The Amsterdam-Amstelland Police Department updates its video surveillance system with Geutebruck

G-Core video management system and new IP cameras complement the Vingtor-Stentofon intercom system in the prison system, providing greater freedom to prisoners and security to security agents.

The Amsterdam-Amstelland Police Department has taken a step forward in its video surveillance infrastructure by incorporating the G-Core video management system Geutebruck and replacing 99 monitoring cameras. This software facilitates video analysis while protecting the privacy of inmates. This app offers features like GPU acceleration, providing greater image processing, or its dual database architecture, ensuring quick access to saved images and a high level of security against tampering.

The background to this security infrastructure goes back a few decades, when the Elandsgracht prison system in Amsterdam became one of the first places in the Netherlands where prisoners were given more freedom. The idea was to positively influence the behaviour of inmates fighting boredom. They were installed with television and computer games and given access to control the light, water and temperature in their cells. For this project, Elbo Technology supplied the Vingtor-Stentofon intercom systems Zenitel.

This initiative reduced resources for prisoner supervision and also reduced altercations. Over time, this intercom system was completed with video surveillance cameras from Geutebruck, which allowed the guards to contact the inmates remotely, increasing the level of security in the work environment of security agents.

When these video surveillance equipment needed to be replaced and modernized, it was chosen to implement a modern video system from Geutebruck, providing optimal image quality and providing the latest technology in the area of video analysis, that guarantees the privacy of inmates. In addition to replacing the cameras, renewed 91 Vingtor-Stentofon intercom devices. Moreover, Geutebruck's new IP cameras offer network and coaxial connection, which made it possible for the remigration of old systems to the new infrastructure to be quick and easy.
