Hikvision provided an integrated township video door phone (VDP) solution with video security cameras for Estate Eco Symphony apartments, a luxurious residential complex in Ranchi. The solution provided a smart living experience cherished and appreciated by all the residents.
Estate Eco Symphony offers comfortable and stylish apartments specifically designed to suit residential requirements and conveniences. There are 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments for families. The property has 3 towers, with 15 floors each and 139 units. Spread over an area of 1.7 acres, Estate Eco Symphony is one of the most spacious housing societies in the Ranchi region. With all the basic amenities available, the Estate Eco Symphony project was a unique challenge from a system integration perspective. The core team of developers thoughtfully added the dimension of premium security to this premium residential property.
The innovative multi-apartment security solution was designed with the help of Hikvision's solution team based on the developers' and residents' wish lists. The bespoke security solution was the perfect fit for residents; it offered total security while assuring 100 per cent peace of mind.
A unique feature of the VDP system of the IoT device is its panic trigger at the master station, which is designed for quick emergency response. When pressed, it instantly initiates an audio call to the security team and designated contacts, sending a real-time distress alert and the caller's location. This audio connection enables residents to communicate their emergencies easily.
The audio panic trigger provides residents a quick, effective way to request assistance, ensuring immediate alerts to security personnel. This feature enhances overall safety and offers peace of mind by supporting rapid responses during urgent situations. A unique feature of this VDP system is its 10.1-inch IPS Touch Screen Control Hub with Advanced Intercom and Access Capabilities. With a high-resolution 1280 x 800 display, it acts as a centralised control station, supporting up to 10,000 video door phone devices and 128 network cameras for comprehensive surveillance and communication across large communities.
This system's video door phone flexibility stands out: it offers advanced call functions like call waiting, priority settings, call forwarding (including scheduled forwarding and Single-touch options), and intercom across multiple buildings, ensuring smooth communication throughout the premises. It also supports standard POE and 12 VDC power, allowing for versatile installation options.
The device also connects seamlessly to external audio equipment, such as a gooseneck microphone or headphones, enhancing audio clarity for effective communication. HDMI output can display operation pages on larger screens, making it ideal for security teams managing high-traffic areas or extensive facilities. This combination of high-performance intercom features, scalability, and seamless external device support makes it a powerful, all-in-one solution for advanced security and access control.
The system provides a unified platform where security personnel can monitor and manage all entry points across the township. This centralised control enables streamlined oversight and faster response times.
Visitors can call the entry gate to the master station & convey their purpose of visit accordingly, which can be verified by the security person & thus, a decision can be made by the security person allowing or disallowing. Residents receive instant visitor video calls through the app (Hik-Connect), allowing them to visually verify and communicate with visitors before granting access. This feature adds a crucial layer of security and peace of mind for residents.
Through our app, Hik-Connect, residents can remotely control access to their home or community, even when they're not on the premises. This flexibility is especially valuable for residents with busy schedules, allowing them to manage entry from anywhere, anytime, compatible with IOS & Android.
The VDP solution integrates smoothly with other township security systems, like CCTV cameras and alarm systems, providing a holistic approach to safety. This interconnected setup enables enhanced monitoring and a more robust, unified security infrastructure benefiting the end user.
After implementing integrated VDP systems with Video Verifications, townships typically report a 99 per cent reduction in unauthorised access attempts. This reduction is due to precise visitor verification, which deters potential intruders and minimises unauthorised entries.
Video door phone solutions enable instant visitor verification by allowing residents to live view, conduct video calls, and approve access locally or remotely. This streamlined process reduces entry-point wait times, leading to a smoother visitor experience and greater resident convenience with secured access.
By consolidating access control, surveillance, and visitor management into a single integrated system, townships see up to 45 per cent savings on security personnel and infrastructure costs. Automated access management and centralised monitoring through mobile apps reduce the need for constant on-site staffing and costly manual processes.
Surveys from communities with integrated video door phone systems show residents report feeling safer and more satisfied with the security measures. Real-time access to visitor information and control over entry points. Build resident's trust and improve the overall quality of life.
Integrated systems are designed to accommodate growth, allowing townships to expand security capabilities as they grow. The system's flexibility in adding devices and entry points without major upgrades ensures a future-proof solution that scales with community needs.
As one enters the complex, the first layer of security greets him at the main gate, with high-definition CCTV and ANPR cameras diligently capturing every human and vehicle's number plate. The ANPR cameras are integrated with four boom barriers, reinforced by anti-fall radars and trigger radars, providing access only to authorised vehicles and residents.
At the Hikvision master station, visitors and delivery personnel must register and can communicate directly with residents via two-way audio and video, displayed live on the VDP Indoor Units. Residents receive instant alerts on their smartphones or VDP indoor units at home, allowing them to grant remote access and ensuring that only authorised individuals enter the complex.
The property has 139 flats, with each indoor and outdoor video door phone unit enabling seamless communication and monitoring. The visitor's snapshots are automatically saved, and residents can view up to 16 live camera feeds from their homes. Inside the complex, mini dome cameras monitor every elevator, eight in total, one in each lift, ensuring no corner of the building is left unobserved.
The cameras installed in the clubhouse and playground areas are all integrated with the VDP Indoor Units of each home, where children enjoy carefree moments with safety and security. 65 high-definition fixed bullet cameras and 92 fixed dome cameras work tirelessly throughout the premises, providing comprehensive, 24-by-7 surveillance.
The integrated VDP solution is highly scalable, designed to accommodate diverse locations and adapt to various building types, making it ideal for expanding communities or multi-structure premises. Its IP-based infrastructure and cloud connectivity allow seamless additions of new entry points, devices, or buildings without major overhauls, enabling efficient growth across different locations.
Sumeet Agrawal, Director of Estate Eco Symphony, said, "Estate Eco Symphony is the first ever green building project in the Jharkhand state. It is premium and exclusive. Residents are very concerned about their kids when they go to school or play on the building campus. To address this issue, we offered unparalleled security and video security systems. The Hikvision India team offers an entire range of security products and solutions. It was a one-stop solution. We liked the Hikvision security solution and decided to go ahead with it."
