posted on 15/10/2007

DVTel, Inc., has announced that North Carolina State University (NC State) has deployed the DVTel Latitude Network Video Management System (NVMS) to provide video surveillance throughout the entire campus.

Delhi Police deploys city IP surveillance project
posted on 08/10/2007

Delhi is a city of 13.8 million spread over 1500 square kilometers (580 sq. mi.) with more vehicles than the three metros of Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata combined. Such a huge city with this level of traffic has enormous surveillance challenges. Dr KK Paul, Commissioner of Delhi Police said, “Delhi today has more than 31,000 kilometers (19,250 miles) of roads and 4.8 million registered vehicles, therefore deployment of such remote surveillance systems in Delhi have become a necessity.” DVTel, Inc. has announced the successful deployment of a highly ambitious city surveillance project with the Indian Police in the city of Delhi. Delhi-based Turbo Consultancy Services, Ltd. is the systems integrator on the project. In the initial project phase, the Indian Police installed a mix of DVTel PTZ and fixed IP cameras in nine locations around the city.

Melbourne City Council upgrades Safecity Camera Program with DVTel Latitude Network Video Management System
posted on 05/10/2007

The Melbourne City Council has deployed the DVTel Latitude Network Video Management System (NVMS) to upgrade its already successful Safecity Camera Program. SNP installed and commissioned the Safecity DVTel system. When first installed in 1997, the Safecity Camera Program’s CCTV system was cutting edge. A key element was a fiber cable plant installed in a star configuration that took advantage of the Council’s infrastructure to future-proof existing camera locations, arguably for decades to come. The upgrade to a new digital solution has proven the wisdom of the Council’s investment. Now, with that original fiber optic signal path mated to the new DVTel NVMS head end, Melbourne City Council’s solution is positioned to take advantage of its legacy PTZ cameras with no need to choke performance to meet bandwidth restrictions imposed at the network switch. In performance terms, the DVTel-driven solution delivers 4 CIF at 25 frames per second (PAL) on all inputs. That means simu... [more]
