Integrating Barix network audio devices with video surveillance.
Although many CCTV cameras come equipped with audio input, frequently the camera is positioned in the wrong place for listening to audio: up high on the corner of a building, or on a pole in a car park. The audio doesn't happen up there, unless you are listening to birds!
In one casino in Las Vegas, the cameras were high in the ceiling, but the management was worried about foul play at the gaming tables. Enter Barix Annuncicoms: audio was streamed from the tabletop to the security center where it was recorded, synchronized with the video feed. This allowed the Casino to keep an eye and an ear open, preventing losses that could otherwise have resulted.
In a real world example, microphone equipped Barix Annuncicoms are currently being utilized in the Real-Shot surveillance systems developed by Sony and have successfully been delivering the audio that the Sony cameras have been missing.
Other Barix partners for video surveillance include Milestone Systems, IPconfigure , Sureview Systems and C-Mor
The transmission of the audio and video data occurs through the existing network infrastructure of the building. By adding a Barix Barionet to this system it is possible to create on the spot surveillance triggered by someone going through a secured door, or activating a motion sensor, for example.
The Barix Barionet can interface to necessary sensors and trigger video cameras guarding important doorways so that when the doors are opened, instant video can be transmitted to the command centers for high priority monitoring.
