Surveon NVR upgrades Kainan University Security

Megapixel solutions are a key trend in video surveillance. However, high I/O, huge capacity, and stability of the overall solution tend to be challenges for SIs.

Surveon's NVR2000 series is the only NVR on the market that has a built-in H/W RAID controller.

The simple and reliable megapixel solutions made possible by its excellent performance, 50TB capacity and lineup of enterprise megapixel cameras allowed Sunshine Information Co. to handle the Kainan University project quickly and make it a success for all parties involved.

Customer
Kainan University, founded in 2000, is the leading comprehensive college located in Taoyuan, Taiwan. It occupies an open area of nearly 17 hectares, and has 2500 students, 25 departments, 16 graduate schools and four master programs.

Challenges
In the campus area of Kainan, the number of security guards was limited, and there were many places that were not being monitored. Traditional DVR solutions were no longer able to meet its surveillance needs, and Kainan University started looking for an advanced security system to tighten up campus security. As megapixel cameras offer up to four to six times the image quality provided by analog cameras, the school hoped to deploy complete megapixel surveillance solutions for the campus.

Megapixel solutions offer significant benefits for surveillance operations. However, the large number of megapixel cameras (up to 90) and the need for 60-day recordings presented many different issues for the SI, Sunshine Information Co, including the I/O performance of traditional NVR, stable integration of storage solutions and proven solutions that can assure end-to-end integration. To successfully deal with all these issues, Sunshine adopted Surveon's eminent end-to-end megapixel solution, including cameras, real-time VI engine, RAID NVR and enterprise VMS solutions.

"At the beginning, we had lots of concerns about the proprietor's needs for megapixel solutions. But by using Surveon's complete megapixel solutions, we were able to bring this project within budget, and provide the customer with extra functionality and extremely reliable RAID NVR without affecting our profits", said Jeff Lu, the product manager of Sunshine.

Solutions
88 Surveon cameras, including 70 CAM4260 outdoor IP fixed domes, 10 CAM2201 IP box cameras and 8 CAM6180 outdoor speed domes have been installed for strategic monitoring of classrooms and hallways, as well as building entrances, pedestrian areas and campus grounds.
