Scati combines technology and culture to protect the Canfranc Estación hotel

To protect the facilities of the historic railway station of Canfranc, Converted into a luxury hotel, more than 30 SEM-3513R-EY2 cameras; a minidome of 2 Mp, five SEM-3613VR3S-XYA2 and two SEM-3701RS-EAO. The infrastructure is completed with two NVR Vision and the VMS of Scati.

The historical Canfranc railway station, located in the Aragonese Pyrenees, has reopened its doors converted into a five-star hotel of great luxury, being part of the Barceló Group. As part of its renovation project has been carried out the installation of a comprehensive video surveillance infrastructure with the technology of Scati.

Inaugurated in 1928, the old Canfranc station was a crucial point for railway communication between Spain and France and one of the most important complexes built in Europe in the early twentieth century. Declared Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) In 2002 And Railway Heritage, has been the subject of a rehabilitation project in which its DNA and its architectural and cultural heritage have been respected.

This project, carried out by the Barceló hotel chain, aspires to become a reference establishment, both nationally and internationally and an important point of attraction for luxury tourism for the region.

The hotel has 104 Rooms, of which four are luxury suites, a wellness area with a heated pool and a library. The rehabilitation project has respected the historic lobby of the station, Converted into the hotel reception, and has two restaurants for which two train cars have been rehabilitated following the classic European style of the twentieth century.

Respecting historical heritage

This rehabilitation project has also taken into account safety and security.. To guarantee the total protection of the installation, Scati technology has been chosen.

Respect for the architectural and cultural heritage of these historic facilities has been fundamental to execute this project. In addition to taking into account other factors such as energy efficiency, safety and social and environmental sustainability.

The main need presented by this project is the protection of the common rooms of the hotel and especially the historic lobby of the station, converted into the reception that, Today, is commonly used.

In addition, It was necessary to take into account the challenge posed by the integration of video surveillance systems with the architecture and design of the spaces to guarantee the balance between the aesthetics of the hotel and the comfort and privacy of its customers without sacrificing security.

For the protection of the facilities, more than 30 Cameras SEM-3513R-EY2; a minidome of 2 Anti-vandal MP that incorporates infrared up to 30 Meters. They also have WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), that compensates for the problems of backlights and glare that can occur in some areas such as accesses, Halls, Etc.; and five other minidome cameras (SEM-3613VR3S-XYA2) more discreet size.

To cover large areas where the point of interest is constantly changing, two cameras from the panoramic series have been installed. Scati Eyer. The model SEM-3701RS-EAO It offers great image quality thanks to its 6 MP resolution and wide-angle lens allows you to record the entire field of view without blind spots.

The recording of these images is done through two NVR Scati Vision of the PRO range, with storage sized to the needs of the hotel. These teams are able to manage up to 32 Megapixel cameras simultaneously with maximum performance, and feature a PoE switch up to 16 ports for quick start-up. This leads to significant savings in installation costs.

The versatility and management capacity of these recording platforms make them ideal for this project that requires a robust equipment, Reliable and easy to operate.

To ensure the proper functioning of the video surveillance system on a continuous basis, the solution provided by Scati includes an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that provides backup electrical power for the charging of equipment, avoiding the problems arising from power interruption (instability or power outages).

The management of the video surveillance system is done through the video management platform (Vms) of Sacati from three posts that have different access permissions (Two display of images from cameras) and one of system monitoring.

Open platform

Scati has proposed an open platform that allows multiple security systems to be easily integrated into a single solution: access controls, anti-intrusion systems, fire, Etc. A flexible system, able to adapt with total discretion to events and variable situations that may occur in these facilities.

For the selection of cameras has opted for a combination of discreet equipment, that maintain the privacy of customers, with others that act as a deterrent and that are able to manage strong changes in the brightness of the scene and continue to capture each scene in detail.

Scati VMS platform offers search and management tools to optimize forensic work, while giving a quick response and reducing the associated times and costs.

In addition to guaranteeing the safety of the installation, the system incorporates artificial intelligence so it collects information from intelligent analytics on the images, so that the hotel establishment can make decisions that improve daily operations and optimize processes.
Scati video surveillance systems coexist with an exponent of Spanish architectural and cultural heritage and write together with Grupo Barceló a new chapter of this new history.
