axis design, the FD7131 were placed on the ceiling and against the wall to provide images in different angles. In addition, FD7131 provides PoE support, helping Wintek achieve easier installation and more cost savings.

For outdoor security, 13 VIVOTEK IP7151 with enclosures were placed by the entrance and on the perimeter of the plant. IP7151 gains the managers 24-hour control over activities outside the plant with the true day and night function. For any fast moving objects, its progressive scan CCD sensor is able to capture razor-sharp, clear images that traditional interlaced-scan techniques can not achieve.

The IP surveillance system dramatically improves Wintek's response capability to an emergence because the head office can constantly keep an eye on the activities inside and outside the Indian plant. "We are satisfied with the results of the IP surveillance system. Besides enhancing our management efficiency, it also helps us build a safer working environment for our employees" said Wintek executive vice president C.C. Hsu.
