The complete system redesign involved migrating from analog CCTV to IP-based digital video technology with the deployment of more than 150 network cameras. A robust broadband network was deployed, consisting of Proxim Wireless high-capacity, wide area wireless radios, supported by DragonWave multi-gigabit packet microwave units. This is the backbone on which the digital cameras communicate back to the central command center. The majority of the network cameras come from Axis Communications, with both PTZ and fixed IP cameras providing high-definition video at 720p resolution or higher. These cameras were selected for their image quality and reliability. Specifically, the AXIS Q6035-E PTZ dome camera, which integrated with Total Recall's CrimeEye solution, was chosen for its high performance in demanding applications and powerful zoom capabilities. AXIS P3364V/-VE network cameras feature the unique Lightfinder technology, which maintains colors even in extremely poor, harsh or limited lighting conditions. There are also several very low light, B/W Scallop imaging cameras with a 200-degree www.SecurityInfoWatch.com Systems integrator Total Recall combined their own CrimeEye solution with both PTZ and fixed IP cameras from Axis Communication to secure Lady Liberty's perimeter (below), while security operators monitor video surveillance footage in the command center from ergononomically designed consoles as they view a state-of-the-art video wall (bottom).
