Challenge
Yangsan is a large city with a population of about
300,000 people and an area of 484.5 km². Earlier attempts to introduce an urban
security system faced a number of issues, such as:
Video interference.
Video server crashing after adding several
cameras at once.
Problems when trying to connect third-party
systems.
Usability of the search interface in the video
footage archive.
Difficulty providing support for new
high-resolution video cameras.
Operating the growing number of servers and
cameras.
Yangsan's administrators decided to revamp the
security system. Having learnt from past experience, the client put forward a
number of criteria that the new system must meet:
A central control hub.
Integration with urban emergency services and
other systems.
Long-term storage of recorded video footage.
Superior video server
performance.
Support for high-resolution cameras.
Reliability and continuous video recording.
A user-friendly interface for the system operator.
Dramatic cut in the number of servers (smaller
footprint and lower power consumption).
Solution
To meet this challenge, GBU DataLinks offered a
customized solution based on the Axxon Next VMS, the video surveillance system
of the next generation.
Axxon Next provides unique analytic tools for the
large amounts of data that are generated every day by Safe City scale projects:
Forensic Search to quickly find events based on certain
criteria;
TimeCompressor to quickly view the archive without using
accelerated playback;
Face
Search for facial recognition;
ANPR for
license plate recognition;
and many more.
It is these video analysis tools that allow the
accumulated data to work for the benefit of the city and the security of city
residents.
Deployment
Over 2500
video cameras from Arecont Vision, Samsung, Hikvision, Cellings, Flexwatch,
Probe Digital, and others were installed in 900-odd locations around the city.
Live video feeds go to the central monitoring station via fiber optic lines.
Footage is continuously recorded and stored on local disks for 30 days. Inside
the control room, 15 client computers and 13 video servers were installed to
provide round-the-clock monitoring.
The video
surveillance system uses the Axxon Next Professional license. One of the client
computers is running the additional Axxon Next Universe license that includes
the Offline Analytics option. All videos from the previous
video surveillance system were imported and indexed for fast intelligent
search.
Results
Using the
Axxon Next VMS met all client needs and opened up new possibilities:
Now that GreenStream and Intel® Quick Sync Video dramatically
reduce the load on the video server, glitches in live and recorded video
playback are a thing of the past.
Due to high performance and optimization of
resources, Axxon Next servers take up to 200 cameras each, whereas the
previous solution was limited to 70 cameras. The significant reduction in
hardware results in a much lower capital investment and total cost of
ownership.
Axxon Next SDK ensures smooth integrations with
other security systems such as video encryption and export systems, alarm
systems, integrated control post and many others.
Security personnel quickly mastered all their
monitoring and investigation tasks thanks to the ergonomic Axxon Next GUI.
Unlike the previous system and other similar
offers on the security market, Axxon Next surpassed client expectations
and excelled in competitive benchmarking, even in tough scenarios with
high network congestion and offline storage.
"To
date, Yangsan Safe City has been an all-out success. GBU DataLinks specialists
provide technical support and staff training. AxxonSoft help desk is always
online to help quickly resolve any issues,"

Intellect PSIM including the Auto Intellect and ACFA Intellect systems has been
installed in Serengeti Golf & Wildlife Estate. The Estate is a 10-minute
drive from OR Tambo International Airport (ORT).
An early
fire notification system based on intelligent video technology successfully
passed comprehensive testing in Miloshevichi forestry station (Lelchits
district, Gomel region, Belarus). Based on the Axxon Intellect PSIM platform
with smoke detectors powered by deep learning, the sample system includes three
PTZ video/thermal combos located on 35 meter-high lookout towers. The customer,
Belgosles state enterprise, is completely satisfied with the test results.
From June
14 to July 15, 2018, the final part of the 21st FIFA World Cup took place in
Russia. For the first time in Russian history, Russia became the World Cup's
host nation and made tremendous efforts to put on a great tournament in every
aspect, including event security.
