Meadowhall Shopping Center, located in Sheffield, UK, Meadowhall Shopping Center, is one of the country’s biggest shopping malls that has hundreds of retail outlets has recently replaced its outdated CCTV recording system with IndigoVision’s new IP video system. The new system is required to ensure the security and safety outside and inside of the mall.
The designer and installer of the new system is MITIE Security Systems. They have worked closely with the mall to choose the best solution to replace the old system. Meadowhall wanted a flexible, modular, and scalable solution to replace the old DVR technology that was costly and difficult to develop any further. The new system had to be able to be supported by their IT department. The ability much of their original CCTV equipment as possible, first class local support, and technology that has been proven in the field were reasons the new system was selected.
The flexibility of the new IP Video technology permits hybrid digital and analog systems to be developed easily. The result is that the old analog systems can now be expanded or updated with the latest digital technology that is IP based, while being able to keep and use much of their original CCTV equipment. In the case of Meadowhall this was accomplished through the replacement of the old DVR equipment with 12 standalone Night Vision Recorders (NVRs). The original monitors for the control rooms, analog matrices, and cameras were all saved.
The new IP Video system was configured as 12, 10 channel racks and was connected to each camera feed. This new system converts the analog signal to MPEG-4 that has a full frame rate of digital video for use recording onto the new NVRs. The Control Center for the new IP Video system and alarm management software has numerous tools that permit the operators to rapidly analyze and retrieve the recorded footage. The high quality video clips are tamper proof and can easily be exported to the police for evidential purposes. The 12 NVRs provide the Center with more than 30 days of recording. This upgrade was accomplished in just under a week with both recording systems running in parallel which helped to ensure zero downtime during the transition.
