The city of Chomutov, in the Czech Republic, has chosen a new surveillance system based on IndigoVision's IP video technology to replace its analogue CCTV system, that had become outdated, for it dated from the 1990s. 1990.

blankChomutov, A city of 50.000 inhabitants located in the north of the Czech Republic, has implemented a distributed surveillance system for large areas based on the IP video technology of IndigoVision as part of its strategy to reduce crime and control traffic flow. MKDS Besy, IndigoVision's local partner, has installed 32 Analog PTZ cameras, of which two are mobile, to generate a greater number of surveillance options, connected by 32 IndigoVision encoders 9000. Two NVR-AS network video recorders for Windows have also been installed: one is in operation and the other serves a backup function.

The system includes 4TB of storage capacity, with fail-safe resistance provided by the RAID5 system. With integration in mind, Three Control Center facilities linked to the city's police crisis management software were established. Control Center is the user interface for IndigoVision's SMS4 Security Management Solution. IndigoVision's Low Bandwidth Requirements and Image Quality, along with the distributed architecture that does not require a central server and the ease of backing up network video recorders (Nvr), were key factors in selecting a solution for the city.

David Žažo, security technician of the Chomutov police, Said: "The new system has transformed the city's policing tasks; It is reliable and completely stable, And its growth potential is limitless thanks to its distributed architecture. Police Can Make Better and Faster Decisions, thanks to the fact that it now has excellent image quality".

Both mobile cameras use the activity-driven Frame Rate Per Second feature (Acf) so bandwidth requirements are kept low over your Wi-Fi connections. This feature controls the frame rate of the camera's video stream based on the amount of movement in the scene. When there's no activity, Video is streamed at a minimum frame rate; But as soon as motion is detected, Transmits simultaneously at the maximum rate configured to maximize data capture. This significantly reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements for cameras that monitor scenes that are generally static or during off-peak periods, Like at night, which shows that this is a technology with a true immediate response.
