Wavestore and Smartrove Deploys Video Surveillance System for Bermuda City

British manufacturer Wavestore continues to wave the flag with news that its video management software (VMS) has been utilized as part of a city-wide crime prevention, license plate recognition and parking enforcement video surveillance solution for Bermuda City.

Wavestore and Smartrove, a data offload company based in the Silicon Valley in the United States, have successfully completed the integration and deployment of a large city-wide surveillance network on the island of Bermuda. This technology alliance between the two companies has allowed the Bermuda police department to wirelessly monitor activity in the farthest corners of the island and improve law and order by having a 24/7 video surveillance system operating over carrier grade equipment from Smartrove.

Working together, Smartrove's extensive 802.11 mesh solution and Wavestore's recording, viewing, and analytics software provide a low latency solution which operates over Bermuda City's high capacity networks and facilitates the deployment of a broad range of IP High Definition cameras. The new IP network based system, which has replaced an outdated analogue system, comprises ten PTZ cameras, 27 fixed cameras, and 5 license plate recognition cameras. It has been designed with the future expansion in mind and as such has the capacity to be expanded fourfold if and when requirements change. The images captured by the cameras are transmitted up to 13 kilometres to a central control room where they are recorded and stored on the Wavestore recording solution. In addition to the control room operators, other authorized users are also able to access the live or recorded video from any PC workstation on the network.
