47.2 Detailed CCTV System Requirements
The CCTV central control system shall be an IP based solution utilizing the Media Controller Video software-
based management system. Remote camera signals are standard PAL Video and RS485 serial Data which
interface the central CCTV equipment racks using fiber optic transceivers. Two nos. of 21” LCD monitors shall
be located at Main Admin Control Room.
The Multiple camera viewing shall be viewed on a single screen and an option shall be given to enlarge a single
screen. CCTV workstation will integrate all anti-intrusion alarms for external perimeter fence by providing an
alarm time and date log along with camera positional response using preset commands (RS232/RS485), any
ant intrusion alarm interrogation will require user intervention on the anti-intrusion CCTV workstation. The
alarm triggers will be sourced and related to dedicated zones assigned on the anti-intrusion CAMS (Intruder
Detection System), the applicable cameras which respond will be assigned within the CCTV video management
software relating to a configured alarm number.
The intruder detection system shall indicate through this link to the CCTV system when the Intruder Detection
system has been activated and in which zone, so that the relevant alarm can be raised and the CCTV cameras
in that zone automatically views on designated monitors. 8 Channel TCP/IP Encoders shall interface these
PAGE 147
Design and Construction of Maliha STP
video and date signals across local area network. Dual channel fiber receiver cards shall have 2 inputs (for 2
cameras), these are used for receiving video signals from the cameras.

Cameras shall have ¼” Lens which has a capability of 35x Optical zoom at perimeter surveillance. Decoder with
FO converter shall be provided to convert the camera analogue signal into optical signals for transmission to
the central CCTV equipment. These PTZ cameras shall be located around the perimeter fence. The cameras
spacing shall be based on the focal length of the lenses, the percentages “fill” of the monitor and the size of
the target to be displayed. The recommended spacing is based on the lenses detailed above. A 10% screen fill
and the target being a human being at 1.75 meters tall. Using this data, the recommended maximum distance
between cameras is 550 meters. The 10% screen fill shall allow the operator to recognize the object as a
human being but not identify the person.
The Fixed camera with vary focal length shall be provided in the various process areas locations inside the
plant. CCTV location drawing shall be proposed by the Contractor to the approval of the Engineer and
Employer for approval.
