Vitelsa modernizes the security system of the Teide Cable Car

The solution proposed by Vitelsa to optimize the security system of the Teide Cable Car revolves around Xtream's Broadview software. A tool that allows monitoring and management, from a single control center, of all video surveillance and recording solutions, both at the stations and the towers along the route.

The Teide Peak Cable Car is located in Teide National Park (Canary Islands) and is considered the highest in Spain, as it ascends from the base station located at the foot of the volcano up to La Rambleta located at 163 meters from the summit (its total height from 3.718 metros).

The public company Teide Peak Cable Car, responsible for its operation and maintenance, has launched a major project to renovate all of its facilities, including the modernization of security management, both at the stations and at the towers along the route, which is of great importance due to the frequent adverse weather conditions in the area that make monitoring difficult.

Vitelsa has been selected to carry out the design and implementation of the comprehensive facility security management system, decisive factors for its award being the company's experience in applying advanced security technologies.

The core of the proposed solution has been the Broadview software from Xtream, que facilita la gestión integral de procedimientos sobre los sistemas de seguridad: CCTV, access control, control perimetral, protección de incendios, intrusion, etc. Su ámbito de aplicación natural son los entornos de gran superficie o tráfico, ofreciendo un interfaz centralizado y global a los operadores con toda la información y alarmas procedentes de subsistemas de seguridad de diferentes fabricantes, lo que facilita la toma de decisiones a los responsables de seguridad.

La solución tecnológica propuesta por Vitelsa permite la monitorización y gestión, from a single control center, de todos los sistemas de videovigilancia y grabación de diversos fabricantes ya instalados, tanto en las estaciones de salida y llegada como en las torres del recorrido. Asimismo la solución integra tanto videocámaras IP como analógicas, making the most of the already installed equipment and facilitating its gradual modernization.

Broadview also manages the recording system to monitor the signal coming from the cameras along the route. The system allows operators, in view of an incident, to make the decision to monitor it, grabarla o documentarla para un posterior análisis, thus achieving greater operational efficiency. These signals are also transcoded to a low-quality format to facilitate their secure transmission over the client's extranet. In this way, secure remote monitoring of any of the cameras along the route is made possible if necessary.

La solución implementada permite asimismo la futura integración de las alarmas procedentes de otros dispositivos de seguridad y control de acceso, combinando la información en un interfaz único de operador.

Broadview es capaz de implementar protocolos automatizados de vigilancia y emergencias, pudiendo interpretar de forma inteligente las alarmas (o combinación de ellas) procedentes de diferentes subsistemas de seguridad. También ofrece varios módulos de gestión, lo cual la hace fácilmente escalable permitiendo adaptarla a las necesidades del usuario en cada momento e integrar nuevos dispositivos en un futuro, facilitando el mantenimiento y actualización de los sistemas.
