By joining the SPP, Alkan Telecom acquires the status of Diamond Partner and obtains the right to market SCATI products and solutions in Egypt under preferential conditions.
The SPP is a loyalty program through which SCATI makes available to its partners a number of benefits derived from boosting the promotion and marketing of SCATI products, services and solutions.
"When we were looking for a physical security vendor 6 years ago, our goal was to find a respectable vendor of European origin yet offers competitive prices, SCATI had them all” says Tamer Mohannad, Presales Manager of Alkan Telecom and adds: "Today, we continue to focus on providing security solutions that require stable and scalable systems that minimize the human factor and help the decision maker. SCATI allows us to offer solutions that meet the growing market for Artificial Intelligence and deep learning technologies".
"Through the Partner Program we want to reward those companies capable of providing video surveillance solutions with high quality standards and with the same customer service that characterizes us" says Toni Polo, Sales Director for Spain and EMEA Region and concludes "During these 6 years, Alkan Telecom has shown us a great ability to address large security projects, as well as their total involvement and loyalty to our mutual collaboration agreement. We are sure that together we can offer high technological value solutions to the market".
During these six years of collaboration, SCATI and Alkan Telecom have provided video surveillance solutions for multiple public safety projects: the cities of Minya and Asyut, South Valley University in Qena (the largest IP video surveillance project among the Egyptian universities), the protection of various facilities of GASCO (Egyptian Natural Gas Company), the airline EGYPTAIR, the Egyptian railroad network, as well as the Damietta Container & Cargo Handling Co. at Port of Damietta and various facilities for government institutions.
The King’s Abdullah Project (KAP2) is a plan led by the Ministry of Interior of Saudi Arabia to develop security facilities throughout the country Arabia to improve the Kingdom’s military standards.
Challenge
The King’s Abdullah Project (KAP2) began in 2013 with a total construction are of more than 3.5 million square meters, distributed in 44 sites thorough 5 zones of the country.
Although primarily is a "public safety" project; KAP2 consists of a variety of building types including medical centers, training facilities, shooting ranges, clinics and forensic laboratories, recreational facilities, auditoriums and congregational facilities, mosques, stores, sports buildings and other institutional facilities.
Specifically, SCATI's intelligent video solutions protect one of the sites near Daman, where a 197,000 m2 civic center has been built. This project includes a theater, an exhibition center, a market, a museum, a public library, the King Abdullah Center for Cultural Understanding and two hotels.
Due to the extremely harsh environmental conditions, challenging engineering issues are addressed to ensure the durability and safety of this project. To this end, high-resolution video surveillance cameras with high availability, suitable for extreme conditions are chosen.
Solution
Almost one hundred IP cameras of various models are installed in different locations to adapt to the security needs of each scenario.
For a discreet video surveillance, more than 30 outdoor mini-dome cameras (IP67) are installed, offering high image resolution (2 Mpx) under any lighting condition thanks to their integrated mechanical IR cut filters that allow switching the day and night mode. The camera SEM-3511VR-XA2 has a high resistance anti-vandalism housing that complies with the IK-10 protocol, making it ideal for those places most susceptible to vandalism, impacts and knocks.
For the perimeter protection of the installations, 30 2-Megapixel IP PTZ Dome cameras are installed, offering a high image resolution. The SED-35115-EY25 cameras incorporate intelligent analytics that detect: Intrusion, line crossing, abandoned object, tracking, etc. and are ideal for covering large perimeter areas, sending an alarm to the control center for any event that requires the attention of operators.
The deployment of cameras is completed with the installation of 30 Smart IP cameras (SIC-3511VR-EX8) capable of capturing high quality images (2Mpx) in backlight thanks to the incorporation of WDR technology (Wide Dynamic Range). These cameras allow the detection of line crossings, area entry/exit, and object counting…etc. so the security of the installations is guaranteed.
The management of the whole video surveillance system is done through the remote client equipment Scati Fenix Pro Control (FN010-W7P-RM1).
This video management platform allows the display and playback of video, including the control of PTZ dome cameras. The platform allows programin
g alerts and define responses to any circumstance, access the images from any place and in real time and share the information with other agencies if additional support is required.
With the latest technology and the highest levels of cyber security, the platform offers video tools for wall monitoring through a video wall. The operators of the control center visualize and manage in a centralized way all the installed cameras.
Through advanced video management tools SCATI operators can locate any person or vehicle, reducing the time in giving a response to any incident.
