Overview
Milesight, a leading provider of IP surveillance solutions, has collaborated with Lafarge PV Solar System in Tafilah, Jordan to enhance the security & reliability of its electricity supply. By implementing a comprehensive remote surveillance monitoring solution, Milesight has effectively fortified the perimeter of the facility, ensuring robust protection.
Background
Situated within the Lafarge Cement Plant in southeastern Jordan, approximately 25km from the King Hussein Highway adjacent to Rashdiya City in the Tafilah governorate, the Lafarge PV Solar plant commenced operations in December 2017. Spanning across 28 hectares at an elvation of 1590 meters above sea level, the plant is dedicated to supplying power to the Lafarge Cement Plant. However, in recent years the critical infrastructure of this facility has been subject to theft, including PV modules & cables, along with other related criminal activities. These incidents have resulted in significant financial losses & operational disruptions for both the power provider & its consumers. Consequently, safeguarding the vulnerable & remote PV Solar plant site with cutting-edge electronic security solutions has become imperative to mitigate these risks effectively.
Solution
Following meticulous technological planning, Milesight has implemented solution involving the deployment of 18 camera towers strategically positioned around the plant perimeter. These towers are in interconnected though two fiber loops, facilitating seamless data transmission to the control room. The surveillance system comprises Milesight Pro Bullet Cameras & Speed Dome Cameras, seamlessly integrated with Milesight NVRS for remote access & centralized management. Additionally, each camera tower is equipped with dedicated power system & switch to ensure continuous power supply & network connectivity for the cameras.
- Solid Protective Shield
In Terms of the plant’s infrastructure, it was equipped with Milesight Motorized Pro Bullet Cameras featuring long-focus lenses, installed on poles & seamlessly linked with Milesight Speed Dome Cameras to cover the perimeter area. These cameras boast impressive specifications, including 5MP resolution, 120dB Super WDR, 0.005Lux Ultra-low Light Capability, P-Iris technology, Smart IR II with up to 100 meters IR Range & HLC Function, ensuring exceptional clarity of images day & night. The incorporation of Smart VCA enables instant detection of intrusions such as line crossing, triggering alarms that prompt the Speed Dome Cameras to work in conjunction, utilizing Pan/Tilt/Zoom functionalities to focus on the alarmed area & record real-time on-site information. Supported by features like 3D Positioning, PTZ Auto Tracking & Smart PTZ Motion Detection, the Speed Dome Cameras are adept at capturing any suspicious motion without missing any details. Functioning essentially as perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS), Milesight cameras provide robust security for the plant’s interior, fortified by their IP67 & IK10 housing, ensuring durability even in challenging environmental conditions.
- High-speed Response & Central Management
The Milesight Cameras were seamlessly integrated with Milesight 4k Pro NVRs, which were centrally located in the control room for local recording. This integration ensured efficient management & superior performance, guaranteeing the high-quality local recording necessary for optimal security measures. Leveraging the exceptional performance & stability of the NVRs, they effectively handled all configurations & management tasks for the Milesight Cameras, including alarm settings & Smart VCA integration. Moreover, the NVRs facilitated streamlined monitoring & control, with monitors directly linked to them. In the event of an automated intruder alert indicating unauthorized movement on-site, operators could swiftly respond by monitoring the entire perimeter via live view & high-resolution images provided by the NVRs. This enabled quick verification of the incident, allowing operators to promptly address the situation.
Result
The project has been successfully concluded for a considerable duration, with the Milesight solution effectively safeguarding the Lafarge PV Solar System. This has not notably enhanced the reliability of electricity provision to the Lafarge Cement Plant, making a significant difference in ensuring uninterrupted operations.
