MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ -
October 27, 2010 - Infinova today announced that the southern Brazilian city
of Porto Alegre, the country's eleventh largest municipality, has just gone
live with a traffic monitoring system featuring 30 Infinova H- and M-Series
high definition cameras that replace a series of cameras from various manufacturers.
The system provides assistance to first responders, including police and rescue
teams, in cases of accidents and stranded travelers.
The new, improved surveillance
system was created in tandem with DigiFort, a Sao Paolo-based software house
that creates software for monitoring and managing IP cameras as well as intelligent
video analytics. The company is rapidly expanding throughout Latin America and
in the Middle East.
"Based on Texas Instruments'
Da Vinci technology, our M-Series were easily integrated with the Digifort VMS,"
emphasizes Adolph Salas, Infinova vice president sales for Latin America and
the Caribbean. "Likewise, the H.264 high definition capabilities were also
easily handled by the Digifort software, making installation and implementation
go smoothly."
Images are stored on a variety
of servers, including those from IBM, HP and Dell.
Uniquely, a local TV station
is in the same building as the control room for the traffic system. From central
management, video signals are sent to the local station to provide traffic reports
showing station viewers traffic flow and spots to avoid.
