ACTi helped the University of Costa Rica solve the CCTV surveillance distance problem
Costa Rica
ACTi's partner in Costa Rica, Sonivision S.A., solved the university's problem with a hybrid CCTV + IP system solution using ACTi's IP video surveillance products and the university's existing IP network infrastructure.
Sonivision S.A.'s solution consists of four pairs of ACTi's SED-2100R (MPEG-4 encoder) and SED-3200 (MPEG-4 decoder). One unit of SED-2100R was connected to each of the four analog speed domes and is receiving analog video from and sending RS-485 data to the analog speed dome. The analog videos from the analog speed domes were encoded into MPEG-4 video streams and sent across the university's IP network to the monitoring center. At the monitoring center, four SED-3200 receives the MPEG-4 video streams from the SED-2100R and decodes them back into analog videos.
The university's existing DVR and CCTV monitor then records and displays the decoded analog videos respectively. A PTZ control panel can also be connected to the SED-3200 to allow remote controlling of the Pan/Tilt/Zoom movements of the analog speed domes by sending RS-485 data across the IP network to the SED-2100R.
