MOBOTIX Video Door Station to
secure luxury development
T24.jpgMOBOTIX AG, a
leading manufacturer of
digital high-resolution,
network-based video security
systems has released details of
a successful implementation
of its T24 Door Station
technology at the prestigious
City Harbour development in
London Docklands to provide
security and peace of mind
for tenants within 86 luxury
apartments.
Following several breakdowns
of the old entry system, Parc
Properties, the management
agency for the block, began to
investigate alternative solutions.
NIMATA, a specialist in access
technologies, was selected to
deliver a video entry phone
solution based on MOBOTIX
technology. The project also
included the installation of
a high speed broadband to
provide additional value to
tenants at City Harbour.
The MOBOTIX T24 video entry
phone units at each door are
connected via an internal IP
network to deliver bi-directional
audio and high resolution
colour video to Grandstream
IP based video phones within
each apartment. From the
video phone, tenants can see
and communicate with any
visitors and open the front door
remotely.
The seven MOBOTIX T24
units used in the project
include a high resolution digital
camera, keypad and systems
to interface with the door lock
release mechanism. With
3.1 megapixels and internal
memory, the hemispheric
door camera records the entire
entrance area from wall to wall
and from floor to ceiling with no
blind spots.
Each T24 also has a built in
SIP server to allow the camera
to communicate with the video
phone in each apartment.
However, this basic SIP server
only has a limited number
of connections, so NIMATA
developed its own SIP server
appliance to interface with the
M24 to manage up to a 1000
connections from a single
video entry unit. This also
has the advantage of allowing
every apartment to contact any
neighbour as well as the porter
directly from the video phone
without incurring any calling
charges.
MOBOTIX is the pioneer
of a decentralised approach
to CCTV which simplifies
installation and operational
considerations while improving
overall security and reliability.
