Hybrid IP Video and DVR Solution for Oil & Gas Company, OilFab Bhd in Westport, Malaysia.
EKTECH together with SI Partner, Covista Resources, successfully implemented a hybrid CCTV system utilizing an analogue Digital Video Recorder and Cameras with IP Video Servers to stream video signal wirelessly from the cameras, in Westport, Port Klang, Malaysia.
OilFab, the customer, had 2 Speed Dome out of 16 cameras, located long distance in the fabrication yard.
Cabling works would be difficult and expensive, so the customer opted for a wireless solution.
EKTECH implemented a wireless IP solution using ACTi IP Video Servers to stream the video signal to the DVR in the control room. The video signal is then converted back to analogue using ACT's IP Video Transcoder, to be recorded on the Guardian Angel DVR. The customer has the ability to control the PTZ Speed Dome using an analogue keyboard.
Apart from requiring a hybrid solution, the customer also requested for Realtime Recording at the highest resolution, we achieved this by using Acti Realtime IP Video, streamed at 25 FPS in Mpeg-4 ASP and our Guardian Angel Realtime Recording DVR recording at 25FPS in Mpeg-4 H.264 High Resolution format.
An internet connection to the DVR allows Senior Management to view and control the PTZ Speed Dome which allows them to see the progress of the oil rig fabrication remotely.
