Ceará Government deploys Axis camera surveillance in prisons.
Increased efficiency and optimized productivity with surveillance solution at prison.
Mission
In order to deploy a video surveillance solution for remotely controlling much of the prison system in the state of Ceará, Brazil, the Department of Justice and Citizenship of the State of Ceará (Sejus-CE), created an IP surveillance video central in Fortaleza, at its headquarters, which added high quality images, remote management and access to real-time images. Currently, a central room monitors the main state prisons, including the Temporary Detention Installations 2, 3 and 4 in Itaitinga, the State Jails in the cities of Crato, Jati and Sobral and the Pacatuba State Prison.
Solution
A new model of video surveillance was implemented by the integrator Imagem Segurança at the headquarters of Sejus to promote greater security to the state prison system and, at the same time, maximize the department technology teamwork. The system is composed of the surveillance station and more than 500 cameras installed in prisons, having distance monitoring 24 hours a day.
From the portfolio of manufacturer Axis Communications, the following models were installed for internal and external environments: AXIS 233D, AXIS 211M, AXIS 215 PTZ-E, AXIS M1011, AXIS Q6032-E, AXIS M1054, AXIS P1344-E and AXIS P5534-E. The Axis solution was complemented by the video management software chosen from ISS, which allows recording preconfigured images and alarms.
Result
The project has added a number of benefits to Sejus. Among the main ones are highlighted: centralization of video control of the state prison security system; optimizing the productivity of the IT staff; real-time control of prisons; high quality images and system of visual and audible alarms, enabling preventive work in relation to escapes and rebellions.
Integrator Imagem Segurança has implemented specific models of Axis IP cameras in each unit of CPPL at the state jails in Crato, Jati and Sobral and Pacatuba State Prison. In the project, there are megapixel cameras which offer recording and analyzing multiple scenes. Being a detention environment, it was necessary to introduce a high-definition remote monitoring system of images recorded in various lighting conditions, and especially to allow audio recording to video.
The surveillance via CCTV allows Sejus to daily monitor the units, benefiting intelligence and security actions, preventing possible escape attempts or other anomalies in the prison system; for this, the Axis products offer us an effective solution for monitoring images and audio with high quality.
The cameras were installed around the prisons’ surroundings, external and access areas and also in the administrative area of each unit. The Department of Justice and Citizenship of Ceará’s mission is to promote full citizenship and human rights. For the fulfillment of its duty, it is incumbent upon Sejus to perform maintenance, supervision, coordination, control, security and administration of the State Prison System of Ceará, in addition to the enforcement of sentences and to ensure the free exercise of the powers constituted.
It is the responsibility of Sejus-CE to oversee and implement the state policy of preserving the legal system, defense, citizenship and constitutional guarantees. It is also the responsibility of the Department to develop studies and propose measures concerning civil, political, social and economic rights, the civil liberties and the promotion of equal rights and opportunities.
