Development when installing and connecting surveillance cameras in isolated areas The Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) has just announced that it has completed the installation of more than 2,400 surveillance cameras in 150 concentrated isolation facilities in 32 provinces/cities from Da Nang onward. The main features of the camera system are live monitoring (live view), playback (play back), user authorization (user groups), user data protection, access logging, and tracking. regulations to meet the requirements of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 prevention and control. Advanced features will continue to be updated according to actual requests from the Steering Committee and the Ministry of Information and Communications. The system is designed according to edge computing model, helping to connect, process and store with low latency and unlimitedly expand processing capacity when needed. In particular, ensuring the security and safety of images and data is a top priority, when the entire system is protected at data centers that meet international standards. The decentralization and decentralization of system access are strictly followed and comply with the requirements of the National Steering Committee, the Steering Committees in the provinces/cities and the Management Division in the isolation area for image monitoring. 24/7 by hierarchy. In order to support the system to operate stably 24/7, VNPT has arranged a team of monitoring, operation and support in each locality, according to strict service standards. In addition, to meet the new requirements of the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, VNPT Group is investing in an infrastructure system to meet the connection of 10,000 surveillance cameras in isolation areas… Previously, in order to strictly comply with regulations on concentrated isolation and management after the end of centralized isolation, the Ministry of Information and Communications asked the People’s Committees of provinces and cities to review the facilities. substances in concentrated isolation areas, ensuring close monitoring of quarantined people; The concentrated isolation areas must have enough cameras to monitor the quarantined people to take measures to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic as prescribed. In addition, the Ministry of Information and Communications has directed Viettel Group and VNPT Group to build a monitoring system and coordinate with the Departments of Information and Communications of provinces and cities to conduct surveys and connect surveillance cameras. in the isolation area to the centralized monitoring system designated by the Ministry of Information and Communications. Up to now, Viettel Group has also completed the installation and integrated connection of 3,000 surveillance cameras in isolated areas in the northern provinces. Particularly for 130 isolation facilities in 125 communes of Bac Giang province, Viettel has mobilized resources to install 1,000 more cameras. All image data from the camera is integrated into a centralized management system at the Control Center. The system applies cloud computing technology, allowing the National Steering Committee, Steering Committees in provinces and management departments in isolated areas to monitor images 24/7 according to decentralization.
