Introduction

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.

Solutions

Cameras integration

Cost effective

A more cost-effective licensing structure provided the capability to change or expand from the existing set-up and provide further functionality in future.

Adjacent camera mapping

High-speed suspect tracking using the CathexisVision adjacent camera mapping feature which enables users to easily follow suspects across multiple cameras at the click of a button.

Advanced video search

The advanced video search feature provided by CathexisVision, provided the ideal solution for this installation, where the control room operators can speed up the viewing of pre-recorded footage and eliminate the need to review irrelevant footage. The snap search tool is ideal for this high activity application because it uses thumbnail images to quickly pinpoint the time of any incident. The motion search feature automatically finds the footage associated with motion in user-defined areas.

Third-party integration

While this installation did not require any initial third-party integrations, the customer specifically wanted the new video management solution to allow for future third-party integrations, such as access control, fire detection and point-of-sale.
