The IP-CCTV system was designed and installed by IndigoVision's local partner Multielectron SA de CV and consists of both PTZ dome and fixed cameras covering the exterior of the plant as well the general manufacturing areas inside.

"Following analysis of similar IP Video systems we chose IndigoVision's solution because of its superior performance and video quality," explains Arturo Gutiérrez, Faurecia's HSE coordinator. "To provide the local authorities and police with high-quality evidential video exported from the system following an incident was another important requirement."

CCTV monitoring workstations running 'Control Center', IndigoVision's IP Video and alarm management software, are used throughout the plant to view live and recorded video from the cameras. The distributed nature of IndigoVision's IP Video system means that any system component (camera, workstation, etc) can be located anywhere on the network. The system is thus very scalable, allowing additional cameras or workstations to be easily and cost-effectively added in the future, unlike traditional analogue CCTV systems. 'Control Center' is also license-free enabling workstations to be deployed for no more than a cost of an entry-level PC. This flexibility has allowed Faurecia to install CCTV workstations not only for the security team in the main control room but also for the plant manager, HR department and the maintenance team.

The video is recorded continuously at 4SIF, 30fs for 15 days using an IndigoVision Windows Network Video Recorder (NVR) server with 1.5TB of storage and NAS backup, all located in the control room. With the correct access permissions any 'Control Center' workstation in the plant can view and analyze recorded video from the NVR.
