The challenge:

Designing and implementing an independent surveillance, analysis and security system for 6 construction sites of the company STRABAG, which carries out the construction of the ring road no. 20 in Warsaw
Starting-up the system in areas with difficult access, where there is no fixed access to 230V power supply
Preparing the security plan and response procedures in cases of unwanted events
Collecting information concerning construction processes to make improvements by eliminating irregularities and improving work effectiveness
Implemented solution is to replace current traditional security teams decreasing security costs by 20% and implement completely new construction site management tools

Solution:

16 IMVD were installed and put into operation (partially using current installation infrastructure to reduce installation costs)
16 AKUBOX were installed
Video analysis criteria were agreed upon
Video detection algorithms were programmed
Operational procedures were developed
The system was launched in 24/7 mode
Automated alarm systems were made available for the Response Teams
The on-line preview was made available for authorised employees of the client
Reporting methods were agreed upon

Products used:

… The company SOPHUS Sp. z o.o. has
a high-quality video detection equipment required to carry out commissioned tasks,
as well as they engage qualified staff, who has proven to be very professional when carrying out the ordered services.
The use of the SOPHUS system in
the above-mentioned Contract increased quality of the construction site security services as the equipment of the SOPHUS system has a wider reach than physical security. Compared to physical security,
the video detection system is more reliable for us. What is more, the solution allowed us to decrease costs incurred for
the construction site security as the system leasing is a cheaper solution than services provided under standard security services to which physical security workers are engaged.
Therefore, we recommend the company SOPHUS Sp. z o.o. as a reliable and dependable partner, and in particular, technical solutions within security and visual monitoring areas offered by the company.
