Background
This application is related to the video surveillance of a palace museum of Art located in the city of Cremona. There are three floors inside the palace: On the first floor located the headquarters of the Stradivari Foundation, companied by a room for the 'instruments exhibition”, the ticket office, a cafeteria and a bookstore. The second floor is occupied by a library, a conference room used for the hearings of the violins and another pavilion. The most interesting part will focus at the top floor- an auditorium with 500 seats, made from a gym that it is also used as a recording studio.
Solution
ACTi’s partner Bettini S.r.l provided a surveillance system consisting of 31 IP cameras deployed inside the building. The model name is ACM-1511, with 1.3 Megapixel resolution, vari-focal lens and built in IR LED illuminators, for video surveillance even in the absence of light. In addition there are 6 speed domes CAM-6610P, with 18 times optical zoom and 32 preset points to be set up. The speed domes are dedicated to the surveillance of external common parts such as parking lot. The cameras are centralized in a control room through a data network (LAN). In the control room the operators can see the live pictures, control the system and record the video streaming on NVR.
Benefit
The surveillance system used in this museum is another proof that IP technologies are perfectly suited to any application context. Thanks to the megapixel resolution performance of the selected cameras, ACTi provided the end user the picture details three times higher than the traditional analog cameras.
