In Vietnam, the Tan Hiep Phat Beverage Group (THP) provides health bottled beverages is in various different economic stages throughout the world. Various lines of this company's health-centric products even outsell offerings from global giants such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi. In many respects, THP is single-handedly reshaping how the Vietnamese consumer chooses what to drink.
Headquartered in Binh Duong (near the nation's most populous city – Ho Chi Minh City), THP's business offices are actually connected to the company's main factory facility. Impressive as this compound is, November, 2011, brought another landmark first: it represents the greatest number of surveillance cameras for a single security project in Vietnam's history.
The Backbone of this Solution
Wimax Communications, Hikvision's authorized distributor in Vietnam (and a consultant on this project that was responsible for designing the overall network, recording system, and VMS software) selected 860 individual Hikvision IP cameras to form the backbone of this solution.
Hikvision's 440 units of DS-2CD754FWD-EI 2MP WDR network dome cameras are located throughout the 6,000 square meters of office space, 7,500 square meters of factory space, and the 46,000 square meters of warehouse space. The cameras utilize a 1/3” progressive scan CMOS, 120dB of wide dynamic range, up to 2 megapixel (1920 x 1080) resolution, full HD 1080P real-time video, a day / night auto switch, 20m IR LED optional, and vandal-proof housing.
Dinh Nguyen, MD at Wimax Communications, explained, “We placed this WDR dome at virtually every location throughout this large facility. We chose the DS-2CD754FWD-EI 2MP WDR because it provides an excellent picture with great clarity – a vital requirement for this project. Specifically, this wide dynamic range feature allows us more options in placing cameras throughout the facility.”
At 252 individual units, Hikvision's DS-2CD8253F-EI 2MP IR bullet camera is the second-most represented camera. Mr. Nguyen noted, “The DS-2CD8253F-EI 2MP is located both indoors and outdoors, so IP66 weather-proof rating is absolutely critical.
Since the DS-2CD8253F-EI 2MP is also located outdoors, a true day / night feature ensures time of day is not an issue. Furthermore, 2-megapixel high resolution, HD720p real time video recording, and ePTZ control guarantee it is easy-to-use and provides a high-quality experience.
The DS-2CD853F-E 2MP network camera represents an additional 92 units of these IP cameras. Features such as up to 2 megapixel resolution, H.264 / MPEG4 / MJPEG video compression, a 1/3' progressive scan CMOS, true day / night, SD/SDHC card slot, and optional Wi-Fi give “this camera the ability to accurately zoom onto both objects and people throughout the general factory areas,” Mr. Nguyen noted. “It doesn't matter if we're interested in a particular box of products, or someone's face – we can see both perfectly with this model,” Mr. Nguyen added.
44 units of the DS-2CD8153F-E 2MP network cube camera secure office areas. In this case, the DS-2CD8153F-E 2MP's internal microphone and speaker plays an important role and provides an additional level of security. Mr. Nguyen noted “this camera's ability to record audio is perfect for internal areas where important business matters are discussed.”
In this solution, audio data is kept for 30 days in the facility's security center, allowing a strong insurance that any potential misunderstanding can be quickly – and accurately – resolved. As with the other cameras, this model owns a 1/3” progressive scan CMOS, H.264 / MPEG4 / MJPEG video compression, up to 2 megapixel resolution, HD 720P real time video, as well as a day / night auto switch, and optional Wi-Fi functionality.
Comprising 35 units is the final piece of this camera puzzle: Hikvision's DS-2DF1-572 1.3 MP Network High Speed Dome. Powerful PTZ control, 3D intelligent positioning functionality, and 18x optical zoom make this the perfect camera to protect THP's warehouse facilities. “360 degrees of pan provides a wide view of coverage and the ability to instantly check on issues such as finished goods,” Mr. Nguyen explained.
