Mobotix Cameras and Overland Storage used for Large Security Deployment at College

MOBOTIX AG, a leading manufacturer of digital high-resolution, network-based video security systems has released details of a project at Catmose College which has improved the safety of students and staff through integrated CCTV security installed as part of a new £24m campus. The College design is one of only three published designs to receive an overall ‘Good’ rating from the CABE School Design Review.

The project consists of 27 MOBOTIX cameras including Q24 Hemispheric and D24 models for internal security with video footage stored on a 20TB Overland NAS server. The solution is used for monitoring corridors and common areas.

MOBOTIX was selected based on its suitability to the tender criteria. The 3 Megapixel image quality combined with full 360-degree hemispheric coverage allowed the designers to use a single camera to cover entire rooms, multiple corridors and reduce the number of units to a minimum. Across the 11,500 Sq m site, the project needed only 27 cameras to provide complete coverage. The initial estimations considered using 60 cameras for this task.
