State-of-the-art video security for mines/plants

May 2001 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

Remote locations no longer deny companies access to state-of-the-art technology. The latest integrated systems installation by Intervid, a listed visual technology company, illustrates some of the challenges overcome to offer clients effective video security and management solutions.

Intervid's integrated solution has important advantages in industries requiring high security zone protection:

* Operators are managed by the system, which makes random selections on staff searches.

* While mine management can augment the system, they cannot interrupt it. In other words, supervisors may request additional searches to those required by the system, but cannot override the random search request.

* Adoption of this 'arms length' solution minimises intimidation and collaboration.

The sophisticated levels of maintenance give the application detailed focus on the system controls. With system management by Intervid, industries benefit from third party management by system experts, whose primary interest is the well-being of the client, and client assets.

Smart technology software ensures that all events are random, recorded and audited. Sophisticated search capacity means that the days of time-consuming video material searches are over. Within seconds, the required selection of events can be isolated and studied for detail, providing clients with irrefutable evidence, documented and specific.

The independent central control room, situated off site, is the nerve centre for mine management. Remote control of cameras all over the site enhance control as well as productivity. This advanced management tool includes the following elements:

* Intervid front end, user-friendly interface and integration: All seamlessly integrated in a 'black box' that records and details the 'flight path' of the drivers of the system.

* Time and attendance/admission: Details required by the client can be recorded on smartcards that are swiped, as admission is required to different zones. Verification and authorisation as well as record and surveillance are built in.

* Face recognition: No borrowing of cards, or cribbing systems. Just the plain facts.

* Number plate recognition: Vehicle access control taps into the same range of sophisticated software tools as selected by the client.

* Conpass scanner: radiation safety features as well as high resolution and capacity in scanning fully clothed individuals.

* Manpower tracking: At any point, man tracker enables detailed information about the whereabouts of personnel, especially important to have quick access to in the event of accidents.

Old style mine policing of a few years ago is a feature of the past. Clients using sophisticated technology can harness the potential of the future, as well as see significant improvements in their profitability. A rare win-win position for the integrated service provider and his client.
