Advanced video technology for an intelligent and secure company perimeter defence system: STT and Axis for System Truck.

System Truck, one of the leading companies in Europe in the conversion of industrial vehicles, needed a reliable video-surveillance and perimeter defence system to monitor its 15,000-m² production plant in Roverbella, Italy. The previous traditional company protection system based on infra-red barriers had proven inefficient as it created numerous false alarms and was unable to properly protect the entire company perimeter.

The designing and setting out of an integrated perimeter defence system requires extensive skill and attention. Only intelligent and highly technological video surveillance defence systems that are integrated and capable of communicating with one another can allow the real-time detection of possible intrusion attempts, even in “extreme” conditions such as poor visibility or total darkness, the activation of alarms in order to keep personnel quickly informed and the playing of pre-recorded warnings in order to discourage would-be intruders.

The solution also includes AXIS Q6125-LE PTZ Network Camera with 30x optical zoom and 150 m integrated IR guaranteeing exceptional viewing and performance even in low-lighting conditions, equipment that works seamlessly with the AXIS Perimeter Defender system. From a software point of view, AXIS Camera Station video management software was adopted, which allows highly efficient video management and perfect connection to all the other Axis functions and devices used.

Thanks to the real-time notification system for suspected intrusions, it is in fact possible to achieve very high levels of precision in the detection and visualisation of all actions that take place in a determined area of the company perimeter without the need for the on-site presence of security staff, with consequential savings in terms of time and money. The project has also resulted in advantages in terms of competitiveness and business for system integrator STT, which can now demonstrate its consolidated experience in the field of video surveillance, unified collaboration, cabling, networking and security, and which thanks to this successful experience has had the opportunity to approach new experiences in the sector of physical security

“The project set up for System Truck together with the partner STT has allowed for the implementation of an innovative solution through integration and interaction between the different video surveillance devices used, the alarm-management system and the use of radar for a number of critical areas that could not be covered by thermal video cameras. The entire system functions in an intelligent and smart manner via a virtual operator that controls and manages any alarms.
