The Glooscap Heritage Center and Mi'kmaw Museum in Canada installed a video surveillance system in April 2011, to protect assets and monitor visitor traffic throughout the facility. Vivotek's compact fixed dome was chosen by the center's management to monitor the center that consists of an 836.1 square meter (9,000 square feet) multimedia theater, museum, gift shop, and a 436.6 square meter annex for meetings and special events. The center honors the culture and identity of the Mi'kmaq, an aboriginal group of Nova Scotia.

The center honors the culture and identity of the Mi'kmaq, an aboriginal group of Nova Scotia.
The compact dome is designed for indoor applications, blends in with interior décor and layout. For the project, most of the cameras were mounted in the exhibition rooms to survey people traffic. Other cameras were installed in the entrance of the annex building and inside the gift shop. The HD camera comes with a 1-megapixel sensor enabling viewing resolution of 1280 x 800 at 30 fps. The camera also has a built-in MicroSD/ SDHC card slot for on-board storage, which allows recording to take place independently on the camera.
With VIVOTEK VMS, the administrator is provided with a complete overview of all cameras installed in the facility. All compatible video standards, H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG, implemented on the camera allow the video stream to be individually configured and transmitted to meet different requirements and constraints for versatile applications.
"We are very happy with the VIVOTEK cameras," remarked Sharon Touchie, GM of Glooscap. "Having high resolution video throughout the facility has been a huge boost for us in providing safety and security for our visitors when they come to learn about the richness of Mi'kmaw culture."
