Mexico. Protection and a high level of security were the key factors for Oficinas Durango, a Mexican company dedicated to providing professional administration and maintenance services for all real estate facilities and corporate buildings, to implement security technologies in one of the buildings it manages, located in Mexico City.
Miguel Arrañaga, Pre-Sales Director of Hikvision Mexico, comments that a corporate building, headquarters of a single company or several, involves a daily transit of people which needs to be classified in order to be able to grant authorization to certain places, since the personnel who work in any of the companies in the building will have greater mobility than those who come as customers.
This management company needed the property to have a comprehensive security system that would help strengthen surveillance services, adapting to the needs of the building.
To cover the requirements in Oficinas Durango, they were provided with a system that bets on generating disruptive models in technology. Miguel Arrañaga explains that they worked in two stages:
1. The first consisted of the placement of 42 Hikvision cameras to identify and deter criminals (Model - DS-2CD2085FWD-I), placed in common areas, corridors, elevators, parking, and main accesses. That's not all, the monitoring service was also included throughout the building, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, inside and outside the usual hours.
2. But each security project has its own particularities, and access control is no exception; that is why the second stage required an access control system that would allow maintaining a secure environment through protected access.
He adds that for this project the Hik-Central platform was implemented, as well as various models of turnstiles, designed to detect unauthorized inputs and outputs. This allows that, in coordination with the access control system, a person can authenticate and pass through the lane by swiping their ID card or by face recognition.
For her part, Dulce María Becerra, administrator of the condominium and Manager of Administration of Durango Offices, recognizes that video surveillance and access control are effective and vital solutions to provide security in work environments and personal spaces: "Without a doubt, the new resources and integral solutions have helped us to prevent, especially to guarantee complete security within the Durango 263 Buildings. We are very happy with Hikvision's solutions and the service provided by the integrator 3Networks. We hope to continue in other projects in the medium term. For now, we have plans to exploit 100% what we have," he says.
