In Beijing, with the consideration of high reliability, temperature resistance capability, and lower bandwidth, ACTi's Video Server, SED-2120T has been chosen to be integrated into the forest fire-proof system.

With no doubt, forest is one of the most precious resource and treasure of a country. Not only it is with economic value but also it has the functionality of maintaining eco-system and ensuring conservation of water and soil. Needless to say, forest conservation is one of the urgent missions for every country. And one is the important item of this action is fire-proof in forest areas since the most harmful damage to the forest is wildfire.

In the need of modernizing the forest fire-proof and alarm system, nowadays, this system will require to do real-time monitoring, manage any accidental fire alarm and deal with any other unusual incidents. However, all of these requirements are hardly to be fulfilled by a traditional CCTV surveillance system. Therefore, as the technology leader in IP surveillance, ACTi was able to cooperate with Beijing government in establishing an all-digital, wireless IP surveillance forest fire-proof and alarm system.

Up to now, Beijing has been installed 10 units of ACTi SED-2120 video server for this project. Since the forest regions are located in different areas, meanwhile, all the IP surveillance equipments needed to be installed over high mountains, there is no way to use traditional cabling to facilitate the signal transmission. Under these conditions, the wireless transmission seems the only way out. Withthe outstanding advantage of low bandwidth requirement, ACTi SED-2120T is the most favorable products for wireless solutions. like any other ACTi products,  SED-2120 video server provides good video quality with very low latency. D1 images running at 30 frames per second allowed the user to view clear and smooth video from a remote location greater than a few kilometers away.

Besides, there is another very critical reason for Beijing Forestry Bureau to choose ACTi SED-2120T is its high performance in temperature- resistance and durability. This is because all the devices should be installed over high mountains and we can image that it would be difficult for equipment maintenance. As a governing unit, all the chosen devices should have the ability to work under hazardous environment. ACTI SED-2120 is able to operate stably in the working temperature from -30 degrees to 70 degrees. With this unique feature, Beijing is very satisfied with ACTi SED-2120T video server.
