Intelligent security solutions for Data Centers

Data center operators need to be able to grant access only to authorized vehicles and ensure that they are parked at designated areas within the facility. DINION 7100i IR with its LPR scene mode enable the accurate license plate recognition at carpark entry points. The camera’s infrared (IR) and starlight X technologies ensure that this can be done even in low light or zero lux conditions.

Video analytics capabilities also provide accurate vehicle type identification (for example, whether the vehicle is a car, van, or truck) for security enforcement. It helps ensure that only authorized service vehicles are parked at service bays.

An efficient parking management system will help ensure optimal use of parking spaces at the data center. FLEXIDOME 8000i with Camera Trainer plays a key role in this. The camera can cover up to 50 lots within a car park and provides exceptional details even in challenging light conditions with its starlight X and HDR X performance options.

Camera Trainer capabilities allow it to be calibrated to count the number of unoccupied car park lots, identify the zones where these lots are available, and provide this information in real time to facilitate smooth parking by data center staff and visitors.

Perimeter fences often surround data centers are often ringed by perimeter fences to prevent intrusion. However, the long length of perimeter fences also means that two or three cameras are often needed to cover extended distances.

The DINION 7100i IR has a range of 120m (393 feet) and exceptional low light sensitivity with starlight X technology. High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities also allow every detail to be seen in bright and dark areas of the scene without HDR motion blur and artefacts. At the same time, video analytics capabilities provided by IVA Pro Perimeter bring highly reliable deep-learning- based detection of persons and vehicles, reducing false alarms and enabling more efficient perimeter security enforcement.

Securing restricted areas requires stringent surveillance to ensure areas in the data center, such as the backup generator room, battery room, and fuel storage, are fully secured. The facility manager must be alerted to people entering restricted areas, when batteries or uninterruptible power supplies are removed, or when suspicious objects or people are loitering.

The FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR with IVA Pro Buildings can help. The camera provides Intelligent IR 45m (147 feet) capabilities with image stabilization, while IVA Pro Buildings delivers video analytics to accurately detect persons loitering, stopped, or moving in a sensitive area. When the camera is extended with the optional IVA Pro Perimeter license, the camera’s video analytics can also detect when someone removes or leaves an object behind.

Visitor management is essential for data centers and follows a strict process requiring pre-registration and approval before anyone is allowed in after security verification using facial recognition and man-trap access controls.

Facial Recognition - At critical entry and exit points, the deployment of FLEXIDOME 5100i (IR) with Herta Facial Recognition analytics enables safelisted personnel or visitors through while triggering an alarm and keeping the gantries shut when blocklisted individuals attempt to enter.

Mantrap access control – Mantraps are vital to a data center’s physical security. Access control is enforced within the mantrap by the FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i (IR) enabled with IVA Pro Buildings to count the number of people within the mantrap and prevent tailgating. This capability also enables the facility manager to keep tabs on the number of people working at each level in case of a fire or other threats.

Within the data center, there may be sensitive areas such as server rooms where the operator does not want the recording of any equipment or technical activities. The operator may also want the identities of its personnel to be masked in line with privacy laws such as PDPA and GDPR.

Using the FLEXIDOME 5100i (IR) with area masking can meet these requirements without compromising security. Privacy masking can be programmed to cover up to 8 independent areas. It can be configured to be dynamic, allowing relevant objects or people to remain blurred out or anonymized even in motion.

FLEXIDOME 5100i cameras provide high-image quality thanks to starlight and HDR. The built-in IVA Pro Buildings supports reliable intrusion detection and accurate people counting in crowded areas. An improved three-step installation concept saves installers valuable time.

Part of an expert suite of video security analytics, the IVA Pro Buildings, based on deep learning, is ideal for advanced intrusion detection in and around buildings. Differentiating between actual security events and known false triggers can significantly increase efficiency and reduce expenses by focusing the time spent by security operators on authentic alerts. The IVA Pro Buildings automatically detects persons and vehicles while ignoring false triggers, like unwanted sources of motion, such as rain, snow, blowing leaves, lighting changes, or a shaking camera. The solution provides indoor and outdoor people counting for typical surveillance scenarios and alerts operators when the occupancy level rises above a specific threshold and becomes congested. It keeps a “virtual eye” on buildings and their surroundings by detecting objects or persons entering a pre-defined zone or loitering in the premise’s vicinity. With no onsite calibration required, it is easy to use and deploy.

Part of an expert suite of video security analytics, the IVA Pro Perimeter is well-suited for long-distance intrusion detection alongside perimeters of buildings, energy facilities, and airports, even in extreme weather. It is highly sensitive to directed motion and can detect professional intruders who roll, crawl or camouflage themselves in an attempt to breach fencing, entryways, or runways under various environmental and lighting conditions while minimizing false triggers. Early and reliable detection of potential incidents helps operators secure sensitive areas, like airport perimeters, critical infrastructure, and government buildings.

Camera Trainer enables the customization of Intelligent Video Analytics to detect customer specific objects or situations such as detecting empty or occupied parking spaces, open or closed barriers of railway crossings, and rising water levels for early flood detection.
