MTS is a major real estate management company with a 20-year history. It has 600 employees and experts in real estate management, real estate consulting, market studies and representation of owners.
Dahua Technology, as a globally renowned video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider, customised a comprehensive parking solution, in order to help MTS manage the Santillana Building, located in Medellín, Colombia, more intelligently.
MTS faces a problem with the management of the Santillana building, as it wanted to control the parking lot with a monthly fee, but had purchased a system that was obsolete and didn’t allow them to control space occupation, parking time and easy integration with a billing system.
In addition, the Santillana Building has eight parking levels for the use of two office towers, in Medellín, Colombia. Smart parking functions, including automatic vehicle entrance control, parking guide, vehicle locating, video surveillance and the administration of all the parking lots, were needed.
Together with local system integrator – Miro Seguridad, Dahua installed Access ANPR Cameras for entrances (ITC215-PW6M-IRLZF), 300 units of Smart Video Parking Detectors (ITC314-PH3A-F Series) covering wide parking spaces, Indoor LED Screens (IPMPGI-AC Series), 36-HDD Enterprise Video Storage (EVS5036S-R), etc.
Multiple advanced products were applied with sophisticated technologies, innovated by Dahua Technology. The Access ANPR Camera adopts a high-performance CMOS image sensor and processor for in-depth extraction and analysis of vehicle information, 24/7. In addition, its built-in LED illuminator and motorised vari-focal lens provide ease of installation and commissioning.
The Smart Video Parking Detector can monitor 3 parking spots in real time, identify vehicles and licence plates, and display the parking spot status, with different indicator colours. It’s capable of capturing clear details, even in strong contrast conditions, in order to ensure detection accuracy, and is ideal for parking buildings and indoor parking lots.
EVS5036S-R EVS offers unparalleled storage technology. This EVS is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as public safety, transportation stations, government institutions, hotel resorts, shopping malls, city centres, and financial institutions, which demand expansion flexibility, high reliability and centralised storage management. This EVS is compatible with numerous third-party devices, making it the perfect solution for surveillance systems with or without a video management system (VMS).
During the implementation, to achieve the optimal performance of the sensors in low parking levels, lots of tests were carried out to find the best spots for installation. To ensure smooth interconnection of various products, it was necessary to standardise configuration and organise the fibre optic link, which took the joint efforts of the Dahua team and Miro Seguridad.
The parking solution is based on video-centered technologies. ANPR, video analysis and other technologies guide the customers to park and locate vehicles quickly and easily. Based on the ANPR technology, entry control becomes more efficient, while drivers are able to locate vehicles through kiosks with displays.
Automatically calculating and displaying the number of available parking spaces on the LED screen in each parking level helps drivers to find available spaces rapidly. Furthermore, when an accident happens, video surveillance can provide visual evidence, which makes management much easier.
