The sophisticated surveillance system is designed and installed by <strong>Keltron<\/strong> at a cost of around <strong>Rs 1.7 crore.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>46 CCTV<\/strong> cameras installed at various locations on the <strong>55-acre premises<\/strong> will monitor the compound round-the-clock. The surveillance system includes high-end cameras with facilities for pan, tilt and zoom. The images captured by the camera are fed to TV sets in a grid format with a time frequency of 3 seconds. The recorded visuals of every camera will be stored up to a month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Six cameras<\/strong> have been placed at both the main entrances and at Napier Museum. A control room has also been set up with six screens for monitoring the images. The cameras are installed at key positions in the Zoo and Museum complex and would be connected to the control room, which also has an announcement facility. These cameras can rotate in 360 degree and are equipped to capture images even beyond a distance of <strong>300 metres.<\/strong> Stationary cameras have also been installed to get images of a particular place alone.<\/p>\n<p>The entire security system is ready and presently the <strong>Keltron<\/strong> authorities are conducting trial runs. According to the agreement with Keltron, the officials here will control the facility for 3 years. Keltron is also giving training for the staff here on how to operate and monitor the facility.<\/p>\n<p>The authorities also plan to install <strong>two big screens<\/strong>, one inside the zoo and the other at the entrance, so that criminals are aware that they are being monitored. Every day, thousands of people visit the zoo, museums and the garden. The surveillance system will help the officials and also the police to respond quickly to any situation as they can keep a watch over the entire premises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the renovation project,Trivandrum City Zoo has been brought under surveillance system by the Museum and zoo officials.
