Milan Cathedral upgraded surveillance system with exacqVision

Milan Cathedral upgraded surveillance system with exacqVision
The Milan Cathedral had an aging CCTV analog security system in place. They wanted to upgrade their surveillance system with new IP technology while also utilizing their existing infrastructure. To protect the cathedral’s historical value, Milan Cathedral employees wanted to install a more reliable, updated security system.

Challenge:
The Milan Cathedral had an aging CCTV analog security system in place. They wanted to upgrade their surveillance system with new IP technology while also utilizing their existing infrastructure. To protect the cathedral's historical value, Milan Cathedral employees wanted to install a more reliable, updated security system.

Solution:
They installed three exacqVision LC-Series hybrid network video recorders (NVRs). The hybrid NVRs allowed the cathedral to connect their existing analog cameras and utilize the current infrastructure while also adding new IP cameras. The exacqVision NVRs provided them with a low-cost, powerful system.

The exacqVision system offered them the opportunity to select from thousands of IP camera models that are compatible with the exacqVision system. SIQR, an Italian local distributor, installed new SIQR Sentry two megapixel IP cameras. These new IP cameras provided high definition video and larger aspect ratios. The IP cameras cover more space, so they can see a greater area and detail with one camera. Within exacqVision, Cathedral security can zoom in and move around the image to see greater detail. After seeing the results of the new IP cameras, Milan Cathedral personnel decided to add more cameras. These cameras were strategically placed around the perimeter and inside the cathedral to monitor the most traffiked areas and valuable art pieces.

Each exacqVision server came pre-installed with exacqVision professional video management system (VMS) software. Fabbrica del Duomo Manager views the exacqVision client on his laptop using the free web client application. From the client, he can easily monitor video from all cameras. Within a few clicks, he can search and find the video evidence necessary. Specifically, the Cathedral Manager can use a timeline search to quickly identify the visual change and exact time in the video that he needs for the evidence. They are now able to respond to situations faster than ever before and provide local police with the appropriate video evidence.

The exacqVision solution proved to be future proof. They can easily add additional IP cameras and another server over the next few years to expand their security system.
