The company’s Vision 2000 plug-n-play real time fibre optic transmission system will be used to send data between a number of cameras at the GB pound 41 million, category B prison.
Expected to house 140 inmates, the new site replaces the island’s existing prison – dating back to 1891 – and will be protected by a wide range of security measures. ADT Fire and Security, which is in charge of the entire integrated project, will be installing these. Features include an access control system, perimeter surveillance technology and public address systems.
Dr. Alan Hayes, founder and MD of AMG Systems, said he was delighted his company was chosen to supply the transmission system.
“This is an important project for AMG to win and I’m pleased that our experience with fibre optic transmission systems also provided us with the opportunity to install, terminate and test the fibre cable itself.”
Signals from a mix of fixed and PTZ cameras at the prison will be routed to a central control and localised monitors, and will be stored on DVRs.
Project manager at ADT, Peter Topples, said, “The simplicity of AMG’s transmission system, including the data interfaces, makes it is very easy to work with in terms of integration and it’s very high quality”.
