National Gallery of Australia (NGA), home to numerous exquisite and valuable artworks, is a thrilling work of art with subtle exterior and delicate interior design. Initially, a CCTV system was employed to protect gallery assets, but monitoring of the gigantic gallery remained difficult and inefficient. Because the interior of the gallery is frequently changed to accommodate a variety of exhibitions, the CCTV cameras must be redeployed every now and then. Due to cabling, the redeployment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, causing great pain to NGA. Due to the importance of maintaining the structural integrity of the building, NGA needs a solution that can fit in with the decor so as to achieve a balance of good visitor experience and maintain high security levels.
NGA wanted to replace the CCTV system with a flexible system that allows them to add or relocate cameras easily, and capable of providing high image quality for investigative purposes. The system should be able to blend into the interior design and the structure of the building. Zylotech, VIVOTEK's distributor in Australia helped NGA install VIVOTEK's network cameras.
To blend in with the decor, VIVOTEK SD6122s with their dome design were selected. The SD6122s' 10x zoom capability can provide close-up images of minute objects, allowing the operator to identify visitors with ease. Wrapped inside a vandal-proof housing, the SD6122s are firmly protected from burglars' damage.
Some of the SD6122s were added a weather-proof housing for installing outside the building, in the landscaped garden and the parking lots. The housings shield the cameras from rain and dust, enabling them to operate in extreme weather conditions. The SD6122s offer wide pan/tilt movement with continuous 720-degrees pan and 110-degrees tilt, making them suitable for monitoring wide open outdoor spaces.
The new installation solved the cabling problem of the CCTV system for NGA, significantly enhancing their system scalability. The manager can search, record or manage data in a more straightforward way and needs not worry about image quality degradation any more. Good image quality enables manager to make things out easily. Furthermore, the dome design of SD6122s perfectly matches the decor of the building, ensuring visitors best gallery experiences in maximum security.
"With this upgrade we have gone from the Stone Age to a state-of-the-art digital surveillance system and that's what this site should have given the value of what we're protecting.” said O'Sullivan, Manager for security at NGA.

Sony Professional Enhances Channel Support
Sony Professional reinforced its commitment to its reseller community through the expansion of its partner program. Sony believes that working more closely with its Independent Software Vendor (ISV) community will encourage innovation in the security market and the uptake of new products, enabling partners to grow their businesses more effectively.
To date the support scheme has encouraged greater uptake of new security solutions, such as the H.264 codec and Intelligent Video Analysis, which in turn has had a significant impact on the expansion of IP technology. Sony’s Security Solution Portal Site provides technical information including Software Development Kit (SDK), live demonstrations and promotional materials to help its partners’ trial and implement new Sony technology. For example, Sony pioneered the adoption of H.264 compression in the security industry through the release of the first H.264 compatible security cameras line-up in 2006. It now boasts a line-up of eight H.264 compatible cameras and a group of ISVs in Europe that support the codec, or plan to by May 2009. As Wolfgang Baumgartner, CEO, NETAVIS Software said, “NETAVIS system integrators have chosen to use Sony H.264 cameras not only because of quality they offer but because Sony supports H.264 in PTZ cameras.”
Sony is also helping ISVs to realize the full benefits of Intelligent Video Analysis technology. One of the first manufacturers to embed intelligent video analysis technology into its cameras, Sony’s real-time Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture (DEPA) allows users to process content directly after image capture. Users also benefit from intelligent motion detection that helps to reduce false alarms, resulting in improved security and reduced costs. “Sony’s advanced security technology enables us to offer users autonomous, simple and powerful management of video analysis. Moreover, the standardization across the complete Sony range gives all Sony camera users access to the technology regardless of the size of their investment,” said José Savoye, CEO, VISEOX.
"We are also working with our ISVs to incorporate DEPA support into other video management software offerings on the market,” said Yu Kitamura, EMEA Product Manager, Video Security, Sony Professional. “Sony is committed to enabling new customers to benefit from product innovation in the security market. We continue to work closely with ISVs to encourage accessibility and adoption.”
