IP Video Surveillance Technology for Prison Security

Billerica, MA, USA – Minuteman Security Technologies installs one of the largest and most advanced IP video surveillance systems in the US for the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office.

The awarded contract called for Minuteman to design and install an IndigoVision digital IP video surveillance system at the Middlesex Jail & House of Correction.  The fully installed system consists of over 400 IP cameras that transmit images to multiple “virtual matrix switch” command & control video workstations. The contract also included the installation of a Gigabit Ethernet backbone that serves as the primary IP video network throughout the facility.

Advance compression techniques allow high quality IP video images to be stored on Network Video Recorders (NVR) for  an undisclosed “ long periods of time” and because of its low bandwidth utilization, the IndigoVision system will also have the capability to transmit live video off-site using a wireless broadband network.

Following an exhaustive technology assessment and bidding process of a variety of digital IP video solutions, the Minuteman & IndigoVision solution was chosen for its “best technology value”. Unlike conventional analog video system, the new scalable system will give the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office the capability virtually unlimited expansion.

Headquartered in Andover, MA, Minuteman Security Technologies is a leading provider of advanced security systems, servicing hundreds of government and corporate clients throughout New England.

IndigoVision, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of complete end-to-end enterprise IP video and alarm management systems. IndigoVision is headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK and Hoboken, NJ, USA.
