Türk Telekom Group is Turkey's world-class, integrated telecommunication and technology services leader that offers its Turkish customers a complete range of fixed line, mobile, data, and internet services.
Türk Telekom, as well, is Turkeys only integrated telecommunications service provider that owns the nation's conglomerate of leading regional communication and technology companies. However, impressive as this is, with Turkey's various topographical challenges, the issue of successfully overcoming equally impressive logistical hurdles was paramount.
In this vein, Türk Telekom enlisted the services of security solution installer Kent Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş. to provide security for the 240 Türk Telekom rural wireless cellular sites throughout the country.
As earlier noted, these 240 sites were not solely located in metropolitan areas such as the nation's capital of Ankara or the commerce center that is Istanbul. Instead, many of these locations were scattered within scarcely populated and difficult-to-reach spots (including, but limited to, high in the mountains).
As many of these sites are unmanned, security for this infrastructure was a natural concern.
These centers, called "rural control rooms" serve to connect the cities to the mountains and vice-versa through cellular means. Additionally, with Turkey's propensity for earthquakes, cellular communication has taken on a higher national priority. In fact, most communication from rural mountain areas to major metropolitan centers is now primarily achieved through cellular means.
Since the dynamics of this project were based on cellular technology, "the decision was made to use a hybrid solution for this particular large-scale project," noted Erdoğan Tekin, Technical Manager at Kent Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş.
After careful analysis of the specific demands this solution required, Mr. Tekin chose a combination of following Hikvision products.
The first is DS-9016HFI-S Embedded Hybrid DVR. The reality that Türk Telekom is a very large, long-standing company denoted that there are both analog and IP cameras in various capacities throughout Turkey. Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş. knew the DS-9016HFI-S worked exceedingly well with both types.
The second Hikvision tool is the DS-2CC1182P-A 600 TVL Box Camera. Mr. Tekin explained, "The DS-2CC1182P-A's durability was very, very important for this project. Due to the fact that many of these sites were in the mountains, this presented a dual problem. The first was the weather environment - it has massive shifts in extreme climate, including heat, wind, and bitter cold. The second was the inaccessibility of these sites. If a camera broke down, there really is not a realistic way to get a repair technician up there. Due to both concerns, the DS-2CC1182P-A's IP66 rating and Hikvision's reputation for quality and durability were extremely important."
The TV0309D-IR Lens was the third piece to this solution. Interestingly, before Kent Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş. chose this model, the company tested many other brands. After this testing, they found that no other brand offered the same high results: namely the nighttime LED performance was nowhere near as clear, and the TV0309D-IR resulted in much sharper IR images.
Additionally, as with the DS-2CC1182P-A 600 TVL Box Camera, since both are located in rural mountain-top areas, the quality of these DVRs is vital to ensure that the necessary images are sent to security personnel in Ankara, and their Ankara-based PCs to monitor these stations. The same requirement holds true with the DS-9016HFI-S's large 8 HDD memory. "In wintertime, it is virtually impossible to arrive at these sites, regardless of circumstance," added Mr. Tekin.
The final piece of this solution puzzle is iVMS-4200 Client Software. This software allows the connection of all Hikvision hardware. In this Turkish case, all 240 sites - and their Hikvision hardware - are connected through managers' PCs. Mr Tekin elaborated, "Every major city in Turkey is using this client software. In this fashion, Ankara is connected to each of these cities and to each of these 240 rural sites through this convenient software program."
Through this combination of Hikvision technology and versatility, even Turkey's formable mountains proved little match. And through this combination, the Türk Telekom Group's rural sites are secure.

Hikvision’s position in the surveillance industry market is clear - it is the world’s leading supplier of video surveillance solutions. Up until last year, the company’s presence in Europe has been mainly using traditional distributor channels. This is now changing, with the company’s non-CCTV portfolio growing to include products to enhance security in other ways – from access control to intrusion detection.
Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, announces its new Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) solution, which offers vehicle recognition technology embedded into cameras. This gives users the ability to detect and recognise vehicles from their licence plates, capturing a range of information, including country registered, related image and speed information (with radar). This has a multitude of applications, including road traffic management and Entry/Exit management.
Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, has launched an innovative IP
Video Door Phone System solution in the next stage of its mission to offer a complete security solution to residents and businesses.
Especially designed for security surveillance and control centre environments, Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, has launched a new range of professional LED-backlit TFT LCD monitors.
Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, releases its explosion-proof Thermal Network Bullet camera, which is equipped with explosion-proof ‘inox’ enclosure made of stainless steel, protecting it against corrosion. It adopts a vanadium oxide uncooled focal place sensor the enhance image quality.
Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of video surveillance products and solutions, and SGS, the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, announced they have signed a memorandum agreement for joint laboratory collaboration. The memorandum will pave the way for joint efforts in testing, inspection, verification and certification of Hikvision products. It will also see the two companies cooperating strategically in various areas, including: mutual technology exchange, training, information sharing and platform establishment.
Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative
video surveillance products and solutions, supplied digital video
monitoring technology solutions to the Museum for East Asian Art in
Cologne – thus paving the way for entry into the age of HD-TVI. The
museum previously had analogue cameras and an analogue recorder in
place. The image quality of the recordings was poor and rewinding and
fast-forwarding recordings turned out to be complicated. The museum was
looking for a more modern and flexible solution to circumvent these
difficulties. So a hybrid digital video recorder and a new hard disk
drive from Hikvision were installed, providing the museum with a more
cutting-edge video monitoring solution.
The science of infra-red detecting has many
applications, not least in the security industry. Where regular cameras
cannot see – for instance in very low light, fog or other bad weather
conditions or smoke-filled areas – thermal technology can provide a
clear image. Combined with regular lenses and smart functions, like
intrusion detection, this technology provides an invaluable addition to
security solutions.
Hikvision is always pushing the boundaries of technology, innovating to meet ever-increasing needs of the security community.
The
products lead the market in three ways. They create better images due
to an independent research and development module on the cameras
themselves. They include better smart functions giving smart analysis
functionalities. Finally, they are suitable for better applications,
including temperature exception and fire detection.

the number of visitors with only one lens.
The
dual lens enables the camera to create a three-dimensional image of
each object. The innovation mainly lies in the camera’s capability to
map the height of a person on the Z-axis, thus excluding any confusion
with, for example, shadows or objects, such as baby carriages.
