Madrid Municipal Police Outfits Patrol Cars with VIVOTEK Cameras
The Madrid Municipal Police (Policía Municipal de Madrid, PMM) completed a major project to install VIVOTEK cameras in its patrol cars. Based under criteria of the Technical Services of the General Security Management of the Madrid Council, the implementation of the project was led by local system integrator Plettac Electronics using cameras from VIVOTEK distributor LSB. A total of 126 VIVOTEK cameras were used for the project, including the PZ8121W and IP8332.
The PZ8121W cameras were installed on top of the dashboard in patrol cars for monitoring the vehicle’s interior and the immediate surrounding area. By taking advantage of the camera’s built-in 3GPP mobile connectivity and WiFi support, images captured by the camera are transmitted over the Internet to a control center at police headquarters for monitoring, recording, and management. Staff there, then were able to take advantage of the PZ8121W’s motorized pan, tilt, and 10x zoom capabilities to focus on specific objects, persons, or events of interest.
