When the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon decided to install campus-wide CCTV, they chose to design the system themselves using IndigoVision's IP Video technology. IST is Portugal's leading School of Engineering, Science & Technology and is part of the Technical University of Lisbon. Using their own engineering team in partnership with IndigoVision's Authorised Partner, Vigilarme, IST designed the entire 50 camera solution.
"It was important for the university to have a flexible and scalable system that could be easily expanded in the future," said Joao B. Ferreira, an engineer with Núcleo de Segurança Higiene e Saúde, the university department responsible for campus security. "Following a public tender the university chose IndigoVision's system as it provided by far the best price/performance and demonstrated excellent video quality, flexibility and data security. The distributed nature of the system made it easy for our own team to design a solution that could monitor the entire campus."
