Dahua brings AI perimeter security to Ireland's largest solar plant

A total of 54 mini hybrid bullet cameras Dahua have been installed around the perimeter of this enclosure 202 hectares. These video surveillance devices combine thermal imaging technology with a CMOS sensor of 4 MP.

Located in a rural area of ​​County Meath, this great solar park, considered the largest in Ireland, operates automatically, usually without human intervention except one or two maintenance visits a month, given that is monitored remotely.

To improve your perimeter security, Those responsible were looking for a reliable detection system, con configurable cameras to activate alerts when detecting an intrusion, resistant to false alarms and capable of long-distance detection and monitoring.

The Dahua hybrid camera technology has been the chosen solution, with a total of 54 bullet devices with thermal technology, installed by local company CU Group around the perimeter of the enclosure.

These hybrid cameras combine thermal imaging technology with a progressive scan CMOS sensor 4 MP for day and night surveillance. Users can switch between visible light images and thermal images, and there is also the option to switch to merged images, that combine visible light with thermal light.

Dahua video surveillance devices installed include heat detection and temperature measurement; intelligent video analysis, as line crossing detection, classification of people, vehicles and smoke detection, as well as third-party integration options. Thermal sensor reduces false alarms caused by animals and objects, like moving leaves or branches.

For the project, a Ultra NVR 128 canales, equipped with eight hard drives, to store and manage video recordings. The system, with remote operation, manages AI functions of cameras, as perimeter protection, facial recognition and automatic license plate recognition (ANPR); 3D behavioral analysis and integrates with other security systems.

The installation is completed with the DSS security management system Dahua high performance, designed for large scale applications, that optimizes hardware performance and provides centralized video monitoring, access control and other security features.
