Introduction
The purpose of this case study is to present the task of implementing a security video surveillance solution for DeVry University. DeVry University requests a high-definition security system that has the following features: 1. PoE (Power over Ethernet), to avoid additional wiring, the mounting of power bricks or using power injectors; 2. Segment camera IP traffic from the existing network for security reasons; 3. Support a minimum of 150 cameras; 4. Provide physical, as well as logical, redundancy; 5. Provide sufficient bandwidth for full HD support; 6. Comply with the Cisco hierarchical design model; 7. Integrate 1Gb uplinks; and 8. Minimize rack space.
DeVry University has not yet proposed a budget for this project however they would like to complete the task in the most cost efficient manner.
Decision
In accordance with the requests made by DeVry University in reference to the surveillance system the most efficient system would be the D-Link DCS-7513 Full HD Day & Night WDR Outdoor Bullet Camera is a high-definition professional surveillance camera suitable for small, medium, and large enterprises. The camera uses a high-sensitivity 2 megapixel progressive scan CMOS sensor to deliver high quality video under a wide range of lighting conditions. A remotely adjustable varifocal lens with P-Iris ensures you can get the proper field of view, even after installation. The all-in-one rugged design makes this camera ideal for reliable deployment in surveillance applications without the need for additional accessories. The DCS-7513 has an integrated mechanical IR filter and infrared LEDs to allow the viewing and recording of video even in complete darkness, up to 90 feet away from the camera. The DCS-7513 supports simultaneous streaming of H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG video to provide both high-quality and bandwidth efficient compression formats. H.264 produces a small file
