For vehicular access, a two-step verification system was introduced. Vehicles pass through a dual-barrier system monitored by 4MP ANPR Intelligent Entrance Cameras (DS-TCG405-E) and 5 Series Straight-Arm DC Frequency-Conversion Barrier Gates (DS-TMG510-H). This system uses license plate recognition and secondary driver authentication to enhance security and facilitate the seamless passage of multiple vehicles. The utilization of DC frequency conversion technology in the barrier gates guarantees accurate, smooth, and low-noise operation, contributing to more efficient and user-friendly access control. A Video Intercom Kit (DS-KIS602(B)) which includes an indoor station integrated with a third-party ID card reader were also installed at the gate, enabling visitor communication and verification. Once approved, visitors enter their details, which are automatically recorded by the system.
To streamline entry during high-traffic events, residents can pre-register their guests. Each pre-registered visitor will receive a unique QR code via email, which they can scan at the entrance for fast access. This convenient pre-registration system enhances security and ensures a smooth––and rapid––entry process for all attendees during special events.
Moreover, to enhance the overall security of the complex, various security cameras were deployed at the entrances. These included 4 MP Varifocal Dome Network Cameras (DS-2CD1743G0-I(Z)), 2 MP Outdoor WDR Fixed Dome Network Cameras (DS-2CD2123G0-I(S)), and 2 MP ColorVu Fixed Bullet Network Cameras (DS-2CD1027G0-L). Together, these cameras provide comprehensive coverage 24/7, enabling proactive oversight and incident response.
All these systems are centrally managed through Hikvision's HikCentral Professional platform, which integrates access control, visitor management, and CCTV systems for real-time monitoring and visitor data analysis. This comprehensive platform allows Arboretto to efficiently manage and monitor the security of residents, staff, and visitors.
Reaping the benefits: how optimized operations enhance daily life in Arboretto
The implementation of Hikvision's access control, video intercom, and video monitoring solutions led to considerable improvements in both security and operational efficiency at Arboretto. Automated verification drastically reduced human errors and ensured only authorized individuals and vehicles could enter the complex, significantly boosting security.
Operational expenses decreased due to the reduction in manual labor, translating into notable cost savings and better resource allocation. The centralized management platform also provided valuable insights into visitor patterns, which administrators have since used to optimize security protocols and operational strategies.
Residents, meanwhile, have experienced greater satisfaction from the increased convenience and security provided by the new system. The automated processes have streamlined entry and exit procedures, reduced wait times and errors, making life in Arboretto more pleasant and secure.
