Soundwell Centre, Bristol College
Client: City of Bristol College
End User: Bristol College - the Soundwell Centre
Bristol College is the largest College in the South West of England.
SGD Security Ltd have worked with the City of Bristol college for nearly 10 years and always aim to keep the facilities and security team up to speed with the latest technology.
SGD Security Ltd are currently in the process of upgrade their Soundwell Centre campus CCTV recording solution to a complete Bosch solution consisting of a full conversion of all existing analogue cameras utilising a number of the Bosch VIPX1600XF rack mounted IP encoders with the analogue video compressed to H.264.
This encoded video is then recorded to a Bosch DLA ISCSI ???? network attached storage giving very cost effective recording and excellent remote monitoring using the Bosch software.
At the same time we are also installing a number of Bosch VG4 Autodome Pan / tilt / zoom (PTZ) cameras and static 0498 model cameras giving outstanding picture quality during the day and night time thanks to a 20-bit processing power.
The main consideration of this project was integrating this solution into the existing Cisco network with minimal disruption to other software essential to the college’s functions. This was overcome with close liaison between Proficient Systems Ltd, the specialist IT division of the SGD Group, and the college’s IT department.
Also due to some recent construction works some of the external PTZ dome cameras had lost their telemetry control due to a damaged cable. Using the Bosch VIPX1600 with Bilinx technology we were able to regain control of the cameras using the coaxial cable only.
Once completed, City of Bristol College will have access to ‘real-time’ archived CCTV footage from across this campus using the Bosch viewing platform.
