In order to meet these requirements, there are more than 60 IP security cameras implemented and controlled from the central management room to provide 24x7 basis monitoring via a fibre backbone network.

After the 9/11 attacks in NY, global society was alerted and threatened by terrorism, including Europe. For preventing any security breaches in monitoring a large and wide area of seaport, the region needed the most powerful and scalable system to manage busy shipping and transit traffic, security of goods, and people safety.

In such situations the capability of searching for details in live video becomes crucial, and this can only be achieved through a megapixel system. As a result it was considered that an IP-based surveillance system from GVD was the exact solution for this project.

As Karim Cassar, Tenders & Technical Research Executive at Alberta, said: “I selected GVD products over competitive products for its good response and support. And the system is working very well to date”.

GVD provided a total solution, and cooperates with an established system installer, Alberta, to provide the best performance of megapixel surveillance. Monitoring under the GVD NVR M600 series, server class rack mount, the real time video can be seamlessly sent to the control centrejust by one click, in combination with the alarm pop-up feature, so that any critical scene will not be missing.

Utilising the GVD Time Sector Engine’s intelligent search and flexible video streaming capability to optimise both bandwidth and storage, allowing resolutions from 4 CIF to 2 mega pixel for fixed and PTZ cameras, not only delivers live, recorded and playback
video, but also the high demand for remote access anytime from anywhere.

From GVD E100/E200 series, surveillance staff are able to construct a real-time CCTV wall easily and to monitor all day long, 24x7, due to its high resolution for better viewing, high frame rate for later investigation, and capability of decoding large data for long term operation etc.
