Ski Dubai was very specific about the long and short-term objectives for this installation. It wanted to invest with a vendor that could offer a cost-effective solution with improved functionality and the capacity to allow for future integration with third-party systems such as access control, fire detection and point-of-Sale.

The customer required central recording via multiple servers, including failover servers, monitoring by central control room with operator management and multiple server video wall, with 279 IP cameras. This installation also required integration with specific brands of cameras that would be able to operate reliably in an extremely cold environment.

In keeping with the client’s requirements, Cathexis was able to provide the client with highly efficient and effective, fully integrated, video management software system that would successfully replace the existing system, and support 279 IP Cameras, with the capability to upgrade and integrate over 400+ cameras in the future.
