Integrated Video Surveillance (IVS) is a suite of solutions developed
by Alcatel-lucent for the visual security surveillance markets. In these
markets, security is a major concern in industries such as Oil & Gas,
Transportation, as well as Government - Public Security and Homeland Security.
Video surveillance is often the main staple of turnkey solutions required in
these segments. Alcatel-Lucent’s integrated video surveillance combines
the latest technology making it more efficient and cost effective:
A Flexible IP architecture provides a smooth evolution path to an all IP
digital video surveillance and at the same time reduces CAPEX
Video content analysis techniques allow for fewer operators and an improved
OpEx
The ALU solution is ubiquitous: It captures content from mobile and fixed
cameras and displays it in control centers, for employees on the move or
executives in their offices
And now, ALU has a long list of integrated video surveillance
references:
Over 80 industry references, which cover Oil & Gas, Regional Public
Security, Highways, Railways, and other industries.
Alcatel-Lucent’s Integrated Video Surveillance solution allows you to
share telecom and IT infrastructure costs which saves both CapEx and
OpEx. The Integrated Video Surveillance solution provides more
applications in addition to video at a marginal cost. Applications
include; voice and internet access to name a few. ALU provides the
technical planning and will configure your network in order to optimize
bandwidth while providing quality of service. The Integrated Video
Surveillance solution is an integrated, multi-vendor communications
solution.
Economic Benefits
Features:
Integrated Video Surveillance improves OpEx:
With traditional solutions there are often too many monitors/operators in
the control center, ALU’s content analysis software allows filtering and
automatically triggers alarms thus lowering OpEx and enhancing efficiency.
ALU’s Integrated Video Surveillance solution provides value-added software
to support multiple applications that share the same infrastructure thus
reducing Operating Expenses.
Integrated Video Surveillance solution lowers CapEx:
Alcatel-Lucent is vendor agnostic and has benchmarked many providers in a
neutral way thus ALU will choose the best product based on features and
competitive pricing and will engage in global agreements which helps to lower
CapEx.
The Integrated Video Surveillance solution is flexible enough to leverage
the existing analog IVS asset which may be partly reused, thus helping to lower
CapEx.
Deployment, Management, End user Benefits
Alcatel-Lucent’s Integrated Video Surveillance Solution is able to provide
an evolution path from traditional analog systems to new IP core systems.
Existing analog Integrated Video Surveillance solutions can be partly reused,
thus saving CapEx.
Alcatel-Lucent’s video surveillance system can integrate with Access
Control Systems, perimeter alarm and Geographic Information Systems. In
addition, ALU’s IVS solution adheres to industry processes and standards.
