Adding Security andCommunication to aPower Plant
THE SCENARIOTHE SOLUTION

In a certain power plant, access control gates wereinstalled to manage personnel entry and exit. Thefacility administrators were considering
implementing additional security measures in place.
In addition to the existing methods of confirming
identities through audio intercom communication
and ID card checks at each access control gate,
they were considering the introduction of anadditional security layer, such as security guards inthe security office visually verify individuals before
granting access. Given the access control gates'
frequent use by numerous personnel, userfriendliness was crucial.

The facility administrators selected the IP video intercom
system. User-friendly video door stations were installed at
the gates, allowing visual and voice verifications from thesecurity office. Furthermore, the IP video intercom system
was equipped with automatic recording features, archiving
audio and video records of gate visitors, enhancing
preparedness for unexpected situations.

Some of these access control gates were located innoisy areas due to turbines and other sources. This
noise made it difficult for both parties to hear duringcommunication. Consequently, the facility
administrators requested a system that wouldenable clear voice confirmation even in such noisy
environments.
Furthermore, within the power plant, numerous
access control gates were positioned. Whensecurity guards received calls from these access
control gates, they often couldn't easily identify thecall source from the displayed video. Therefore, theadministrators desired a feature to promptly identify
the source access control gate for any incoming call.

Since the door station utilized an open voicecommunication method, it picked up ambient noise,making conversation difficult in noisy environments. To
address this, a custom-made product was adapted,
incorporating a handset into the video door station forcommunication via the handset instead of open voice,allowing clear communication even in noisy conditions.
To easily identify from which gate a call was made, the IP
video intercom system was integrated with a display
device from a different company. When a call was made,the intercom's master station rang, and the display device
showed the gate number. The interactive map of thepower plant on the PC also indicated the calling gate,
providing immediate visual information for security guards.
An IP-based intercom system can be deployed regardlessof physical distance. The system operates without
concerns about communication distance limitations.

The vast scale of the power plant, with its extensive
area and large buildings spread throughout thepremises, an intercom system with nocommunication distance limitations was required.

The facility administrator of the power plant selected
an IP video intercom system that can confirm faces
in order to strictly manage the entry and exit ofpersonnel.
