Video Surveillance System with NVT UTP Transceiver installed in Eden Shopping Centre, UK

Located in High Wycombe, England, Eden Shopping Center offers shops, a movie theater, bowling alley, library and restaurants. The 825,000ft2 complex accommodates 1500 parking spaces, a bus interchange and 48 modern apartments.

When the Center needed to upgrade its surveillance system, its owners initially wanted a fiber-optic transmission network. However, after budget review, fiber-optics were deemed too expensive. The Center needed a solution that would transmit video over long distances like fiber-optics, and provide quality images at a fraction of the cost. The answer was NVT's UTP video transmission technology.

The new network used Honeywell cameras with built-in NVT transmitters. The images are transmitted from over 200 cameras via UTP cable, installed above and below ground. Using UTP cables sped up and simplified installation and allowed the installer to include spare cable bundles for future expansion.

In the Center's server room, NVT 32-Channel receiver hubs were installed. The NVT receivers allow quality video reception at distances up to one mile, matching fiber performance. Eden Shopping Center now enjoys a future-proof surveillance system that will provide years of service and expandability.
