His father it will control traffic with Mobotix teams
on April 20, 2011
This project arose from the need identified by the municipality of Paterna of measuring and controlling the density of traffic in certain ways of access to the town as well as some residential areas, and do so without having to install barriers or bollards.
"We had not thought exactly in the solution but we had it clear that we didn't want to fill the city of barriers." "They impede traffic and they may pose a danger in case of emergency," explains Vicente Arenes, Councillor for security of the municipality of Paterna.
With this initial aim, Osmoca Valencia put hands to work. After an exhaustive analysis of the key points which had to place cameras such as the entrances to the urban case in the housing estates, and model of cameras that better served the required needs, proceeded to the installation of the same.
"We are committed to high resolution of Mobotix IP cameras, which allow to get some pictures of great quality, and that, in addition, have a robust housings that make them ideal cameras to be on the outside and not be damaged", says Francisco Izquierdo, Manager of Osmoca Valencia. "What we had to look good is the camera model that we had to install in each case as each model has different features that respond to diverse needs."
So they chose model M12 to points outside of the city because it's a dual camera with two sensors that allows to obtain high resolution images both day and night, with bright and crisp colors of the day, and images in high sensitivity at night black and white. In this way the images are collected and make the reading of data, without any problems and under any circumstances.
Also 3 cameras have been installed in the interior and at the door of the police station, but in this case have been selected other models, the Hemispheric Q24 camera, most suitable for interior, and whose most notable features, as well as of all the Mobotix camerasIt is your discreet, modern and original design as well as its ability to simultaneously view 360º and display the image correctly thanks to its panoramic correction.
In total 16 cameras, all Mobotix, "high-tech German" have been introduced: 13 model M12 cameras strategically distributed by the various points of access of the town, and 2 cameras Hemispheric Q24, and 1 of the model M24, to control the interior and access to the police station.
For an effective system has combined the most advanced technology on three fundamental pillars of Visiona Security that would allow the reading of license plates on the move, to make the registration without stopping traffic, even at some speed and both day and night, high resolution of Mobotix cameras allowing high image quality, and a broadband communications with Wimax technology to guarantee a constant transfer of images.
Security enhancements
Although the initial function of the cameras is to manage and regulate the traffic, above all to control the access to Paterna and estates, this display of Mobotix cameras with multiple functionality has been an increase in the city's security measures.
Thanks to the high resolution of the same, and built-in software you can read the registration of vehicles by allowing is to know the detail information of all cars entering the city.
Images that contain cameras arrive at the control centre of the Local police of Paterna, located in the polygon source of the jug, which is also available to the Civil Guard and national police. There is the system of access control that consists of two screens, one where displayed photographs of the controlled areas, and one which will appear a list of all vehicles passing by this road, with the corresponding registration that has detected the system.
The system detects license plates from the police database and if it's an enrollment that corresponds to a car or motorcycle in search, either because it has been stolen or is suspect, immediately jumps the alert and the Police Act. All of this to conform to the criteria of the Spanish Agency of data protection and regulatory legislation of the use of cameras by the security forces and bodies.
Proven efficacy
Already it has proven the effectiveness of this system that has made it possible to provide evidence in a trial. The police could identify against an offender with a history in assaults on villas and apartments thanks to images from the cameras. After arresting the accused of theft was found in the images of cameras the vehicle driving had agreed to the place of occurrence coinciding with several of the reported theft.
"It's a pioneer in the Valencian Community system". Comment sources of the City Council. "In fact, after the success and after receiving a positive response from the population of Paterna, is under the extension of the project to install them also in other parts of the town on business and industrial areas".
"We are very proud of the results of the introduction, is a pioneer who is contributing much to the town." "In fact, the municipality of Paterna is very satisfied with the effectiveness of the system." Explains Francisco Izquierdo, Manager of Osmoca Valencia. "We are convinced that they will be many Councils to join these measures, we are already working on other similar projects both of public enterprise and private".