Benefits
With the implementation of the SCATI CCTV system, the Ministry of Interior of Saudi Arabia is able to prevent intrusions into these facilities with very large perimeter areas that are difficult to control centrally.
SCATI offers an open and scalable solution that can be integrated with other systems and grow at any time without additional investment.
The SCATI video management platform allows you to view and manage all devices and cameras, control the status of the entire system and facilitate investigations from a single location and at any time.
Today, our hospitals find themselves in a maelstrom rarely seen before and when it comes to physical security, hospitals and healthcare facilities face a unique set of challenges.
The large number of people flowing through their facilities, the increased severity of self-protection protocols for workers (healthcare personnel, assistants, orderlies, administrative staff, etc.), the use of material resources and products of great monetary value and, additionally, the need to continue providing good patient care, mean that our hospitals need to equip themselves with technological and procedural resources that enable them to have a much safer environment and with tools that facilitate decision-making at key moments. Moreover, all this must be done while complying with a series of standards, codes, rules and regulations.
The 24/7/365 nature of hospitals requires additional attention when it comes to the most appropriate security measures. In healthcare facilities, video surveillance is an effective tool not only to increase security, but also to achieve effective cost control and to monitor and refine action protocols, making use of the data that the different components of the system can provide to decision makers for better decision making.
One of the most widespread scenarios is the use of cameras for patient care and surveillance, being more widespread in psychiatric areas or ICUs, so that patients can be monitored in real time from the checkpoint and healthcare personnel can manage their time much more efficiently.
It is no wonder then that today's CCTV acquisition and installation strategies comprise a large part of a healthcare risk mitigation plan. With capabilities that go beyond simple video surveillance to systems with artificial intelligence-based analytics, access control, visitor management or even improved patient care, modern video surveillance strategies are helping healthcare facilities meet these complex demands.
This combination of CCTV covering the security-operational binomial in the installation is based on the use of video analysis tools based on artificial intelligence or integration with positioning systems, and can be broken down into the following aspects:
Access control through facial recognition, and thus respond proactively to intrusions by unauthorized persons in restricted areas or to authorize access to certain areas to those persons who are allowed to do so, using facial biometrics as a substitute for traditional cards, numerical codes or fingerprints.
Supervision and identification of goods or objects that may have been negligently abandoned and that may pose a risk to people or facilities.
Support in emergency management, such as evacuations, using the system to know how many people are in the facilities and to have another tool to help manage and coordinate all the necessary protocols.
Control and supervision of the temperature of certain equipment or products, to avoid deviations that could jeopardize their integrity or make their operation unfeasible due to overheating, thus preventing having to incur additional costs or expenses that would be incurred to replace them, or the disruption to patients when equipment stops working and needs to be subjected to maintenance work.
Parking control, allowing to know at all times how many vehicles are inside and to have them identified by reading their license plates. These features make it possible to inform visitors if the parking lot has free spaces and, for the hospital's security area, to authorize access to previously registered workers' vehicles or to verify possible suspicious vehicles that stay longer than usual.
Tracking of medical equipment and assets. In recent months, there has been an increasing concern for protecting both physical assets (high-tech medical and diagnostic equipment) and products (medicines or vaccines) of high economic value that may be subject to theft or robbery. To this end, video surveillance systems are allowing integration with positioning systems that, by means of tags attached to the assets or products, signal at all times where they are located and it is possible to visualize in real time the camera that is closest to where the tag is located. Additionally, for forensic investigations, it would be possible to reconstruct in video the entire path of the tag associated with the asset or product in a given time interval within the hospital. In this way, the high costs for the replacement of such assets can be considerably reduced.
All of the above possibilities opened up by video surveillance systems in turn generate data of interest that can be interpreted by specialized business intelligence systems and presented to hospital managers in the form of dashboards to support them in monitoring, assessing and optimizing internal procedures, the quality of patient care and the use of human and material resources. These scorecards are very effective in ensuring the success of hospital management.
As we have seen in the previous lines, we can see how video surveillance systems manage to add value to the entire organization and not only to the security department as was the case a few years ago. That is why it is highly recommended that organizations can exploit all that technology makes available to them, rely on companies with experience in providing solutions tailored to their circumstances, and needs.
This new line of video recorders incorporates deep learning algorithms for facial recognition and are capable of managing cameras with intelligent analytics for measuring body temperature, mask use and capacity control.
