CCR Group, one of the private infrastructure groups in Latin America, has a strong presence in the highway concession sector. The surveillance model of the highways was not considered satisfactory. At that time, the security provided applied only to property. "The reliability was very poor," said Wanderlei Jorge, Manager of the CCR Group project and responsible for the implementation of a new project.
CCR Group, one of the private infrastructure groups in Latin America, has a strong presence in the highway concession sector. The surveillance model of the highways was not considered satisfactory. At that time, the security provided applied only to property. "The reliability was very poor," said Wanderlei Jorge, Manager of the CCR Group project and responsible for the implementation of a new project.
CCR Group created a new video surveillance system for concessionary companies at six points including AutoBAn, Nova-Dutra, RodoNorte, Ponte Rio-Niterói, RodoAnel Oeste and ViaOeste. Jorge passed these specificities on to CMA Telecom, an integrator developing customized solutions with cutting-edge technologies. The software chosen to manage the images was from Intelligent Security Systems. About 50 Axis video encoders were installed with the analog cameras of the Via Oeste and another model with H.264 compression technology appeared on the west section of the RodoAnel. Considering all the highways together, the project includes approximately 800 cameras.
The CMA project for CCR is the largest in Latin America for highway surveillance. "We adopted 30-fps recording for up to three days of storage. During this period, I can perform more detailed analysis, check a license plate, the face of a person or even discover the cause of an accident," Jorge said.
"The main differences in this project are the simple operation of the system, which can provide the same image to various operators, as well as the option to record in HDTV quality or low resolution for different periods of up to five years," Jorge said.
