Newman University renews its video surveillance system with Idis

The new infrastructure has the Idis DirectIP solution, consisting of more than 160 Cameras, Smart Failover technology and a storage system made up of four NVRs of 64 channels and three others 32 Channels.

The Newman University in Birmingham called the systems specialist Unison Integrated Technology when a large overload of energy deactivated more than 30 cameras from his old system. The faculty was looking for a solution that would provide you with comprehensive video coverage, that was more robust than the previous one and easy to use.

“We hire our security services, so it's important for employees to be able to use all the key functions of the system with minimal training”, says Lewis Palin, facility manager.

Unison proposed a solution Idis end-to-end that had already been established in other schools, nearby schools and shopping sites with optimal results.

Total cost of ownership was also a factor, newman needed more than 150 new internal and external cameras, so Palin wanted to integrate her existing cameras and infrastructure with the new solution. It also meant minimum maintenance charges, without licensing fees and the option to adapt or scale the system as the campus grows or requirements change.

Unison's team provided an Idis DirectIP solution, consisting of more than 160 Cameras, including five models of 2 MP Lightmaster IR PTZ offering 32x zoom and sharp images in all types of lighting, thanks to its IR of 350 Meters, with true wide dynamic range and digital image stabilization.

Also, Unison has also installed 55 IR dome cameras with Full HD resolution and vandal-proof, to secure entrances and internal areas, And 40 IR with HD coverage for certain key external areas.

New cameras incorporate Idis Smart Failover technology, that ensures automatic protection against video data loss and eliminates the risk of recording gaps, in the event of power failure or network instability.

The storage capacity is secured by four network video recorders 64 channels with built-in failover and RAID support 1, 5 And 10, in addition to three others 32 channels with Idis Intelligent Codec that deliver storage efficiency.

With the new infrastructure, security agents can easily monitor internal and external areas live, And, Quickly, search and retrieve recorded images to find events of interest.
