State-of-the-art network technologies in Magyar Telekom’s new office building.

Cameras are used for general surveillance both indoors and outdoors. In addition to observing high-priority areas, all traffic routes and parking lots and even the rooftop running track can be seen on the displays. There are cameras in the halls, storage rooms and cloakrooms as well. The planned integrated building management system operates the cameras together with the fire alarm, intrusion alarm and access control system, when a particular sensor is signaled, the image of the nearest camera is always displayed in the control center. This allows the security service to verify immediately, 24 hours a day, whether a false alarm or a real emergency has occurred.

Axis Zipstream, optimized for video surveillance, reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50 percent. Among the ACAP applications that can be installed on Axis cameras is Axxon’s own application, which allows analytics based on various metadata to be run on the camera side rather than on the server side. With these solutions, instead of the originally designed 20-30 servers, only four were needed, which significantly reduced costs.

Thanks to solutions from T-Systems Hungary and Axis Communications, the result is a full-range camera system that, when presented to customers, enables Telekom and T-Systems professionals to demonstrate efficient and intelligent operation of cabling, switching and servers.For example, the large lobby’s surveillance camera can be supplemented with a peoplecounting algorithm to determine how many people stay in the building during a mass event. Applications that are great for statistical and marketing purposes like this are currently being designed and developed.
