Vivotek and Hyperion provide a complete IP surveillance system to AG Processing

AGP has installed, with the help of Hyperion, more than 500 Vivotek cameras in their buildings including the SD8363E dome camera and the IP8362 bullet type. Also, other models have also been used such as the FD8151V, FE8174, FE8181 and FE8181V.

AG Processing (AGP) It is an agricultural cooperative that has been on the market since 1983 Dedicating itself to the acquisition, processing, Marketing and transport of oilseeds, Cereals and related products.

Your network includes 172 cooperatives representing more than 250.000 farmers across the Midwest, as well as other regional cooperatives in the United States and Canada. It is also the world's largest soybean processing cooperative and is a supplier of soybean meal and refined vegetable oils..

The acquisition of a new facility in Algona (Iowa) It was the moment in which the company considered the renovation of its outdated surveillance infrastructure., that in some of the plants and installation were still based on analog systems and did not respond to the requirements of the company's level of growth.

In a joint work with Hyperion Integrators, AGP has developed a comprehensive surveillance system for the Algona facility that incorporates high-quality components.

With this first step, made in 2012, AGP has installed IP surveillance systems based on Vivotek in twelve of its buildings, including its headquarters in Nebraska, four facilities in Iowa, two in Texas and one more in Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico and elsewhere. An implementation that AGP intends to expand to the rest of its locations.

“With the help of Vivotek and Hyperion, We have managed to build and maintain a system in permanent growth that we control from a centralized location", explains Sandy Mason, Director of Labor Relations and Safety at AGP.

More than 500 installed cameras

The coverage of such a wide structure of facilities through a network as large as AGP's, Requires a wide range of surveillance solutions.

One of the factors that led him to work with Vivotek, was their diverse range of network IP cameras, that allowed him to meet all his surveillance needs.

AGP has so far installed more than 500 cameras in your buildings including the SD8363E high-speed dome network equipment with 20x zoom, Resistant to the most extreme external conditions; the SD8364E, incorporating defogging function; and IP8362 network bullet camera with focus and WDR assist, that allow to obtain highly usable high-quality images even under difficult lighting conditions.

Also, other models such as the FD8151V have also been installed, a fixed dome camera day/night anti-vandalism, and FE8174, A system with wide-angle fisheye lens capable of providing 360 Surround viewing grades and local spherical distortion correction allows any section of the image to display more naturally.

The modern FE8181 and FE8181V cameras, with IR function and wide-angle fisheye lens, They were also installed in this project. Both models incorporate a removable IR cutting filter with day/night functions, and an IR illuminator with a range of 10 meters that provides uniform illumination through an immersive view of 360 Degrees, ensuring the quality of the images during the 24 Hours. In addition, three other models with superior image processing capability and WDR Pro technology were adopted: FD8137HV, FD8365EHV and IP8165HP.
