For years, South African distributor of Information Technology Infrastructure, AxizWorkgroup, has been outshining the competition by offering a high quality and robust product lineup. It is the main function of AxizWorkgroup to supply high caliber infrastructure, laptops, monitors, softwares and servers. Despite their technologically proficient inventory, they were still being protected by an archaic and low quality CCTV security system.

Hoping to implement a robust system capable of meeting the high expectations they had set with their own products, Axiz promptly contacted The Surveillance Factory (Axis Solution Gold Partner, and Axis Top Sales Partner 2010). It was under their recommendation that the obsolete security system be replaced with an all new IP based system comprised of Axis IP camera products.

After accepting the proposal to redo the outdated system, several HDTV and PTZ network cameras were installed throughout the facility. The placement of each IP camera offered a comprehensive view of the most important areas around the location, such as: the external and internal perimeters, the customer service areas, and the entire warehouse vicinity. The modern and comprehensive security solution gave personnel, consumers, and suppliers the peace of mind they needed to be reassured that they were dealing with a renowned organization.

Founded in 1979, Sabana University has been quickly climbing the ranks as one of the most prestigious institutes of higher learning in Columbia. In fact, in 2006 the university was the recipient of the esteemed High Quality Institutional Accreditation. Among improvements to the facilities, is the necessity for enhanced security efforts to protect the large number of students and technical resources on each of its campuses. As well as the Octavio Arizmendi Posada library, which contains more than 79 thousands books and the new buildings being constructed over more than 8,161 square meters. Given the increasing size of the campus, it was necessary to replace the existing analog security cameras with a robust IP Camera solution capable of providing round the clock monitoring, while offering administrators the ability to access the system in real-time from anywhere.

The institution contacted SDS Corp who determined that an Axis based solution would offer the most benefits. In all, 108 network cameras were installed throughout and around the campus. Including: four Axis 214 PTZ, twelve Axis 211, forty Axis 207, twenty-seven Axis P1343 and twenty-five Axis M3203 IP cameras.

The outcome has been favorable. With all security and administration staff responding positively to the new network based system. Unlike the old, outdated, analog security system the Axis camera solution offers scalability, easy monitoring and helps to reduce expenses continually.

Privately traded Brazilian mining corporation, Minera Vale, employs more than 100,000 people worldwide. As one of the world’s leading iron ore producers the security needs and requirements of Minera Vale are great. Especially now that phosphate production has begun in the Peruvian mine located in Piura. Not only does the mine boast a production capacity of 3.9 million tons of rock per year, but it also houses a phosphate concentrating plant that spans nearly 32 km of highway. In order to maintain control of the complex operation, it was determined to be necessary to implement a wide-ranging camera system.

After contacting Peruvian supplier of Axis network cameras, Prosegur Technologia, it was decided that the most beneficial security solution was one that included IP network cameras in the Axis 221, Axis 225FD and Axis 233D lineups. In total, 66 IP cameras were deployed and effectively augmented with the use of management software capable of permitting various integrated technologies to work interchangeably.

After a successful installation, Minera Vale now maintains complete control over each IP camera and has the ability to monitor and review footage from various locations across the mine and the plant. Not only has this Axis based solution been proven effective for ongoing security efforts, it has also been deemed beneficial in aiding support and emergency personnel in the event of accidents of issues.

The Barry Family Campus is home to more than twenty-five Jewish community buildings, including the Talmud Torah learning center and daycare. In order to keep pace with the communities ‘expectations for health and security’ it became necessary to update the outdated and obsolete security infrastructure.

While it had been seen as cost effective to continue to utilize some of the existing analog security cameras in order to effectively future proof the security system, it was necessary to augment the system with IP network equipment. Axis surveillance equipment was used to configure three Axis 291 IU server racks complete with Axis 243Q Blade servers, two Axis 215 PTZ cameras and one Axis 212 PTZ network camera.

After the induction of the newly augmented security system, the Barry Family Campus security administrators now feel confident in their ability to ensure the safety of the nearly 1,500 people who pass through the center on a daily basis.

From the period ranging from 1999 to 2004 the gross state product of Serra (a bordering city of Vitoia, the capital of Espirito Santo) experienced a 5% hike. As is common with many large urban centers, this growth caused a significant increase in violent crime. In order to address the rising crime rates, the city took prompt action to ensure the safety of its businesses and residents.

At the end of 2007 the city of Serra determined that their 18 limited coverage cameras, many still utilizing analog technology, was insufficient in supporting their growing security needs. Two years later, with the assistance of municipal and Federal government funds, the city joined forces with Pronasci (the National Public Security and Citizenship Program) to mediate the best solution for their complex problem. The first, and most successful, component of the plan was to facilitate the use of 40 Axis Network Cameras, including 30 AXIS Q6032-E Pan/Tilt/Zoom Dome Network Cameras that would be placed strategically in urban streets, and an additional 10 AXIS M1054 High Definition Network Cameras to be used to monitor all access and Data Center locations.

Upon completion of the project, City Hall Secretary of Civil Defence, Joel Lyrio Junior stated, “We have achieved significant reductions I the levels of violent crime in monitored areas, border on 80% in comparison to previous years.” He went on to add that, “We (the city of Serra) have increased the quantity of cameras and changed technology, opting for a more advanced solution with better resolution quality.”

Axis Communications’ network cameras will be installed on Madrid’s 2,300 public buses. Each bus will include three network cameras and one video encoder. The network video products will be part of a security system to improve passenger’s security and safety. The installation started in late 2009 and the whole installation will be finished by the end of 2010.

“During the last few years we have seen a lot of interest from customers who want to improve safety and security in their transit systems. Axis’ network video products have successfully been installed in many demanding environments, including buses in Prague, trains in Sydney and Zurich and subway cars in Moscow. And in addition to this, now on Madrid buses in Spain”, says Ray Mauritsson, President Axis Communications.

Axis has supplied network cameras that are robust, easy to install and compact, yet also deliver high resolution images and tampering alarms. Each bus will include three AXIS M3113-R network cameras and one AXIS Q7401 video encoder.

The surveillance system includes high resolution real time recording and monitoring, and also features a panic button which is connected to EMT’s (The Municipal Transport Company of Madrid) Central Alarm Station. Each bus also includes GPS so it is easy to locate the bus quickly.
