SECURITY PROJECTS
The following items are a few examples of our security projects, the challenges we faced and the security solutions we implemented...
Gautrain, Gauteng - Thermal and video analytics for tracks and tunnels of the Gautrain
C3 Shared Services (Pty) Ltd has been appointed by Bombardier Transportation to supply and install a combination of two military grade technologies, namely Opgal’s thermal cameras combined with ioimage intelligent video analytics, to monitor the tracks and tunnels of the Gautrain rail. Due to the emphasis on a very high level of security along the Gautrain rail and in the tunnels, the main criteria was to select a combination of technologies that shall provide detection of human targets even in no light conditions. Opgal’s thermal cameras combined with ioimage intelligent video analytics were selected for their high probability of detection and low false alarm rate... Read More

Blue Valley Golf and Country Estate - Thermal and video analytics perimeter project
The perimeter of Blue Valley is approximately 7 km’s and they needed a system that would give instant visual verification as to the cause and position of any breaches in the perimeter day or night without the need for additional lighting to be erected. ”. The first phase has comprised of a total upgrade of the existing control room and the implementation of EVT IP video management platform of which the existing analogue cameras have been integrated. The EVT video management system will be integrated with the thermal cameras and analytics on the perimeter making for a very high end and sophisticated command and control room... Read More

Southdown's Residential Estate - Video analytics and thermal perimeter project
Like many other residential estates, Southdown's had implemented conventional security measures to secure the estate, such as electric fencing with zone indication of intrusion detection, roving guards, reaction vehicles and a central control room. Whilst these are traditional methods of security, many estates are finding that these methods are NOT sufficient when it comes to detecting and preventing intrusions. The Northern boundary has river frontage and dense vegetation making it the type of landscape difficult to erect and maintain electric fencing on. The perimeter of Southdown's is approximately 6.5 km's and they needed a system ... Read More

Durban Harbour - Video Analytics Project
C3 Shared Services (Pty) Ltd and a local SA engineering firm assisted in designing the security solution at Durban's Pier One terminal. Given that seaports cover expansive areas, live security personnel are unable to monitor all locations at all times. But "intelligent video analytics" can. The wide-area surveillance and perimeter protection solution at Durban Port is comprised of an 'intelligent' command and control system that transforms a network of cameras into intelligent object detection, tracking and recording sensors. Through advanced video scene analysis and an algorithm-based detection and tracking system, the intelligent video analytics system identifies... Read More

Xanadu Eco Park - Perimeter Security Project
C3's expertise was required to design and implement an impenetrable and robust perimeter security system in order to keep the residents of the estate and their belongings secure. A combination of two military grade technologies were selected - namely thermal imaging cameras (OPGAL) and intelligent video (ioimage). The advantages were that the perimeter security system could now detect intruders in pitch black darkness at distances of up to 350 meters and enable the control room operators to make the correct and speedy decision to alert a designated armed response team to the area where the intrusion was detected...

Secure perimeter of Porsche's show room and car dealership
C3 and applied business partner, Goodman security Technologies, installed 16 channels of ioimage intelligent video on site. The intelligent video was implemented in conjunction with the CCTV system as opposed to using conventional alarm detection equipment. The HTML version of the ioimage product range allowed greater flexibility for networking, thus allowing for a better interface with Porsche's existing VPN. The system also interfaced with the existing analogue cameras and matrix switcher. Porsche's perimeter is now secured with automated surveillance and intruder tracking with immediate notification and instant visual verification on any security breaches... Read More

First Offender prison Gaborone
The client needed a system that would be able to work efficiently in their harsh weather environment. Once again ioimage was the intelligent video system of choice. C3 managed and co-ordinated the entire project with local partner, Standby Power Systems. The solution incorporated intelligent video perimeter security integrated with kinetic energy detection sensors resulting in a "double knock" detection system. In other words, a convict would have to successfully get passed two separate leading technologies in order to escape. Additionally, the solution also incorporated biometrics access control and an overt digital management system... Read More

Platinum Refinery - High Security Area Upgrade
The High Security Area (HSA) of a South African Based Platinum refinery required an edge technology that would provide them with a high probability of intruder detection with a low false alarm rate. ioimage was strenuously tested over a two month period against two other similar products. Ioimage was specifically chosen over the other two competitors for its 99% probability of detection whilst maintaining an extremely low false alarm rate and withstanding the harsh environmental and poor lighting conditions of the site. In order to protect the mine's precious metals, C3 implemented more than 96 channels of intelligent video on site.... Read More
