CHALLENGES
TECHNICAL
- Modikwa had an outdated analog system in-place with poor image quality
- The existing VMS had connectivity and stability issues that were worrying
ENVIRONMENTAL
- The mine is a huge site with vast areas between active work sites
- Modikwa needed a distributed network of cameras that could be modified as needed to meet the dynamic nature of mining
- The mine environment leads to frequent hardware failures so Modikwa needed to be able to quickly replace cameras / servers as needed
BUDGET
- The customer had not allocated a specific budget for the replacement but wanted to migrate from the older system to the new one over time to reduce down times and manage costs of upgrading.
SOLUTIONS
TECHNICAL
- Modikwa’s old, low-resolution analog cameras were upgraded, along with their VMS to iPIXA multi-megapixel IP cameras and Nx Witness VMS with support for 2 way audio, in-camera analytics, and I/O triggers – great for monitoring and interacting with the entire mine.
ENVIRONMENTAL
- The Nx Witness Server Hive architecture allowed the customer to deploy servers across the site with built-in redundancy, higher reliability, and better connectivity.
BUDGET
- Adoption of Nx Witness allowed a staged upgrade of key cameras over time by using encoders to integrate existing analog devices, alleviating the need for a large up-front capital expenditure.
TESTIMONIALS
RESELLER
“We are pleased that we have a customer that will stay with us due to Nx Witness platform being a perfect fit for their operation.”
END USER
“In my opinion, the image quality of even our outdated analogue PTZ cameras improved after installing Nx Witness.”
