Leisure CCTV Upgrade Cardiff
This hotel had a mixture of analogue and IP CCTV, and it was now time to step away from analogue and increase the efficiency of this system. It also had some outdated PANASONIC network cameras, which were very limited in configuration and, therefore, draining the system's bandwidth and burning through the storage. Replacing these with HIKVISION network cameras allowed the team to utilise H265+ to increase the storage capacity by 50% without any HDD increase.
This project tested the team's specification knowledge as many cameras were being used. The Dual Directional Panovu camera increased the customer's coverage by 50% while utilising the single data cable in place and saving any costs on running more cables.
Project Description
With state-of-the-art technology from VERACITY HIGHWIRE, we were able to utilise an existing coax cable that was running to a lamppost in the centre of the car park and would be impossible to replace. From this one cable, we added a NETGEAR PoE switch with 3 additional cameras attached.
We just love this type of installation where some critical thinking is required, and more importantly, we can save our customers money while supplying them with more coverage! Less really can be more!
