The QNAP digital surveillance system is designed with scatted architecture and central monitoring. In the initial establishment, 600 cameras and VioGates are set up for monitoring across different locations. To set up 600 cameras in the Mall, 600 coaxial cables were needed for the wiring. With QNAP network surveillance system, only 30 fiber cables are required, and 10 of those are redundant cables. Moreover, the length of coaxial cables required for traditional monitoring system is about 240,000 m. With the scattered architecture of QNAP digital surveillance system, only UTP network cables of about 6,000 m long are sufficient for the setup of the surveillance system. This minimizes the cost of establishment.
The digital surveillance system in the Dream Mall provides outstanding expansion capability. The number of cameras can be increased to 2,000. Also, the digital recording data can be stored, managed, and played back via web-based management interface. Electronic map (E-map) is supported for graphical control and monitoring of multiple locations from different monitoring centers. According to Mr. Peace Kuo, Product Manager of QNAP, "The digital surveillance system incorporates QNAP surveillance and storage products for redundant recording. The main recording data are stored in the built-in hard drives of the video server, and the backup recordings are saved to the remote QNAP NAS. With QNAP surveillance and NAS products, users can be benefited from the solution of high performance surveillance and reliable storage and backup of recording data."
