| Proposed
Plan for the Installation and Upgrade of CCTV
System for ICI Polymer Fiber Works By Mondial
Security Electronics |
| |
| Overview: |
| |
| At
ICI Polymer Fiber Works around 7 independent
CCTV Systems are installed and working which
comprise a total of 21 cameras, 10 monitors
and other accessories. These systems were
installed by a number of CCTV Companies and
are working at various departments / sections.
However, there exists a lack of a single,
interconnected system. These papers contain
a plan for integrating existing CCTV Systems,
repairing and maintenance, and installation
of newer CCTV System. At the completion of
this proposed plan all the CCTV Systems will
be at the finger tips of any of the executive
and upto 50 users can view each of the system
through their network connected desktop computers
at any time. Additionally, video from some
important cameras will also be recorded on
computer hard disk for future reference. |
| |
| Existing
CCTV System: |
| |
| The
existing CCTV System can be classified into
three sections, namely CP Section, Batch Section
and Polymer Batch Section. A brief description
about each of these sections is as follows
and diagrams of the system may also be viewed
in the attached papers: |
|
 |
|
|
| CCTV
System at CP Section: |
| |
| A
total of 5 CCTV Systems are running in this section. Two
cameras in special outdoor housing are installed in Chipper
section and these are viewed in DCS Room by two monitors.
A camera is installed in Crimper 4 section which is viewed
on a monitor through a video switcher at ground floor
of CP Shift Coordinator. Another camera is installed in
Bailer 4 section which is viewed on a monitor at the ground
floor of CP Shift Coordinator. Two cameras at ground floor,
two at first floor and one in cutting section are connected
to a video switcher and monitor at CP Shift Coordinator
Room. The cameras at Bailer 4 and Crimper 4 are also wired
to the CP Shift Coordinator Room but at the time of survey
the connection seemed to be out of order. The main issue
in this area is the immense heat being emitted from the
plant equipment, which leads to frequent defects in the
CCTV equipment. Our proposal to rectify this is to install
all cameras in outdoor housing and connect each housing
with the air conditioning / cooling duct, which will keep
the cameras cool at all times. |
| |
| CCTV
System at Batch Shift Coordinator: |
| |
| Batch
Shift Coordinator consists of two CCTV Systems. The monitors
of both systems are installed in Batch Shift Coordinator
Room, while the cameras of first system i.e. three cameras
are installed in Cutters. Three cameras of second CCTV
system are installed in Spinning Banks, and three at Bailer
1, Bailer 2 and Bailer 3. At the time of survey all three
of the cameras in Bailer Section were out of order. So
a total of six cameras and one monitor were operating
at the time of survey, however, the cameras were out of
focus and one of the switcher was giving electric shock. |
| |
| CCTV
System at Polymer Batch: |
| |
| This
is a recently installed system is working perfectly. Three
cameras installed in Polymer Batch Section inside outdoor
housings are being viewed by two switchers and monitors
independently in the main Control Room. Two switchers
and monitors are provided so that at any time two users
can view any of the three cameras. |
| |
| New Proposal: |
| |
| Under
the extension plan all the existing CCTV Systems will
be brought into order and they will be linked to the Local
Area Network using existing computers so that they may
be viewed from anywhere in the Network. Additionally,
new systems will be installed in CP Shift Coordinator,
Time Office, Admin Block, Main Gate and Polymer Processing
Plant. The system at Polymer Processing Plant is worth
to mention here as it will be installed with video motion
detection and any unauthorized movement in the restricted
area will be detected, recorded and notified. These new
CCTV Systems will also be connected to the Local Area
Network for remote access. At the completion of the job
a total of eight CCTV Systems will be accessible through
Network comprising of total 52 cameras. The diagrams of
the new CCTV Systems may also be viewed in the attached. |
| |
| CCTV
System for Admin Block and Main Gate: |
| |
| Camera
# 1 may be installed inside the IT Room to monitor and
record all the movements inside this room. Camera # 2
may be installed in the reception to monitor incomings
and outgoings in the Admin Block. Camera # 3 may be installed
in Stair Case of 1st Floor to monitor and record movement
in that area. Two cameras with special zoom lenses may
be installed at the top of Admin Block, one will provide
a wide angle view of Main Gate and Security Office, while
the other will provide a zoomed view of Main Gate to note
the exact number of incoming and out going cars. The sequential
video of the cameras in this section may be recorded on
Local Computer Hard Disk and may be streamed to LAN through
a computer for remote access. |
| |
| CCTV
System for Time Office: |
| |
| Two
cameras may be installed in time office to monitor movement
of personnel and vehicles inside and outside the office.
