Bandeirantes Deicmar installs Axis cameras to ensure its operations

The installation of 550 cameras, mostly bullet Q17 model, of Axis Communications, allow this Brazilian port logistics company to monitor 24/7 its three terminals and comply with safety regulations.

Headquartered in São Paulo, Bandeirantes Deicmar It is a reference in port logistics, which operates three terminals in the Port of Santos, the largest in Brazil in cargo and container operations.

The company has recently replaced its old video surveillance cameras with more modern and efficient equipment to comply with the Coana norm nº 80, which requires in this country that the terminals have monitoring 24/7, with image quality of 4 MP for container areas and delivery time storage of 180 days.

To comply with these regulations, It was necessary to combine maximum performance with the best optimization of the available infrastructure so as not to overload the network or add unnecessary costs, as explains Fernando Protazio Alves, IT infrastructure coordinator for Bandeirantes Deicmar.

Installed by ConsulData, partner of Axis Communications, have been integrated 550 cameras from this security manufacturer, distributed among the three logistics terminals, mostly from Q17 bullet type model, with resolution of 4 megapixels and zoom de 32x for long distance monitoring.

Improved with Zipstream technology, These Axis cameras provide compression capabilities that preserve all important forensic details, while reducing bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50% or more, according to company data.

“The Federal Treasury has complete access to the 24 hours of the day to all operational cameras, with the exception of administrative. According to the standard, we must have the images available during 90 days online and others 90 offline. However, we get the recordings online for 180 days, so that the authorities can monitor all access control zones, packing and unloading areas”, Protazio emphasizes.

For this comprehensive monitoring, Bandeirantes Deicmar opted for IP cameras with rotation, tilt and zoom (PTZ) to monitor in detail each stage of loading and unloading of containers, which guarantees a accurate tracking of logistics operations in real time.

“We performed a cost-benefit analysis comparing storage, the price of the equipment and the necessary network infrastructure - adds Protazio -. For comparative purposes, we invest a 16% more compared to the competitor and we achieved a reduction in 48% in storage consumption”.

Bandeirantes Deicmar has gone further by integrating cameras into the container inspection process. In this sense, the use of the Axis Q17 models stands out, that have allowed the company automate the loading and unloading inspection process of containers, complying with Brazilian regulations such as Coana 132.

Besides, he warehouse area and perimeter have been integrated into the monitoring area, incorporating advanced Axis features to ensure visibility and color image capture, even in difficult complex lighting conditions, con su Lightfinder technology.
