Minh Long I's porcelain manufacturing is extremely complex, so it is highly necessary to install a professional IP-based surveillance system for production monitoring, which consists of 30 processes, starting with the extraction of the raw material to the final stage of porcelain decoration.

The IP-surveillance system for Minh Long I includes more than 250 units of IP cameras. The reason that ACTi cameras were chosen over others was due to its high video quality as well as MPEG-4 ASP efficient compression standard. 210 pieces of IP box camera, ACTi CAM-5300, were installed in order to monitor porcelain production; 30 units of IP fixed dome, ACTi CAM-7200, were chosen for the monitoring of office activities.

The brand new IP-based system allows the authorised users from the company to access to the system via Internet Explorer.

They can retrieve real-time videos through their personal PCs at home. Distance or time is no longer an issue, 24-hours monitoring will help the company to achieve a more meticulous surveillance control for its human resource and for the production process.
