Integrate Campus Security System Should Increase IP Application Value

A survey of the project company revealed that the security systems or teaching systems that currently have integrated cases are mainly: monitoring, alarm, access control, card, parking system, electronic examination room, and multimedia teaching. Among them, the monitoring and alarm integration is common, followed by the integration of access control, and then the integration of card, electronic examination room, parking system, of course, the need for integration of multimedia teaching systems, educational management and integration needs.

Huake Hongtai Liu Hao said, "Integration is also an important reason for IP surveillance systems. IP facilitates integration and linkage with other systems. It can also introduce value-added applications for intelligent video analysis and upgrade to a comprehensive management platform." For example, Huakehong Thailand's participation in a university project in Beijing last year requires the upgrading of the monitoring center to an emergency command center and an integrated command and dispatch system.

Due to the reduction of campus security projects in some provinces and cities, some engineering firms/suppliers focused on the campus market began to explore new business opportunities following changes in the market. Taking Guangfenglong as an example, this year the company’s focus is to continue to work on the education industry informatization project construction, and to promote independent research and development of software products and information system solutions in the education industry in accordance with user needs. Qin Yan introduced, “We now propose The concept of audio and video surveillance technology applied in colleges and universities is not only to meet the single requirements of security monitoring, but to integrate security monitoring, multimedia teaching and broadcasting, examination inspections, teaching observations and long-range open teaching applications, comprehensive planning projects and integration Design integrated solutions to achieve resource sharing of audio and video and network transmission equipment, and information sharing between management platforms of different business departments.” Keda Pengtao also stated that “many system resources are reusable, and our later ideas are: As long as the system is based on video applications, integration can be attempted to reduce or avoid user repetitive investment.” The examination room like the university does not need to be connected to the examination center, and it can be constructed in a way that does not conform to the national examination patrol system standard. Facilitate internal management.

For General School, IP and integration are not the current focus of construction, so the demand is not so urgent, college users are more likely to accept pure IP audio and video transmission technology, due to the large number of people with many secondary units and different functions. Integrated systems that are easy to manage based on IP construction are more appealing.

Integrate the needs of multiple departments and add bright spots for IP applications The integration plan mainly involves three departments: network information center, academic affairs office, security department or security department, and other management departments, such as multiplex cameras or other network equipment. The camera meets the requirements for examination inspections, multimedia teaching, monitoring, and distance learning.

“Using Guangzhou University as an example, the school set up a multimedia classroom earlier, because it did not install security monitoring equipment and lost projectors, computer motherboards, etc. In the second phase of construction, each multimedia classroom added cameras and infrared cameras. Alarm detectors, and the integration of monitoring functions and teaching and recording functions, security personnel can only monitor the images in the multimedia classroom during normal holiday or school hours, and can not see indoor images during class hours and exams, and can only look outside The supervisory image of the supervisor. The principal in charge of the teaching can see the situation of any classroom. In the office, the quality of the teacher’s teaching can be evaluated; the classroom can be monitored in the conference room without the need to go to the scene to attend classes.” Guang Fenglong Qin Yan said.

In addition, college dormitory management is also a hot spot for the application of integrated solutions. The intelligent apartment project of Shandong University, such as Tuoengeng, is currently researching and developing integrated platforms for security, firefighting, power supply, emergency lighting, etc.; there is also dormitory management that integrates channel gates, image capture, and campus cards, and students swipe their cards to enter the dormitory. After the building, the terminal of the dormitory management office can display part of the student's information. Terminals distributed in libraries and other places can also view student-related information.

The status quo is that teaching and security are independent in most projects. On the one hand, the school does not understand that systems can be related to each other. On the other hand, security manufacturers do not understand the application of teaching recording and broadcasting systems, and teaching recording and broadcasting system providers are not familiar with security monitoring applications, which requires the establishment of a communication Bridges, integrating multiple requirements, and the guiding role played by the contractor/integrator are very important.

Integration is faced with a wide range of difficult problems. The difficulty of integration is very large, and the problems encountered by the contractor/integrator are various.

The most typical is that school organization and management do not facilitate system integration. In general, campus security is the responsibility of the security department, multimedia/e-learning management, and one-card access to the network information center. Academic administration is mainly responsible for teaching and classroom arrangement. If there is a lack of a lead department or person in or among the three, it is difficult. Shared resources are available, and the school also lacks complex talents. With regard to the integration of fire protection and security, the Security Department has the deputy director of security, and the deputy director of the fire control department. Each person manages the scope of his responsibility and the suppliers he contacts are different.

In theory, system integration sounds good, but is it practical to use it? Tian Chuan Technology Li Xinwei said, “When the card is swiped, the video will pop up, 10,000 students will swipe, and the images will change quickly. Is it really possible to see them all? One day it is estimated that few people will look at these pop-up video images. Moreover, it is too complicated to operate. It's not necessary. After all, the operators are on-duty personnel, not leaders. Integrating the parking system also has objective obstacles. Some parking systems require billing and involve settlement of amounts. If integrated with other subsystems, the security of the data has potential risks. There have been student library deaths, and the school hopes to observe whether the students are in a specific area within a specified time, such as confirming whether or not to attend class by punching cards, but in reality the cards are not necessarily in the classroom.

Guang Fenglong Qin Yan stated, “We initially hoped to make a complete system, but in the course of the operation, we found that the complete system was also inadequate. If there were problems in the public part, all subsystems would be affected. This is a contradiction.”

How large the market can be brought together by integration is currently unknown. Huake Hongtai Liu Ye said, "We have done a project, the use of monitoring systems for classroom management, the two share an IP camera. But in fact, multimedia teaching is an independent industry, it can cross security only front-end acquisition equipment And the network, backend has its own unique equipment such as recording and broadcasting equipment, courseware production software, etc."
