Description
The safety of people and facilities, integrated in
Exploration Systems, is perceived as an essential requirement to fulfil. In this context,
a Videosurveillance System, supported in the integrated management platform of other
applications (Transmission, Public Information...), allows to offer a high added value
service.
The videosurveillance solutions developed and installed by the ENT are designed to meet
the desired needs, in terms of easiness of use, quality, availability, and features
available.
Applications
ENT's videosurveillance solutions can be applied in
different scenarios:
Locations that are prone to vandalism
acts against people, buildings or equipment's;
Locations which require special security
measures;
Locations with difficult access;
Isolated premises, far from main offices.
Examples:
- highway, tunnels - traffic condition, occurrence of
accidents, verification of atmospheric conditions, etc.;
- Industrial installations (electric substations, water
handling stations, etc.) - surveillance equipment (breakers, valves, etc.), remote visual
monitoring of works, remote damage identification, etc.;
- Places with great affluence of public (subways, railways,
terminals, and stadiums) - monitoring of passengers, robberies or acts of vandalism
prevention and intruders identification.
Funcionalities
The videosurveillance systems must allow:
- Remote control of the equipment, from one, or several, CCTV
Supervision Platforms;
- Use and integration of diverse types of cameras and sensors,
adjusted to each type of situation;
- Simultaneous picture visualisation, allowing different
selections, with response times adequate to each situation;
- Picture quality according to the desired purpose;
- Control and recording features;
- Alarm gathering and processing;
- Picture recording and printing, identified manual or
automatically;
- Interconnection with other systems - ex. public information
systems - to act as dissuasion tool;
- Integration with other management platforms, allowing the
optimisation of material and human resources.
Technical Specifications
The ENT's videosurveillance solutions,
which have registered great national and international success in recent years, can be
divided in two groups:
a) Integrated solutions in existent transmission systems
Integrally digital solution, featuring all necessary hardware
and software for the acquisition, transmission, visualisation, control and archive of
images. The solution allows the control of cameras, with zoom, pan & tilt, making
possible the visualisation of multiple pictures and its automatic recording. In this case,
the system can be integrated with the telecommunications network management application.
ENT is migrating all of the software technology to IP, being compatible with any switching
and transmission technologies such as PDH, SDH or ATM.
The main advantages of this solution are:
Optimisation of the available digital
transmission infrastructure;
Utilisation of security methods used in
the transmission network;
Easily expandable system.
b) Solutions supported in an autonomous
transmission infrastructure
The same videosurveillance system, with the
same features and applications, could be implemented using an independent infrastructure,
solely dedicated to this system.
In this situation, the transmission of video and control signals, could be done analogue
or digitally, using different supports - optic fibre, coaxial cable, radio, etc..
This solution is used where the
videosurveillance system assumes a critical importance, presenting the following
advantages:
