Solution
The solution implemented by SCATI in the headquarters of Telefonica- Movistar in Mexico DF includes more than 200 recording platforms, located in different buildings all around the country. Its main goal is to develop a powerful video surveillance network with more than 3,000 cameras connected. This facility is managed with the SCATI tools: SCATI WACTHER, SCATI ROUND and SCATI WALL. They are all managed from Telefonica’s control center. The SCATI VISION recording platforms offer high availability and fault redundancy, and also a new point of view to mass storage needs with high-capacity and performance.

The combination of the different security elements needed to guarantee the comprehensive protection of the corporate buildings enables the availability of high-quality and high-resolution images, in case something happens. SCATI video surveillance solution offers high-availability, data redundancy in case one disk fails and automatic failover capabilities.
It is a security platform that enables the security department of the company to have an integrated solution that can be handled by a control center – a fully scalable solution that could support the development of the security facility as the corporative building needs change.
