Hikvision technology makes a difference in saving Sumatran endangered species

Customer: PT Alam Bukit Tigapuluh

Location: Indonesia

Industry: Nature conservation organization

PT Alam Bukit Tigapuluh ("PT ABT"), a company that manages ecosystem restoration concessions, was granted an ecosystem restoration license for a concession of 38,665 ha forest area in Bukit Tigapuluh landscape, located in Tebo District, Jambi ("ABT area") on the island of Sumatra. Being a tropical lowland forest, the ABT area has very challenging conditions and high-level maintenance requirements. PT ABT deployed Hikvision cameras to help monitor the area 24/7, especially the movement of the endangered species that may come across the area.

To ensure the best possible images of the animals and accurately detect their activities, Hikvision has utilized advanced video technologies, including ColorVu. These cameras feature advanced lenses and high-performance sensors, enabling clear day and night images, so the activities of Tapirs, Sumatran tigers, and Sumatran elephants can be observed in detail with vivid color, even in low-light conditions.

Thermal and Optical Bi-Spectrum Speed Dome Cameras have been installed to ensure reliable operation in adverse weather and darkness. Equipped with Hikvision's advanced algorithms, these cameras detect movements based on rules such as Line Crossing, Intrusion Detection, and Entrance & Exit Detection. Alarms are then sent to operators to notify them about the areas traversed by these animals. The bi-spectrum feature combines visual and thermal images, enabling operators to directly monitor the events.

Due to the challenges of deploying power supplies and network cables in the forest, Solar-Powered Standalone Security Cameras have become a more practical solution for off-grid monitoring. These self-sufficient units are waterproof and windproof.
