Dahua security solution upgraded all the surveillance equipment in the Cathedral

The Toledo Cathedral is one of the three 13th-century High Gothic cathedrals and is considered, in the opinion of some authorities, to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style worldwide. In all ages, the Spanish take cultural relics protection as their social responsibility. To ensure proper maintenance and accidents prevention, Spanish religious institution wants a company which has a professional team and advanced technological products.

Security management

In the control centre of the Cathedral, administrators can have a full-aspect monitoring of each area in the temple, as well as the tapestry museum facilities through Dahua cameras. A hybrid HDCVI and IP solution was chosen to provide Toledo Cathedral security management with the best possible image quality. Besides the basic functions of recording and real time live view, the system has built in heat detection, magnetic detection, intruder detection & fire detection functions. Dahua security solution provided technical support to the integration with the rest of the security systems in the Cathedral, such as Agora’s PSIM. High resolution 5 Megapixels IP cameras and 2 Megapixel HDCVI cameras were successfully deployed. The very same coaxial cable from the previous plain-old analogue CCTV system was re-used to install HDCVI cameras. It saved cost on cabling work and reduced the risk of damaging the historical structure.

Upgraded security solutions

Dahua security solution upgraded all the surveillance equipment in the Cathedral. With the help of Dahua customized installation support, cameras are tactically positioned to make it unnoticed by churchgoers and tourists. At the same time, the control centre could have full-aspect monitoring of every corner to stay in control and adopt corresponding measures to different incidents.
