New e-surveillance service for businesses |
|
Companies enjoy enhanced security and costs savings |
|
|
Singapore Telecommunications Ltd (SingTel)
today (24 Oct 2005) announced the launch of eSurveillance, a new managed
end-to-end digital-video surveillance service that works on a broadband
or IP connection. |
|
SingTel eSurveillance provides businesses a
flexible extension to the traditional close-circuit TV (CCTV) system. It
allows users to do continuous video recording and view real-time images
of their surveillance recordings from anywhere within and outside of
Singapore using broadband access. |
|
More importantly, customers can store and
retrieve video images up to 30 days from the centrally-hosted video
library at SingTel EXPAN, the company¡¯s managed hosting solution. |
|
Companies therefore need not invest in
costly on-site video surveillance systems and storage equipment.
On-going operational and maintenance costs are also taken care of by
SingTel. Problems related to storage media such as video tapes and DVDs
are eliminated as all video images are stored offsite in SingTel¡¯s EXPAN
data centre. |
|
Mr Wong Soon Nam, SingTel¡¯s Vice President
of Corporate Business Marketing, said: ¡°Customers enjoy huge cost
savings from this fully outsourced video surveillance solution. Those
who need multi-site surveillance services will find SingTel¡¯s
eSurveillance capable of providing them with high security and resource
efficiency for their operations. |
|
¡°They can be alerted via SMS should there be
any security breach. In addition, this IP-based service will allow users
to view surveillance videos on their 3G mobile phones while on the move
in the near future.¡± |
|
eSurveillance comes with motion-detection
features that will alert users via email and/or SMS. Recording of the
intrusion will be activated automatically when the camera intelligence
detects a movement in the video images. |
|
Users can pre-programme the eSurveillance
service to operate continuous recording during office hours and motion
detection after office hours. Security and other agencies can thus use
eSurveillance to complement their existing safety systems and processes. |
|
The ease of installation and operation of
the eSurveillance service makes this an ideal solution for companies
that want to deploy surveillance at their multiple outlets across
Singapore. |
|
Retail, logistics, food outlets and small
businesses will find this new service very useful. For example, retail
business owners who wish to monitor human traffic in their outlets or be
alerted for unauthorised entry into storerooms after operating hours can
make use of SingTel¡¯s new service. |
|
eSurveillance is supported by Sweden-based
Axis Communications, a global market leader in network video solutions
for remote monitoring and security surveillance. |
|
Mr Ray Mauritsson, CEO of Axis
Communications, said: ¡°We are extremely pleased to collaborate with
SingTel in providing the enhanced peace of mind which the Subscriber
Technology (ST) System* can offer their customers. A remotely delivered
IP-Surveillance service with central management and no maintenance is a
natural extension for carriers and mobile operators. It opens up their
core business to the significant growth industry of IP-based video
security, which we see as a key part of our long-term strategy in
generating new customer segments.¡± |
|
eSurveillance is available to corporate
users for $85 per camera per month (before GST). |
|
* The Axis Subscriber Technology System (ST
System) is a solution optimised for telecommunications providers,
Internet Service Providers and mobile operators looking to offer their
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise customers a cost-effective, managed IP
Video Surveillance service. |
