Case Study

Perimeter & Interior IP Surveillance over a Wireless Network

Bulk Oil Storage & Transport Accra Ghana


As a result of incurring reported operational losses due to the theft of products and assets onsite, Bulk Oil Storage & Transportation Co. Ltd. (BOST) approached the security systems installer in the country, JIDEM Security, to design and specify a perimeter IP surveillance system, with Public Address over IP capability from a central location. The requirement outlined the provision of a dedicated CCTV monitoring control site within the facility to accommodate recording capabilities and monitoring staff on a 24/7 basis as part of an ongoing contract.

The solution

The design, planning and implementation of an end-to-end HD IP CCTV system, delivered to a dedicated control room facility within the site premises was carried out with the help of a Wavesight designed and provisioned wireless network infrastructure – utilising a host of Wavesight radio products and industrial interconnects to facilitate a comprehensive day/ night Megapixel perimeter surveillance system. Further the wireless network infrastructure was leveraged by integrating a Public Address system used by the security control room operators.

JIDEM Security in partnership with Wavesight, scoped the project through the design and planning stages to include a total of 55 IP cameras comprising a combination of 1080p/ 720p IR equipped CCTV sensors, to be displayed across a 7 monitor video wall with operator client workstations. Wavesight designed the wireless network to accommodate all CCTV sensors and the interconnects, and integrated an IP Public Address system. Wavesight also provided on-site consultancy and commissioning support to ensure that the system was deployed quickly and efficiently in order to minimise any operational disruptions. Within a few hours of the first cameras coming online, evidence was already being collected that empowered the BOST management team to assess and plan to rectify the risks associated with theft related activities and other operational efficiency related activities.

This is the first end-to-end IP CCTV system deployed over a wireless network in the country.
