We combat false alarms at AGBAR with video analytics.

Given the strategic importance of water supply, it is essential to implement robust perimeter security measures. This protects against external threats and potential intrusions. The security demands faced by AGBAR require a state-of-the-art video analytics system— a high-precision system that guarantees detection even in low visibility conditions and at long distances.

Agbar needs

The high rate of false alarms was one of the most crucial aspects to address. The facilities of Grupo AGBAR are critical infrastructures, which presents a significant challenge in terms of security. To meet protection objectives, it is essential to adapt solutions to the specific environment and effectively integrate advanced technologies.

“In the end, we have an alarm receiving center, and we receive a lot of false alarms that we have to filter. That is to say, if we have a reliable system, it will always help us to be more efficient and reduce them.”

Jordi Bonete, Director of Physical Security at Grupo AGBAR.

Solution

The collaboration between our technicians and AGBAR has facilitated the design and implementation of a robust and scalable perimeter security system. This intelligent and efficient system is designed to meet the security demands and threats associated with critical infrastructures. With the help of DFUSION, AGBAR has strengthened its security, ensuring both the continuous water supply and the integrity of its critical operations.

Technology

Our perimeter video analytics system has significantly optimized the process of filtering and verifying alarms in real-time. Thanks to DFUSION, the Alarm Receiving Center (ARC) now manages a much lower volume of false positives. The integration of the system with the cameras at Grupo AGBAR’s facilities has notably improved their performance and accuracy, transforming the CCTV cameras into more proactive and effective surveillance tools. This results in higher quality and resolution images due to advanced video analytics, as well as a reduction in false alarms.

“With DFUSION, we have noticed an effective reduction in false alarms.”
