The Defense Organization In Vietnam Relies On Matrix IP Cameras And NVRs For Surveillance

The Defense Organization in Hanoi, Vietnam needed a comprehensive surveillance system to improve their day-to-day operations and enhance overall security. The Center had specific requirements for the configuration of the video surveillance system.

Certain areas in the Center were considered sensitive as they required a high level of security. The cameras in these areas had to be configured in such a way that only the senior management staff could access them. However, the rest of the cameras had to be configured to allow access for other technical management staff and security guards.

To keep a watchful eye on the cameras, NVRs with ample storage space were also a need. The cameras in sensitive areas required NVRs that ensured continuous operation and backup to avoid any kind of security breach. At the same time, the video footage from the unrestricted areas also had to be monitored to keep records and ensure safety.

Finding a reliable security solution that is not sourced from either a Chinese or Korean brand was another noteworthy challenge faced by the Defense Organization because Vietnamese regulations require imported products to meet certain safety, quality, and technical standards before they can be used in the country.

Matrix experts helped the Defense Organization in building a reliable security infrastructure. The team worked with the Defense officials right from the design stage to understand their requirements better.

As the Organization is spread across a large area, the cameras had to be installed strategically in order to get maximum coverage. 40 Professional Series 2MP Bullet IP Cameras were installed at different points to keep a security check at all the outdoor locations. These cameras were also used to keep a check on the entry and exit points. Similarly, 40 Professional Series 2MP Dome IP Cameras were installed in such a way that they covered the indoor locations. Out of all the 80 IP cameras, 10 IP Cameras were installed in the sensitive areas of the Center that had restricted access.

The user-defined roles and rights feature in Matrix NVRs allows for the creation of unique users, each having a specific user ID and password. Hence, unique user IDs were created each for the senior management staff, the technical management staff, and the guards. Each user had been granted pre-defined access to cameras based on their roles.

Using this feature, Matrix SATATYA NVR1601X was configured to provide restricted video footage access only to senior management staff for 10 cameras in sensitive areas, ensuring that sensitive footage was viewed only by authorized personnel.

The rest of the cameras were configured with Matrix SATATYA NVR3202X which provided open access to the guards and the technical management teams. Matrix SATATYA NVRs come with an in-built Video Management Software (VMS). All users could log in simultaneously to the system but could only access the specific predefined cameras based on their roles.

Furthermore, two monitors were placed near the gate which displayed live footage from the camera, allowing for easy monitoring of the security system.
