The MPSJ administrates the city of Subang Jaya, which has a population of 4.7 million and is located in the state of Selangor on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

The 100 camera system is the first large scale deployment of centrally monitored CCTV cameras by a local municipal council in Malaysia. Video from 90 PTZ and fixed cameras, as well as 10 mobile units, is streamed back to MPSJ’s purpose-built command centre, where the council’s enforcement officers can observe in real-time traffic congestion, criminal activity and public safety. At the heart of the command centre is a large wall-mounted graphical information system (GIS) display that allows users to zoom in on individual residential and commercial addresses. Through an interface with the Indigovision system, video can be overlaid on the GIS display to help improve situational awareness. Individual operators use multi-monitor PC workstations running Indigovision’s Control Center software, which provides a powerful suite of features to view and quickly analyse live and recorded video.

Indigovision’s compression technology allows high quality video to be transmitted over an area in excess of 160km² using Motorola’s Wireless Broadband Point-to-Multipoint 100 Series system. The 10 mobile camera units can be temporarily installed at local hot-spots and be quickly operational using a wireless link. The command centre is also connected via dedicated wireless links to the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam and the Subang Jaya police district headquarters at Seri Kembangan. This allows live and recorded video from any camera to be viewed and analysed by the police using their own Control Center workstations. This helps improve overall incident response without the need for police officers to be stationed in the command centre.
