Etrovision Technology

The Perm State Medical Academy is one of the most prominent educational institutions in the Perm district of Russia. Specializing in medicine, the institution not only acts as an educational and research center, but also serves an operating medical facility.

In an effort to provide comprehensive campus security at Perm State Medical Academy, Etrovision was chosen to provide megapixel surveillance cameras for fourteen buildings on the campus.

The institution had stringent requirements for insuring the safety of staff, students, patients, academia and visitors. In addition, the surveillance system had to comply with the federal anti-terrorism regulations imposed by the Russian Federation. The Russian government approved and installed 235 units of EV8781Q-MD and EV8581A-C megapixel cameras based on four main requirements: scalability, accessibility, interoperability, and reliability.

The Etrovision megapixel cameras were found suitable for system scalability. The EV8781Q-MD and EV8581A-C both are IP cameras that provide megapixel resolution, multiple independent streams with ROI and PoE. These factors along with the H.264 codec help facilitate future expansion within the context of the current security system.

The cameras had to be accessible using standard applications such as browsers and mobile phones as well as via video management systems. The Etrovision cameras with ONVIF compatibility, standard RTSP access and major browser support met all the medical academy’s accessibility criteria.

Interoperability with other hardware and software systems was an important factor for the Perm officials. The EV8781Q-MD and EV8581A-C both have digital input/output interfaces, a comprehensive CGI interface and ONVIF compatibility for efficient integration of hardware and software applications.

The EV8781Q-MD was chosen for its weatherproof IP67 rating which is important in a challenging environment such as Russia. In addition, Etrovision provides a 3 year warranty on the cameras.
