Control Rooms – Eyevis Video Wall Enables Central Monitoring of Car Parks

SAEMES (the Société Anonyme d'Economie Mixte d'Exploitation du Stationnement), a semi-public parking system operator, operates more than 90 car parks in the city area of Paris. Over four million visitors use them each year. A new control room has been installed for the central surveillance of the CCTV camera images and management of the car parks all over the city.

From this central location, the control room staff respond to all service requests and emergency calls from the clients in the car parks, so no human presence in the car parks is actually necessary. To visualize the CCTV camera signals, Eyevis has installed a 7m² video wall, consisting of twelve 46" type EYE-LCD-4600-M-USN-LD displays. The incoming signals are controlled by a Netpix 4800 graphics controller and the Eyecon wall management software.

The goal of the new control room was to increase the surveillance level of the car parks and thus to increase the safety of the parked cars. The control room therefore operates around the clock, answering more than 3,000 service requests and emergency calls each week. The reliability of the displays is therefore really important. With full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 Px), direct LED backlight for optimum brightness and contrast, and a very narrow border between neighboring units of just 5.7mm, the displays provide a homogeneous picture quality along
