Founded in 1453, Istanbul University sees tens of thousands of students, faculty, staff and visitors pass through its campuses daily. Its satellite institution, Istanbul University, Cerrahpasa, was formed in 2018 and has eight campuses.

Cathexis secures the campuses of both institutions through a sizable number of cameras, all monitored via remote site connections. The installation totals 2475 cameras, using nine different brands of both fixed and PTZ optical cameras.

Remote monitoring is carried out at two central control rooms, with a NAS storage array. The failover system ensures system stability. Other features include alarm management and access rights management, as well as the use of site maps.

In CathexisVision, the university has a powerful video management solution that protects its people and assets, catering to the particular needs of this historic site.
