Panasonic's 4K video surveillance to optimize landfill processes and safety

The main landfills in Switzerland have adopted video surveillance systems to improve the processes of dumping and logistics of these facilities safely and efficiently. The solution integrated by Comtronic Communications with Panasonic cameras is a good example of this.

Modern landfills currently use video surveillance cameras to detect vehicle license plates in order to monitor loads., your weight, Monitor landfill sites and simplify logistics processes at these types of facilities, that span large areas and receive different types of materials, that need to be separated into different sections. For example, Debris has an assigned area, as well as larger plastics and waste.

often, Vehicle license plates are not recorded and debris is deposited in the wrong section. Comtronic Communications, integrator of Panasonic based in the Swiss town of Stansstad, Works with several landfills in this country providing specialized security solutions, Monitoring and optimization of your processes.

The Spross landfills in Debag (Zurich), Grimm in Oetwil am See and Bubikon, Wiedag en Oetwil am See and the Kehrichtverwertung Association Nidwalden use Panasonic video analytics solutions as part of their security system.

As Jörg Kaufmann explains, owner of Comtronic Communications, "To avoid errors in the registration of vehicle license plates, cameras can be installed that clearly identify and record the vehicle number and the employee.. Panasonic has a wide range of cameras that allow you to select the most suitable model for your cost optimization needs".

Fixed cameras are suitable for detecting vehicles or for monitoring indoor and outdoor areas. Panasonic WVSW158E model is a vandal-resistant minidome IP camera, with Full HD resolution (1.920×1.080Q) Providing razor-sharp images, thanks to its day/night function, regardless of the time of day.

These external landfills in Switzerland are monitored by Full HD PTZ cameras of the Panasonic WV-SW599E model, with speed of 30 FPS and automatic tracking of moving objects. The optical zoom functions of 30 magnification and additional digital zoom allow images to be magnified up to 90 times, so that those responsible for security of these facilities can supervise the enclosure from a central point.

Through multiple video streams, Camera offers real-time monitoring, as well as display of images in high resolution, of the entire landfill, to which is added its PTZ control function to offer a complete field of view of 360 °.

4K technology and analytical functions

Panasonic's new 4K camera provides ultra high definition (UHD - 4K), High sensitivity and built-in analytical functions for omnidirectional surveillance offering a large viewing area with great detail.

This device generates high-resolution images even at the edges and supports advanced analytics applications, as people count, Moving object remover and thermal mapping, among others, as well as functions that allow the user to create virtual fences, Detect marauders or intruders, Etc.

Another advantage offered by this 4K camera is for logistical security. Containers can be rented from landfills and Panasonic video surveillance cameras allow you to monitor their level, In such a way that they activate an alert these levels are low for their replenishment. "It is possible to remotely access the landfill's video monitoring system through an app or the Web", adds Kaufmann.
