The challenge was accepted by Juan Antonio Álvarez, General Manager of Bast Solutions, who presented the proposal with solutions from Dahua Technology. “Dahua’s artificial intelligence technology made it possible to meet the needs of Aerocharter for both on-site and mobile video surveillance, and for access control in different areas of the company,” said Álvarez.

Solution

To date, Dahua Technology systems have been implemented in 19 of 38 Aerocharter facilities, while a monitoring center in CDMX with a two-month storage capacity manages all the information.

The video surveillance system in warehouses includes PTZ cameras with artificial intelligence, which enables monitoring and a box counting algorithm. In ramp services, operators use cameras to guarantee the best practices in cargo handling, while mobile cameras and recorders are used in the collection vehicles to provide video evidence of the transfer processes. The access control system provides a real-time supervision of the flow of personnel in warehouses, maintenance bases, spare parts warehouses, and storage areas for valuable items.

“In large projects, we solved difficulties with Dahua Technology’s engineering team, particularly in mobile video surveillance where we achieved excellent results,” Álvarez mentioned.

Results

With these systems providing greater security in the processes of logistics and the safeguarding of goods, the commercial relationship between Aerocharter and Viva Aerobús has been strengthened. Better practices realized by the new solution provided by Dahua Technology helped Aerocharter expand its business opportunities and attract new international clients.

In addition to the benefits from surveillance system, the direct impact on the business is an added value that Aerocharter has found in Dahua Technology solution. For example, it has managed to minimize the incidence of loss or theft of merchandise; in the ramp areas, the productivity of workers has increased; in the disembarkation area, there is greater care in handling luggage, when the maintenance frequency of the gondolas that transport the suitcases has been reduced; In the ramp assistance lines, the theft of belongings inside the cargo compartment of the plane was eradicated.

“The implementation of the system is still lacking in 19 more Aerocharter facilities, however, with the results obtained, the client is already thinking of expanding the project,” Álvarez added.

Therefore, a reliable security systems is necessary to ensure the safety of its facilities and patients, and to enhance operational efficiency.

With its 165 years of operation, the Real Hospital Português de Beneficência in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco is considered to be the most complete medical center in the Northern and Northeastern regions of Brazil. Offering medical excellence and fully equipped devices, it provides top-notch medical services and hospitality to its customers.

Such a legacy of excellence cannot be achieved without updating its medical services and implementing safety modernization for patients, employees and its facilities. Led by the hospital’s Property Security Management and STI, with the assistance of Brazilian company Redecam Sistemas, a new video monitoring project has started.

Challenges

With a total area of more than 130,000 m², the hospital has 5,600 employees and 2,000 doctors, serving approximately 15,000 emergency services, 2,500 hospitalizations and 1,500 surgeries per month. For this reason, the security system should be robust enough to keep up with the uninterrupted pace of hospital operations – from admission to discharge.

Solution

In order to achieve platform migration and expansion to adapt and improve its video monitoring technologies, the hospital’s Property Security Management has designed a project combining 800 IP cameras from Dahua Technology, including DH-IPC-HDBW1220EN, DH-IPC-HDBW1230EN and DH-IPC-HFW5431EN-Z. The models have been chosen because of their outstanding quality, cost-effective features and advanced technologies such as image filters, IR and motion detection which fully meet the project requirements.

With technical support from Redecam Sistemas, these devices were mainly installed indoors and in corridors for general monitoring and process control. Another set was installed for strategic purposes in outdoor areas such as parking lots, vehicle entry/exit areas, open areas with large flow of people and surrounding areas with buildings.

“The Dahua Technology’s cameras have several features and functionalities that provide us with different experiences in handling images, enabling us to obtain the best images in different environment conditions. With the quality of the presented images, we can more sensitively calibrate the different resources available in each solution,” explains André Silva, manager at Redecam Sistemas.

Regarding image quality, the expert adds that IR and WDR offers excellent performance and are essential features of the cameras, especially in low light environments. In some scenarios, Real Hospital Português uses the corridor format, which offers high-quality playback and can reduce the use of resources.

Results

The Dahua system offering excellent image performance and user-friendly platform enables an optimized surveillance operation in the Real Hospital Português de Beneficência. At the same time, it also assists the hospital in providing better services for visitors and patients, as explained by André Silva: “The security plan was designed to meet the transition requirements for a modern and effective platform that covers the institution’s security integration, control and operations. Dahua Technology has met the project needs with cameras offering the best cost-benefit advantages combined with the best technologies available for tracking.”

In addition, the hospital’s parking lot now equipped with LPR cameras achieves excellent results and satisfies what was required in the project. “We have acquired Pinhole cameras for the parking gate terminals. For LPR cameras, in addition to quality, we highlight the filter features that minimize the impacts of different lighting levels and vehicle headlights,” André Silva added, who has also commented that some fish-eye cameras are also being tested for the same application.

With open technology, Dahua Technology’s solutions have been integrated with both third-party cameras and the SecurOS^TM Enterprise software, which becomes one of the project’s strengths. “The SecurOS^TM Enterprise platform and Dahua Technology’s cameras have provided an environment that meets the scale and needs of the project, combining quality, reliability and scalability which might be the challenges that new CCTV technologies present for the future and continuity of the project,” André Silva explained.

Thinking about the future, the next step may include expanding the number of cameras according to the needs and growth of the Real Hospital Português’ physical areas, which will benefit the institution with enhanced analytical resources, image correction filters and greater savings in bandwidth and storage.

It is no doubt that one of the oldest and most traditional hospitals in Pernambuco could soon be the first 4.0 hospital in the region, and Dahua Technology is in preparation with the necessary technologies to make this happen.
