Colombia. The complexity of integration of an IP Video Surveillance System and the need for large recording capacity, once meant for R.G. Distribuciones, a distributor of security solutions in Colombia, a problem to win projects such as security systems in Omnilife, which required a reliable megapixel system of 48 channels and continuous recording capacity of up to 120 days.
With the support of Surveon's megapixel solutions, the security system of the Omnilife factory in Colombia was successfully updated without any problems in the integration or recording of IP cameras. With the use of the NVR2000 Series, the user has hardware RAID options for recordings, real-time Video Analytics, and support for industrial-grade megapixel cameras, which gave the integrator reliability and stability to offer a solution to the end user, while minimizing costs and management efforts.
Omnilife is a leading Mexican company in the production of high quality nutritional supplements for nutritional control, weight loss, energizers, detoxifiers, beauty and personal care. It also owns one of the largest dietary supplement manufacturing plants in the world and has a presence in 20 countries, including the United States, Brazil and Spain. In Colombia, it owns an export and processing factory in the city of Caloto, Cauca.
At Omnilife's caloto facility, the number of environments that were not being monitored with a comprehensive solution were several. Traditional DVR solutions were not able to include all the solutions to the new video surveillance needs, and the company began to look for an advanced system that would improve the security of the factory.
The fact that megapixel cameras offer up to 6 times more quality than the image given by analog cameras convinced Omnilife to upgrade its systems with megapixel solutions for factory control.
"We had to deal with many issues from hardware integration to software configuration," said Luis Fernando Arbelaez of R.G. Distribuciones, Surveon's certified distributor in Colombia, who also added that "a project like this is usually a headache for integrators. For example, software is typically unstable working 24/7 on a commercial PC, as well as integration and storage configuration are extremely difficult for traditional security installers. We must commit additional time and resources to the integration and maintenance of the system, and all efforts ultimately involve a higher cost to the end customer."