SCATI, a manufacturer of intelligent video solutions, incorporates in its portfolio a new range of video recorders with deep learning to fully exploit the benefits of Artificial Intelligence.
This new range of are able to perform the detection of body temperature while indicating the use or not of mask, based on indicators with different colors (red for high temperature, yellow for not using mask and green to indicate that everything is correct).
With connection to 8 and 16 IP channels (FN76i-128P2 and FN76i-1216P2), they incorporate integrated PoE switch which simplifies their installation and start up and they are the perfect solution to complement the video surveillance system in small security projects that require a reliable solution that guarantees safe access to their facilities in real time.
With pre-configured video management software, these platforms offer a wide range of options to achieve maximum performance from your CCTV system and are capable of efficiently managing storage (up to 12TB) and available bandwidth (Input/Output: 80/120 Mbps).
The FENIX SCATI recording platforms support live display, storage and playback of cameras with resolutions of up to 12 megapixels, offering video outputs with a resolution of up to 4K (3840 x 2160). In addition, the images can be visualized through a local screen that provides the data of the search of the records, the capacity, and the results of the detection/recognition.
From the CMS (Central Management System) you can manage the database of individuals (by lists) in a centralized way and search by date, name or similarity between images to verify any identity and even allow the propagation of lists (suspects, VIPs, etc.). The pre-configured software allows facial searches on video recorded in up to 4 channels even if the images have been captured by conventional cameras.
SCATI's R&D Department performs developments to incorporate Deep Learning algorithms in its video management platform (measurement of body temperature, detection of masks, gauging control, etc.) so that their customers can adapt to this new situation.
With the new platform of Seville (Spain), the leading company of the Spanish courier market, continues its expansion.

SOLUTION
NACEX, the technological leader in the logistics sector, has been trusting SCATI for more than 15 years because of its capacity to develop customised video solution for each of its 32 logistics platform.
SCATI video solution is a customised solution fully integrated with its warehouse management system (ERP). This ensures traceability of every parcel in the automatic sorting systems and solves any incidence, through direct and quick access to a visual check of the recorded video associated to that parcel.
15 cameras, installed strategically display the travel of each parcel, paying special attention to three key points of the process: Induction areas (loading of the goods on the belt), measurement (the point where parcels are weighted, measured, sorted and distributed automatically), and ramps (exit point of the warehouse to their corresponding destinations).
SCATI solution allows to view the travel of each parcel and envelopes 100% ensuring solving incidences.
CCTV CAMERAS AND VIDEO RECORDERS
The video system consists of 14 2-Mpx IP bullet SCATI EYE cameras with infrared rays up to 30 meters offering a high image quality under low luminosity conditions. These cameras feature WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) functionalities able to manage backlighting and/or sudden luminosity changes when the outside doors of the warehouse open.
To visualize what is happening in the facilities, the platform has a single panoramic camera that offers a total 360º view.
The recording of the images is carried out on a single SCATI VISION recording platform that guarantees total image availability 24/7.
SCATI PARCEL is a customised solution integrating the video with NACEX management system for the goods monitoring. This ensures traceability of every parcel in the automatic sorting systems and solves any incidence, through direct and quick access to a visual check of the recorded video associated to that parcel.
This solution consists of high definition cameras displaying the complete travel of parcels, from going into the induction areas, going through the automatic measuring and sorting points and going out on the corresponding exit ramps.
Together with the image capture, the system is able to collect information associated to each parcel (tracking No., origin, destination, dimensions), and stores these data together with the visual recording of the parcel in each control point of its travel. In this way, traceability is ensured.
Thanks to SCATI PARCEL, searches by tracking No., origin, destination, etc. can be made, the travel of each parcel displayed and the exact time of losing track of the parcel in any of the distribution centres it goes through.
CONTROL CENTRE. CENTRALISED MANAGEMENT FOR LOGISTICS PLATFORMS
From the Control Centre in Coslada, eight operators monitor movements, through an 8-screen SCATI WALL, in its 32 distribution centres NACEX has in Spain and Portugal.
Thanks to SCATI WALL,up to 64 cameras can be viewed simultaneously, enabling the setting up of scenarios for automatic display.
Integration of customised plans allows this process to be faster and solve incidences in real time.
This systems allows for the centralised management of all the company’s logistics centres. This allows for searches for a specific warehouse, for all the platforms or for groups of them, being those groups customised, too.
