VIVOTEK Enhances Security in Ukrainian City Hosting UEFA Euro 2012

For securing the city of Donetsk, Konus Ukraine, VIVOTEK's local distributor, worked closely with the Donetsk municipal government, deploying VIVOTEK's network cameras with implementing a centrally managed surveillance system. In the end, a total of 315 VIVOTEK network cameras were installed— 288 IP8332 cameras for parks and streets, 5 SD8362E cameras for parks and 22 FD8134 cameras for museums.

The IP8332 is a 1-megapixel bullet-style network camera specifically designed for outdoor surveillance applications. For this project, it was chosen to monitor the parks and streets of Donetsk. With an IP66-rated weatherproof housing, built-in IR-cut filter and IR illuminators effective at up to 15 meters, the IP8332 is able to capture high-quality video around the clock. In addition, the IP8332 supports the H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG compression formats, and is able to simultaneously transmit multiple streams in any of these formats at different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities. Depending on particular bandwidth constraints or monitoring needs, the streams can be individually configured. Moreover, equipped with tamper detection and 802.3af-compliant PoE, the IP8332 is the perfect camera choice for ensuring the safety of Donetsk.

For parks, besides the IP8332, VIVOTEK's SD8362E cameras were also installed. The SD8362E, a 2-megapixel camera with a 20x zoom lens, is not only able to deliver superb image quality, but also able to capture sharp detail even from a considerable distance. Also, its IP66-rated housing and a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 55°C make the camera an ideal choice for outdoor monitoring.

In order to more comprehensively secure the city, surveillance was also introduced to the public indoor locations such as museums that were most likely to be crowded with visitors. The FD8134, a camera specifically designed for indoor security applications, was selected for these locations. Equipped with a 1-megapixel sensor that delivers a viewing resolution of 1280x800 at 30 fps, real-time H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG compression, a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, the camera can reduce bandwidth consumption and save on storage requirements while delivering high-quality, exceptionally clear video around the clock.
