Dallmeier video technology secures the Pilsen carport

The 41.000 square meters of the Slovany reservoir are equipped with multifocal sensor technology from Dallmeier, offering high image quality, with the ability to zoom in even over long distances, from a minimum number of installation points, allowing effective surveillance of this large space.

In Pilsen, the fourth largest city in the Czech Republic, The tram plays a vital role in public transport. With a 45% Quota, It is an essential means of local transport in the city. Carriages are stored in a tram depot when not in use or for maintenance. In 2024, the completion of the new Slovany Deposit marked a milestone. The security of the 41.000 square meters is guaranteed by the video security technology from Dallmeier.

The project began with an analysis of the existing conditions and requirements necessary for the modernization of rolling stock with the aim of meeting the latest safety and efficiency standards. The aim was to increase the security of both the entire warehouse area and the fleet of vehicles through the use of video surveillance technology.

As part of the complete reconstruction of the Slovany reservoir, This objective was met by implementing the technology Panomera and through the system's capabilities: High image quality with the possibility of enlarging details even over long distances – all from a minimum number of installation points, allowing effective surveillance of a large area such as a tram depot.

Accurate planning is essential to eliminate blind spots. In the past, The public operator of PMDP Transports tried to control the situation with a large number of conventional single-sensor cameras. However, the image quality was insufficient to recognize or even identify people.

For that reason, Security managers looked for a new solution and found it in the Multifocal sensor technology by Dallmeier. The implementation of the Panomera surveillance cameras required careful preparation and coordination with many stakeholders.

In the first phase of the project, all parties involved -PMDP, the installer Vegacom and Dallmeier- carried out a thorough site analysis to ensure optimal coverage of the entire reservoir area with no blind spots. This included calculations of the optimal mounting height of the cameras, your distance and the adjustment of the viewing angle.

Third-party integration

Of equal importance was the attention paid to the technical aspects of the project, in particular the integration of the Panomera system into the transport company's security infrastructure and full compatibility with technologies already in use.

To do this, The development of specific software to manage and archive the recordings was essential. They were also part of the project along with new data networks, servers for processing and storing the huge amounts of information generated by the cameras.

As a public transport company and, therefore, part of critical infrastructure, Particular attention was paid to data protection, Cybersecurity and transmission network security. That's why, a robust system was required that, For example, Be protected from unauthorized access to recordings.

Under the motto “Privacy and Security by Design”, Dallmeier solutions offer a wide range of technical and software features to meet data protection and cybersecurity requirements.

Immediate resolution of security incidents

The implementation of Panomera technology also changed PMDP's approach to facility surveillance and area security. Thanks to the wide viewing angle and high resolution of the cameras, The entire tank area can now be controlled in great detail, while it is possible to immediately identify and resolve almost any security incident or unusual activity.

The project also included a training component for safety and technical maintenance personnel.

“PMDP staff needed to learn how to effectively use the new system to monitor and analyze data. In other words,: One of the objectives of the project was to use video images for training in order to identify potential risks and avoid potential safety hazards”, Daniel Frous points out, Vegacom project manager.

Although the project presented a number of technical and organizational challenges, thanks to the teamwork and experience of the specialists involved, was completed within the planned deadline. The result is a modern tank, Safe and efficient operation that is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for surveillance and protection of the entire area.

The expected result of the company's management is both a reduction in the number of incidents and potential cost savings through better use of resources and damage prevention.

“In conclusion, We can express our full satisfaction with the progress and final result of the project”, summarizes Jan Bajnar, Dallmeier Business development manager Czech Republic and Slovakia.
