Even faces of employees can be monitored with Speed Dome cameras that were installed with a zoom function capable of zooming in on faces at Inotal Aluminum Processing Plant, Hungary. The primary function of the system is to prevent crimes and workplace accidents. The system, built on a gigabit backbone, comprises Intellio Basic cameras equipped with a 23X optical zoom, motion detection and sabotage protection.

The buildings of the Inotal Processing Plant are watched around the clock by 360-degree cameras and Intellio Basic IP cameras with onboard intelligence. The primary function of the system is to prevent crimes and workplace accidents. The installed system offers several new capabilities compared to the previous analog system. IP technology itself offers a plethora of new possibilities not available with the traditional solutions. ’Megapixel resolutions, quick trackback of the recorded footage, and the use of intelligent detectors came of age with the spread of IP technology,’ says János Kópházi, CEO of Intellio.

The interior of buildings can be watched from the outside

The system was developed in cooperation with the security personnel at Inota, who guided the placement of the cameras in the places with the highest security risks. One of the Speed Dome cameras was placed on the highest point of a 15 meter tall building to be able to span an exceptionally broad field of view. The megapixel Intellio Basic and Speed Dome cameras were all placed outdoors. 23X optical zoom of the day-night Speed Dome cameras allow the operators to peek into windows and through open doors within the field of vision of the camera.

Basic, but intelligent

Intellio Basic cameras are the entry level cameras manufactured by the company, but contrary to the name, they are also equipped with the essential intelligent functions, such as the sabotage protection system and the motion detector. The sabotage protection system sends an alert to the headquarters in case the camera is tilted, covered or the connection is lost. In addition, the recorded footage of the alerts can be tracked back in seconds, allowing for instant response. The system is comprised mostly of Speed Dome cameras (with tilt and pan capability) and a dozen mounted Intellio Basic Network cameras.

Up to 800 cameras can be connected
