Video Surveillance

Urban drainage and environmental analysis Nuremberg (SUN) installs EIZO DuraVision decoding solutions.

When the screening system at the sewage treatment plant was due for renewal, Urban Drainage and Environmental Analysis (SUN) decided to equip the site with the market leading EIZO IP decoding solution DuraVision FDF2711-W-IP in customised splash-proof housing. This solution provides both plant operators and visitors a direct view of the brush unit during on-site tours, while securing the monitors from external damage.

The screening system used in the inflow of the wastewater treatment plant is equipped with a warning system, this serves to protect the plant from large objects entering in the wastewater.

Part of the warning system, among other controls, is a camera and its images are transmitted to a central control room. Since the screening plant is a closed system, it is not possible to simply look into the screens on site therefore, they needed to find a suitable decoding and monitor solution.

During his research, Lars Fenner, a technical employee at the City of Nuremberg, who works in the area of wastewater treatment process control technology, came across the EIZO IP decoder monitors. Lars Fenner has been looking after the video systems of the sewage works for several years.

It was clear to him: “I was looking for a solution via TCP/IP. In the process, I discovered that not all video streams are the same and that the ONVIF standard still means nothing and that every manufacturer understands and defines it in the same way. I was looking for a replacement for the decoders we had been using up to now. The new solution is able to display the H.264 video streams of different camera manufacturers all within a 24-hour operation. This total solution was found at EIZO.”

He adds further: “The test device that was provided to me by EIZO worked straight away and was absolutely self-explanatory. This convinced me completely and I therefore didn’t look for any more alternatives.”

A colleague of Lars , who personally edits his photos on an EIZO ColorEdge graphics monitor, is also convinced of the special quality of the EIZO IP decoder monitors: “EIZO is simply quality. It does what it’s supposed to do. Did you expect anything else?”

"Apart from the excellent image quality, what I particularly like about the EIZO solution, is that I only have one device with an integrated decoder in one housing, power supply, network and that's it!"
