Colombia. SYTEC SAS, an electronic security installation firm, started a CCTV project in different locations of the Coexito company during a pandemic. To date, it has covered more than 70 points nationwide and has achieved a significant reduction in thefts of around 60%.
Lince Comercial, the official information spokesperson, indicated that during this project the standardization of alarms and closed circuit television was carried out with a pilot project in 70 "energitecas" nationwide and 6 dispatch centers, or main warehouses of distribution, spaces in which 5 cameras were installed, 1 NVR with 8 POE channels for each energy source and a DSC pro alarm system with lc104 dual technology sensors, smoke sensors and key panic.
In general, the technology involved for this improvement of the security systems was from the manufacturers DSC and DAHUA. It is also worth mentioning that the project began in February 2020, so the benefit data reported in this text correspond to the results obtained from that date until this publication (March 2023).
Project details
According to Lince, the end customer, Coexito, is a company dedicated to the commercialization of spare parts and fast mechanics for vehicles with offices nationwide, which have been called "energy."
The relevance of this client is that to date it has more than 60 years of experience, but it had some old alarms with deficient installations that generated repair costs and false alerts, hence the installation of new CCTV systems, alarm , access and an evacuation kit with high quality standards and aligned with current regulations.
"The client's network was used to integrate the security systems in its own monitoring center with 1 (one) alarm server (Power Manager) and 1 DSS video server."
Other relevant data is that this project had 600 cameras, 86 NVRs, 86 hard drives, 600 motion sensors, 86 panic buttons, 82 DSC PRO alarm panels, 82 sirens, 16,000 meters of Cat Dahua cable, 24,000 meters of cable alarm system, 6 Video Wall screens and 82 Dahua monitors.
Technical description
"The products installed with its optimization reduced claims by 53% and false alarms by 95%, as well as the operating costs of changing users, cancellations and delivered total alarm control, in addition to IP CCTV."
An interesting fact is that the recovery of the investment was reflected 24 months after the start of the project.
However, "with the standardization of locations, brands and security processes, the system became highly efficient, having the same description of zones and location of cameras nationwide."
In general, the objective of this project was to increase the security standards with the client's network infrastructure and give them full control of the operation, but without operational costs, while having Backup of the different locations for an average duration of 90 days. . In addition, it was also sought and managed to include artificial intelligence for the protection of high-risk perimeters.
Results obtained
Finally, although Lince clarifies that the final client chose the aforementioned technology due to the cost/benefit ratio, it stands out that it will provide significant commercial consolidation and a 60% reduction in illegal activities, something remarkable when taking into account that the project was carried out in Pandemic, with the logistical difficulties and locative permits that this implied, since Colombia was one of the countries that maintained confinement for the longest time.
