Telecom Lead Asia: Shyam Networks, a division of Vihaan Netwroks, has deployed its IP Video Surveillance solution at Taj Mahal at Agra, India.
The deployment includes Hawk (Pan Tilt Zoom) and Falcon (Fixed Box) cameras along with Di-Cortex Video Management Software.
Shyam Networks has installed this surveillance solution in association with Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) which is responsible for the security of the monument.
The installation was carried out using permitted techniques under the Archaeological Survey of India guidelines while at the same time ensuring that all the requirements of the surveillance system were met. Outdoor housings and enclosures were used to keep the cameras and other networking equipment free from environmental factors without affecting the quality of the system deliverables.
“The surveillance solution not only delivers high resolution images to the CISF monitoring team but also enables storage of all data for retrieval at a later stage for any forensic or statistical requirement,” said Rajeev Sharad, vice president – Security & Automation Business Unit, Vihaan Networks.
This deployment by Shyam Networks enables the CISF teams as well as Archaeological Survey of India to seamlessly integrate and access the video footage of the mausoleum and the surrounding areas spanning the entire complex.
“It has always been our endeavour to provide locally manufactured Indian products and solutions that can help in creating long lasting impact on a global scale. This is a very special project for us as it required a lot of care to be taken at the ground level, while deploying our surveillance solution,” said Nafis Kazim, chief operating officer, Shyam Networks.
