Arecont Vision Cameras Protect Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club

  • Oct 11, 2011

In a lush hilltop setting in an affluent suburb of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 1.3 and 3 megapixel video cameras from Arecont Vision provide surveillance at the expansive Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC). The club, which offers a choice of two 18-hole courses, is the site of numerous international championships and hosts more than 100,000 rounds of golf a year.

The KLGCC video surveillance system incorporates Arecont Vision megapixel cameras to provide better image quality, greater system efficiencies and advanced functionality.

“Because megapixel imaging delivers significant improvements in image resolution and performance compared to standard-resolution cameras, an outdoor installation of this magnitude was a great fit for Arecont Vision,” said Becky Zhou, Asia Pacific sales director, Arecont Vision. “In addition to delivering lower bandwidth and storage requirements, Arecont Vision megapixel cameras dramatically decrease costs related to other elements of a system because fewer cameras are needed.”

KLGCC uses the Arecont Vision AV1355, a 1.3 megapixel MegaDome H.264 network IP camera providing 1280x1024-pixel images at 32 frames per second. The camera incorporates H.264 (MPEG-4, Part 10) compression to minimize bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining high-quality images. The 3 megapixel camera used at KLGCC is the Arecont Vision AV3105 Day/Night camera providing 2048x1536-pixel images at 15 frames per second and H.264 compression. Protecting outdoor cameras from the elements are Arecont Vision HSG1 environmental housings.

“With such a challenging installation, Arecont Vision was our first choice,” said Syed Baba bin Mohd Gous, business development manager of Sensorlink Sdn. Bhd., Kuala Lumpur, who designed the new system. “End users have become very savvy when evaluating imaging technology. They come to the table with expectations for high quality and low price points. Arecont Vision’s megapixel solutions meet those expectations and deliver the highest return on investment.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
