A case study of how Milan Cathedral had an ageing analogue CCTV system upgraded with IP, while also using their existing infrastructure.
They installed three exacqVision LC-Series hybrid network video recorders (NVRs). The hybrid NVRs allowed the cathedral to connect their analogue cameras and use the current infrastructure while adding new IP cameras. The system meant that the cathedral could select from thousands of IP camera models that work with the exacqVision system. SIQR, an Italian local distributor, installed new SIQR Sentry two megapixel IP cameras. These IP cameras cover more space, so they can see a greater area and detail with one camera.
Cathedral security can zoom in and move around the image to see greater detail. After seeing the results of the new cameras, the cathedral decided to add more. These cameras were placed around the perimeter and inside the site to monitor the most traffiked areas and valuable art pieces.
Each exacqVision server came with video management system (VMS) software. A manager can use a timeline search to identify the visual change and exact time in the video that he needs for the evidence. Staff report that they are now able to respond to situations faster and provide local police with video evidence. Visit exacqVision.com.
