Background

Delta Electronics’ Pingzhen Plant in Taiwan houses valuable energy storage cabinets and related equipment. Protecting these assets in large-scale energy storage systems requires comprehensive, system-wide operation and meticulous monitoring. These assets, crucial to the company's business operations, are stored remotely and require vigilant protection. The company sought an efficient solution for instant intrusion detection and surveillance of suspicious behavior to secure its assets.

Challenge

Delta Electronics’ energy storage systems, although indispensable, posed substantial security challenges. Energy storage cabinets are typically located in remote, sparsely populated areas or places with limited human and vehicular traffic. The isolation of these sites and the criticality of the equipment they house emphasized the need to address the potential for man-made damage and unlawful intrusion. Such incidents could result in substantial economic losses and pose serious risks to lives and property. This complex challenge called for a security solution capable of providing proactive and responsive security measures to counteract these potential threats.

Solution

The answer to Delta Electronics’ security challenge came in the form of VIVOTEK's VSaaS (cloud-based Video Surveillance as a Service) solution - VORTEX. This choice was driven by the following key features: -AI-Powered Intrusion Detection and Real-Time Alarm: This advanced technology significantly reduces false alarms by distinguishing between genuine security threats and common triggers, such us stray animals or minor intrusions, by identifying individuals, vehicles, and other objects.
