Seeing Is Believing There was one specific incident where the capabilities even shocked the systems integrator. Plugout installed a 5 MP / 1080p HDTV quality AXIS P3367-E camera on the 35th floor of each tower.

The apartment was immediately identified and the family members were promptly arrested and evicted. While the dozens of existing analog cameras atop each roof were unable to properly capture the incident, six About the Authors: Francisco Lantigua is Director of Security Operations for Taino Towers John Aksoy is President/CEO of Plugout Taino Tower Security Solutions Providers • Axis Communications — Axis IP Video Surveillance Cameras of the IP cameras were able to clearly capture it. Taking It to the Streets The two initial phases of the project are complete, but the success of the system has led to the planning of an additional phase.