Camera # 1 may cover inside the Time Office while Camera
# 2 may cover the gate at Time Office to monitor the traffic.
The sequential video of the cameras in this section may
be recorded on Local Computer Hard Disk and may be streamed
to LAN through a computer for remote access. |
| |
| Extension
of CCTV System in CP Shift Coordinator 1: |
| |
| CCTV
System in CP Shift Coordinator after repair and proper
service may be connected to a computer available in that
section to connect it with the LAN. |
| |
| CCTV
System for CP Shift Coordinator 2: |
| |
| A
new CCTV System comprising of eight cameras, one video
switcher and monitor may be installed to cover the rest
of the CP Shift Coordinator. This system will be connected
to a computer in that section and will be streamed over
the LAN for remote access. As an alternate program instead
of running two CCTV System in CP Shift Coordinator which
require a total of two computers a single system may be
developed by using a 16 Channel Video Switcher but this
will increase the switching time and may be inconvenient
for the end user. For the time being this alternate plan
is not proposed. |
| |
| Extension
of CCTV System in Chipper and DCS Room: |
| |
| The
two cameras in Chipper section after proper repair and
maintenance may be connected to a computer in DCS Room
using a Video Switcher and streamed over LAN for remote
access. |
| |
| Extension
of CCTV System for Batch Shift Coordinator: |
| |
| Cameras
in Batch Shift Coordinator Section after repair and maintenance
may be connected to a computer available in Batch Shift
Coordinator Room to stream the sequential videos over
LAN for remote access. However, instead of 8 Channel Video
Switcher a newer 12 Channel Video Switcher may be used
to allow cameras in spinning banks, bailers and cutters
for remote access. |
| |
| Extension
of CCTV System for Polymer Batch: |
| |
| CCTV
System in Polymer Batch section may also be connected
to a computer available in that section and streamed over
LAN for remote access. |
| |
| CCTV
System for Polymer Processing Plant: |
| |
| 16
cameras and multiplexer with motion detection may be installed
in Polymer Processing Plant to view and secure the restricted
and mission critical areas in that section. Originally
PIR sensors were to be used for motion detection in that
area but at the time of survey it was observed that there
is too much heat being radiated by the plant equipment
which may cause infra red noise and may lead to false
alarming. So a better plan with video motion detection
incorporated inside the multiplexer may be used. Restricted
and Critical areas may be marked inside the multiplexer
and in case of motion in those areas the multiplexer will
trigger a signal which will be given to the computer and
software in that computer will record the video for a
specified period of time on the Local Hard Disk. In addition
the sequential or multiplexed video will be streamed over
LAN for remote access. |
| |
| Video
Network: |
| |
| After
the completion of the job a total of eight Video Servers
or nodes will be available on the Local Area Network.
The current speed of the network is 100Mbps, each node
will cover at most 768Kbps and all eight if accessed simultaneously
by 50 users will cover 768Kbps x 8 = 6144Kbps or 6Mbps.
Thus theoretically the network performance for other tasks
will not be disturbed. It is worth to mention here that
using conventional video communication systems like the
one used in Microsoft Netmeeting the same quality of video
stream may consume more than 2Mbps per node. The bandwidth
consumption is reduced by employing Microsoft’s latest
Video Compression Codecs like ISO MPEG-4 V1, Windows Media
MPEG-4 V3, Windows Media V7 and Windows Media V8. One
important issue however will be the performance of the
computers being used for Video Server. Our experience
have shown that while video streaming or broadcasting
if these computers are used for other resource intensive
applications then it is found that Windows will cause
trouble and may crash. On the software end we will try
our best to prevent this, but if such a problem is experienced
at any computer then a solution will be either to prevent
that computer from being used for other applications or
reduce the resolution of the video being broadcasted.
Reducing the video resolution is however a better solution
but at the cost of poor CCTV view. This problem may be
solved by viewing low resolution video in motion and if
required still high resolution pictures may be captured
and viewed remotely. However, such solution will only
be required if there is some serious problem with the
PC at any section. |

| Working
Plan: |
| |
| Since
this is a large plan and a path breaker in Pakistan and
requires a both physical and software development work,
so to make it more workable, it may be divided into following
independent jobs. We have planned to take one project
at a time complete it and get payment for that project
and then work on the next. |
