MediaCom, the media agency, has had installed full-HD surveillance. Part of Group M, itself part of advertising giant WPP, MediaCom plans and buys media for global brands from its UK head offices in Holborn central London. MediaCom sought to upgrade its analogue video surveillance system, and looked to an IP networked high definition (HD) solution.
Before making a decision on the precise specification, the company wanted quality images with clarity and alarm notifications. The product would need to run on a dedicated network, owned by Group M and be managed by the in-house security and IT department. The security firm Safe Tech UK recommended the DirectIP product, from the manufacturer IDIS. Based on an IP framework, the system includes 73 tamper-proof IP cameras, three 32-channel network video recorders (NVRs), cabling, network equipment and cost-free video management software (VMS), IDIS Center. The mix of dome and bullet cameras come with day and night vision capabilities, the product manufacturers say.
DirectIP gave Safe Tech UK an auto-configured and pre-engineered solution that enabled its engineers to install the system. Intuitive IDIS Center software let MediaCom staff control the IP cameras, set notifications and manage the network. The DirectIP NVRs allow simultaneous functionality and operation of multiple video streams, viewable on split screens, including live-view, record, playback, remote access, rapid retrieval and backup.
