National Chi Nan University (NCNU), is located in Nantou, Taiwan, offers a scenic learning and research environment to more than 6,000 students and a faculty and staff team of over 500 people. As a knowledge hub, NCNU library receives numerous students and scholars on a daily basis. The large number of readers and visitors causes tremendous pressure to the administrative team, which is responsible for ensuring a safe and convenient environment for its users.
The previous security system installed in the library was an analog system. In such systems, point-to-point transmission is limited between cameras and video players or recorders. Consequently, centralized image management was difficult to achieve, let alone image quality.
In September 2013, NCNU cooperated with Zero One Technology Co., Ltd., VIVOTEK's official distributor in Taiwan, to implement a VIVOTEK IP surveillance system in the library.
A total of 36 cameras were installed in the indoor spaces of the NCNU library. Specifically, the twelve FD8135Hs, with WDR Pro technology for coping with challenging lighting conditions, were installed in the hallways leading to the bathrooms in the building. The IP8151s, featuring the utmost in picture clarity, were installed to monitor book circulation desks to reduce disputes over book circulation. Additionally, CC8130s, designed as compact cube camera with panoramic view, were installed in the hallway racks to obtain 180° horizontal images of the interior of the library. These images have enabled the staff to comprehensively monitor all areas of the building during all hours of a day.
