Background
TVH LUMBINI SQUARE, Chennai is spread over one million square feet and containing nine, nineteen storied blocks and around 500 residential units. It is one of the premium residential location which boasts of all comforts, luxuries and aesthetic appeal per the latest trends in luxury housing. The residency, despite having good physical surveillance, lacked not so effective video surveillance system commensurate with other luxuries.
The society had only 30 Analog cameras to monitor for safety and protection of people. Out of these 30, only 16 were functional!
Threat Perceptions
Unlike any usual residential society, the threat perception was real and grave as the locality housed rich people including many HNIs. Apart from usual incidences of burglaries, road accidents and loitering, the potential for kidnappings, harassments was significant. The safety of the kids playing in the area needed high-definition surveillance.
Limitations of previous system
The previous system relied on video surveillance with 30 Analog cameras with video quality of low resolution, which was just capable of capturing the movements, but the picture quality was very poor, which in itself considered being out-dated.
The infrastructure was made up of armoured cables (RJ6 and Power cable in a single medium) and coaxial cables which were prone to damage and were costly to maintain and repair. Besides, cables deprived of cost cuts benefits to the installers project.
Expectations from the new system
Fed up with long experience of security breaches and escaping of culprits, authorities felt the strong need of effective surveillance cameras’ presence to secure entire area with face recognition and identification. The other features they looked forward to:
• Clarity vision of HD for easy recognition
• Functional surveillance cameras 24X7 availability
• Night vision CCTV cameras
• Centralized control room
• Cost effective and offered value for money.
• High efficiency of the system
• No extra cost of cabling
• Warranty and services
