Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd., the supplier of digital video surveillance equipment, announces that its surveillance work at the Shanghai World Expo 2011 has been short-listed in the โSecurity Project or Installation of the Yearโ category by the IFSEC 2011 Security Industry Awards.
Six projects are nominated. Hikvisionโs entry is notable for its scale. Over 7,000 Hikvision HD-fixed and PTZ cameras have been used to monitor Shanghaiโs Pudong District, the setting for World Expo 2010 – which attracted 100 million visitors. This project represents one of the worldโs largest deployments of a high-definition video system.
A specific challenge at the World Expo 2010 was for these cameras to give users the ability to track and zoom-in on individuals or vehicles, so that facial details and license plates could be observed. In response, Hikvision supplied HD cameras that met these requirements: delivering video with resolution of up to 1600×1200 pixels in real time. In addition, confronted on the ground with demands for image clarity, Hikvision used HD-SDI interface in preference to the regular CVBS approach, combined with optic fiber to ensure minimal delay.
โSince our Beijing Olympics project two years ago, this is the second time we have been short-listed for this IFSEC award. Along with these prestigious applications, our high performance products are currently being used โ in a variety of applications – in more than 100 countries around the world,โ said Yangzhong Hu, president of Hikvision. โThis nomination will again serve as motivation for Hikvision to continue our progress in product development and technological innovation. Our goal continues to be one that caters to usersโ need, and to continually provide high quality products and solutions to the video surveillance industry.โ For more information – visit Hikvisionโs website at –
