IDIS has delivered a comprehensive IDIS DirectIP™ HD surveillance solution for Majmaah University in Saudi Arabia to enhance safety for students and staff across multiple campus sites
DirectIP™ is an optimised HD surveillance solution based on an IP framework, consisting of IP cameras, NVRs, network equipment and client software as a complete package.
Majmaah University was founded in 2009 as part of a state-sponsored Ministry of Education initiative to meet rising demand for university education and research in Saudi Arabia. The main campus is in Majmaah city, with key satellite sites in Hawtat Sudair and Alghat.
The university security team chose the integrated IDIS DirectIP™ solution in collaboration with expert regional security systems integrator Digital Media. Decisive factors included superior performance and proven capabilities to deliver centralised control, reliable remote monitoring, excellent image quality, rapid video retrieval, optimised use of network bandwidth and low total cost of ownership.
Other key benefits included fast plug-and-play deployment; compatibility of all surveillance systems with video management software IDIS Solution Suite (ISS), ease of use, live and simultaneous video playback, dynamic multi-stream control, multi-view functionality, simultaneous map monitoring, minimal maintenance, and user-friendly diagnostic, administration and reporting capabilities.
The networked solution includes 336 pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ), box, dome and infra-red bullet cameras; 18 network video recorders (NVRs); a suite of ISS Expert servers and clients; and 16 DAS systems. In addition, a new command centre at Majmaah was fully equipped with control equipment including an ISS video wall and 512Ch federation server to provide centralised monitoring across multiple campus sites.
Harry Kwon, general manager of IDIS Middle East and Africa, said, “We are delighted that Majmaah University chose the IDIS DirectIP™ solution. In today’s rapidly expanding and increasingly global university education sector, maintaining a positive reputation as a safe learning environment is vital to the success of any university.
“This news also marks the start of an exciting collaboration between IDIS and Digital Media. Thanks to the in-depth expertise of the Digital Media team, the installation was carried out quickly and smoothly without disruption to routine operations.”
The security manager at Majmaah University added that maximising safety for students and staff and across the campus locations was central to the varsity’s duty of care. “Thanks to the IDIS solution, we can easily and cost-effectively maintain high quality security and provide added peace of mind for our students, faculty members, staff and visitors.”
