Sustainable IDIS Video Solution for London

An advanced, end-to-end video solution from IDIS, with a focus on reducing waste and costs, has helped a major office development in the City of London align its security with sustainability objectives.

The development, located just a short walk from St Paul’s in the heart of the Square Mile, is powered by 100% green energy and features planted terraces that provide significant urban greening and biodiversity benefits. Thanks to an ambitious reuse and retention strategy, the development is carbon-neutral in both construction and operation.

Supporting this strategy, IDIS integration partner Phoenix Trescray was awarded the contract to deliver a 24/7 HD surveillance solution covering the building exterior, including a Grade 2 heritage sculpture, entrances, bike storage, and priority internal areas, such as the reception, lifts, corridors, and service areas. In line with the developer’s minimal-waste objectives, the IDIS video solution was chosen for its cost-efficiency in installation and operation, long lifespan, and flexibility for future adaptation.

IDIS 5MP vandal-resistant IR dome cameras with PoE were installed throughout the interior to minimize cabling requirements, featuring 2.8 mm wide-angle lenses that provide the best field of view. A combination of 5MP IR dome cameras and 5MP IR bullet cameras with two-way audio, built-in heaters, covers the building exterior and entrances. The video solution, using the cost and license-free IDIS Center VMS software, is controlled by security staff from PC workstations and monitored at reception using a 2×2 video display via an HDMI matrix splitter.

Jamie Barnfield, Senior Sales Director, IDIS Europe, says plans to extend the system include developing a dedicated security control room, introducing AI-powered video analytics in targeted locations to provide automated detection and alerts, and installing additional cameras.

“The IDIS solution was fast and easy to install, with plug-and-play setup of cameras, recorders, and VMS software all contributing to project delivery on time and within budget,” he says. “And crucially, we are supporting the customer’s sustainability objectives long term, with extended system life cycles, reduced waste, and easy options to expand and adapt whenever required.”
