The Customer
Commenced in 2016, the largest business club was built with smart infrastructure and modern amenities, in the futuristic town of
Kolkata, to provide leisure-cum-business conducive atmosphere to their members and visitors. The contemporary building of
business club is spread over 10 acres area and serves as a cultural, commercial, and business hub in the region. Having beautiful
landscape, it attained tremendous popularity due to its high-end specifications, green landscape, wedding lawn, tennis court,
cafeteria, business center to name a few.

The Challenge
With a consistently large volume of patrons visiting the business club for various events, security is the vital component of the
successful operations at the site. The customer has been relying heavily on analog video surveillance to secure its facilities and
workforce. Due to its limited scalability, there was no way to do realtime surveillance throughout the premises. Moreover, every
incident recorded by the video cameras required time-consuming manual investigation, therefore, causing delay in decision-making.
 The Solution
Aiming to advancing the surveillance solution, the customer wanted to make an investment that maintains a watchful eye, manages
threats/incidents proactively while integrating existing and new systems into an unified interface. After a thorough evaluation of various
solutions offered by various companies, it was Videonetics that came out on top. Thanks to Videonetics Unified Video
ManagementPlatform that blends Video Management System, Video Analytics and seamless integration of existing analog system
into one user-friendly solution, able to grow effortlessly with customers’ need over time.

1. 24x7 Security with granular details & incident response management

Today, Videonetics VMS is managing 100+ cameras including PTZ network camera, dome cameras, fixed cameras, and bullet cameras,
installed throughout the interior as well as exterior of the premises. In addition, 32 legacy analog cameras are also integrated into the
unified solution, eventually providing centralized control of the cameras to the security operators. The in-built failover and redundancy
features of Videonetics VMS ensure the operators to always have access to live and recorded video. This means if any incident occurs,
they can always have evidence of it.

a) Zero Blind Spot at Entrance & Surroundings:

The Video Analytics is helping operators to detect vehicles which are wrongly parked in ‘restricted’ or ‘no parking’ zones, at the outside
of premise. For the perimeter security at entry & exit gates, the PTZ camera tracking helps in detecting unusual behaviour of the person
and provides alert to security operators for faster action. At the entrance, face capture has been installed to detect a person in the scene
and locates his/her face, which is saved in the database, indexed and time stamped. In addition, vehicle capture is deployed to track
and record license plates of vehicles along with time and date, entering the premise.

b) Watchful eyes at Business Club Facilities:

The business club needed a solution that could help it identify theft, intrusion and trespassing throughout its facilities. In the first phase
of the project, Videonetics along with stakeholders of business club and system integrator identified sensitive areas, requiring immediate
security system.

• To monitor suspicious activities, zone monitoring has been enabled at the fence of tennis court, lawn, emergency gates and open field
area. Operators will be notified if a person stays beyond a certain duration in a user-marked zone.

• To combat unauthorized entry in generator room, operators gets alert if any intrusion happens in a marked area. Similarly, unusual
activities are also being monitored in this area through loitering detection.

• At the peripheries of the business club, trespassing detection has been deployed to detect if any person intrudes into a premise. The
system is well capable to trace trajectory of the trespasser and prevent incident before it occurs.

• The authorities wanted to have an alert in case, any mob formation happens at the field area, known as forbidden region, of the club.
Crowd formation detection has been deployed that estimates density of people in a scene and generated an alert as soon as the density
in any defined area crosses a certain limit.

2. Empowering officials with web and mobile application

• The ease of use of Videonetics unified solution has been instrumental to the business club. The operators and senior authorities are
efficiently accessing videos anytime and anywhere, through an intuitive interface of Videonetics VMS web and mobile applications.
At the time of incidents, operators can handle alarms and manage events, therefore, reducing manual checks of cases and helping to
expedite investigations.
The Imapct
After various phases of implementation, installation, and testing, the Videonetics unified solution went into live operation. Since upgrading
to Videonetics unified solution, the business club has been able to better handle incidents of thefts/intrusion and apprehend suspects.
Therefore, the level of security has been lifted by allowing the early detection of incidents and monitoring the premises round-the-clock,
even in the harsh environmental condition. Furthermore, the added layer of security has been significant in business club’s efforts to
attract more members and sustain business relations with existing members.

Now the operators use the information being collected in the unified interface to better understand the environment. They are successfully
detecting patterns on how visitors/members access and move through the club. Thus, using these insights to develop strategies that
maximize the use of space and keeps everyone safe.

The open architecture of Videonetics unified solution allows customer to integrate with third-party systems such as access control,
emergency system and much more.

“To go from conventional to a professional and scalable

surveillance system was a huge improvement for our
client. It has enhanced our client’s reputation for
providing safe and secure environment to visitors,
employees, and members. Commendation to Videonetics
for providing their unified video computing platform that
empowered security operators by improving their
efficiency in monitoring the premise and handling threats
swiftly. I deeply appreciate their dedication and untiring
efforts for making it a reality”, said Gaurav Das, Director,
Webdesk Technologies Private Limited.
