Video surveillance gets smarter in Verbania

Video surveillance gets smarter in Verbania

The challenge

Verbania, the capital of the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, was created when the towns of Intra and Pallanza merged.  As one of the most idyllic and famous tourist destinations on Lake Maggiore, the town relies heavily on holidaymakers to fill its streets and generate income.

The regular influx of visitors means greater attention must be given to the security of people as they go about their business, whether recreational or professional.  This was the motivation behind the town council's decision to trust in Security Consultant Mario Grippa's recommendation to launch a community surveillance project based on a system of network cameras.  For image transmission, he also suggested trialling an innovative alternative to conventional cabling systems.  Mario Grippa also advises Milan city council on its traffic control and management system.

The solution

The decision was made to design a video surveillance system for monitoring certain strategic locations in the town (which has the peculiarity of being divided into several sections), including streets and critical zones such as pedestrian walkways, ferry terminals and the dock area.  An invitation to tender was issued, first for the selection of innovative cabling technologies and subsequently for an intelligent camera network.  With regards to the latter system, the council opted for Sony and its new SNC-RX550 cameras.  The cameras incorporate intelligent image analysis functions and possess a number of innovative features.  They have high sensitivity to provide clear images even in lowlight conditions, and a powerful 26x optical zoom to guarantee coverage of wide areas with exceptional image clarity.
