1. Case Brief
The client needed a surveillance solution to ensure the safety of a multi-story building. Floors
2 to 4 are offices, the first floor is a retail store, and the basement included a retail store and
an employee parking lot.
24 GV-BX1200 Box Cameras were installed on each floor to make sure that all areas are
covered. In addition, 2 GV-FE521 Fisheye Cameras and 4 GV-SD220 IP Speed Domes with
PTZ capabilities were installed on the ground floor to monitor the entrances of the retail store.
In the basement floor, the underground parking lot is secured by 2 GV-Hybrid LPR Cameras
designed to clearly capture vehicle license plates.
In the basement, a security control room was set up to house a 20-bay GV-Hot Swap
Recording Server System, which receives and records all 128 IP channels installed in the
building, and can transmit videos to the GV-Control Center.
The security staff can then use the Matrix View of GV-Control Center to simultaneously watch
live view of the 128 GV-IP Cameras. Multiple monitors were installed to simultaneously watch
the 128 channel live view and one monitor was set up for applications such as E-Map and
Remote ViewLog.
Also located in the security room is a GV-Hot Swap LPR system (GV-ASManager and
GV-DVR LPR) capable of recognizing the vehicle license plates detected in the video from the
two GV-Hybrid LPR Cameras. Access can be granted when the detected license plate
numbers match the vehicles registered in GV-ASManager's employee database.
