Cal Coast Telecom Wires New Camera System Upgrades At The Santa Clara Convention Center

Cal Coast Telecom’s $130,000 makeover of the Santa Clara Convention Center’s video surveillance system upgraded major portions of the Closed-Caption Television (CCTV), taking it from analog to digital, and replacing out-of-date cameras with the latest in technology.

Cal Coast Telecom partnered with Pelco Security Cameras, one of the leading manufacturers for commercial security installations, to update the video surveillance for the 302,000-sq.-ft.Convention Center. The 72 new Pelco Power over Ethernet (PoE) IP cameras installed by Cal Coast Telecom replaced two outdated analog camera systems, that existed on two different video software platforms which were managed separately. The new systems monitor internal areas including corridors, cash rooms, kitchen facilities, emergency exit doors, and other doors along the perimeter.

The CCTV system is monitored in the Convention Center’s head end room through video. Cal Coast Telecom set up several client monitoring stations that allow surveillance on all video cameras. The client monitoring stations can be viewed from computers by security personnel and other authorized staff members.
