The E-Plus data center became home to a video surveillance system based on the Axxon Intellect PSIM platform and Brickcom HD cameras. Axxon Intellect is a VMS solution with a modular architecture allowing creation of integrated security systems of any level of complexity.

Owned by Telefonica, E-Plus is a multinational telecom and one of the top three mobile operators in Germany. The company serves over 19 million subscribers. Over 4,700 specialists are employed by the company in Germany. 2012 revenues totalled EUR 3.4 billion. E-Plus was in a situation similar to that faced by many businesses: it needed to update the security and video surveillance systems at the company’s data centre.

The facility was guarded by a patchwork of analog cameras that were located on different networks. E-Plus needed to transform a scattered arrangement of cameras into a modern, integrated system with support for future expansion, hardware additions, and new instruments and functions. Until recently, video at the site was provided by WINMag analogue cameras produced by Honeywell.

New challenges required surveillance with higher resolution and greater support for integration as a part of a flexible integrated security system with support for rapid, situation-dependent configuration changes. Ease of setup and use were driving factors as well.

The client’s choice went to the Intellect Enterprise, developed by AxxonSoft. Axxon Intellect is video management software with a modular architecture, allowing creation of integrated security systems of any level of complexity. […]
