Protecting and safeguarding citizens
is an increasing issue for towns and cities. Many
communities round the world are already using modern
CCTV/IP solutions from Dallmeier. Their requirements
are varied but are always aimed at achieving an
extensive, tailor-made all-round solution to meet the
highest quality and security requirements. Besides
excellent picture quality and easy operation, the
number one demand is for compatible and flexible
system architecture to enable easy integration into
existing security management systems.
Situation
Deterring crime and
vandalism as well as protecting against terrorism are
the catch words which are becoming more and more
important for town and community leaders. For
monitoring public places analogue systems are
increasingly being replaced by digital ones. This is
in order to make the monitoring and evaluation of
events and the necessary responses more reliable,
faster and more efficient.
Digital
Matrix
Dallmeier’s product range
includes the latest solutions for almost every
requirement in the field of CCTV monitoring. To ensure
maximum security individual solutions are produced
using the Digital Matrix with multiple Intelligent
Video Analysis Systems (e.g. NPR, object recognition,
etc.). Dallmeier’s Digital Matrix enables the
transmission and recording of video and audio signals
in broadcast quality via an Ethernet/IP network. Using
this technology in DIS units an unlimited number of
cameras can monitor public places with their pictures
recorded and if necessary sent via IP network. Owing
to the MPEG-2/MPEG-4 compression used, the camera
pictures are transmitted in real time, top quality and
full picture rate. The system architecture also allows
an easy control of PTZ cameras.
Pictures are recorded in a ring
memory which is automatically over-written after a
defined period (e.g. 14 days). Event analysis is very
quick and efficient because of the use of
customer-specific user interfaces, which are
complemented with the most appropriate operating
devices such as keyboards (e.g. PTZ control) or
jog-shuttles (e.g. replay control).
Intelligent Video Analysis Systems
support the monitoring tasks in various fields. These
can classify objects and respond appropriately,
triggering events when necessary (e.g. switching
cameras, raising the alarm). With the help of NPR
vehicles can be identified and the appropriate data be
further processed (e.g. entry/exit authorisation in
car parks).
Integration in higher level management systems
The pictures are analysed in specially
equipped security and control rooms. How alarms are
dealt with is carefully regulated between the control
centre and the police to ensure that they are handled
punctually and in a coordinated way. This requires
flexible system design, so that the system can be
expanded at any time and so that it is possible to add
further alarm systems or integrate it into a higher
level management system.
Hybrid
solutions also possible
Thanks to
Dallmeier’s flexible system architecture, any existing
analogue system can be replaced by digital on a step
by step basis. This kind of hybrid solution enables
the digital upgrading project to be carried out in
several stages as determined by need and budget.
Positive resonance
Dallmeier
systems have already proved themselves in many cities
where the number of recorded offences in the monitored
areas has been reduced significantly
