Major German utility provider
Transforming security operations into a proactive, highly efficient hub that helps meet all necessary industry and regional requirements.
Helping secure critical infrastructure
Read how a major German utility provider transitioned from fragmented security systems to a unified ecosystem to help protect its critical infrastructure with Avigilon Unity.
Robust security cameras
Avigilon cameras deliver site-wide coverage and thermal views, enabling the team to enhance its awareness day and night.
AI-powered video analytics
AI video analytics, such as Unusual Activity Detection, filter out false alarms and bring attention to genuine events.
Intuitive video software
The Unity Video VMS automatically prioritizes critical events to help ensure operators address immediate threats.
Integrated access control
Access control allows remote management of entryways and provides live verification by linking access events with video.
Forward-thinking utility security
Discover why upgrading to the intelligent, unified Avigilon Unity solution enabled the German utility provider to do more than just record video and actively prevent disruptions.
Challenge: Remote sites face risks
With unmanned substations across vast geographic areas, the utility provider faced risks from unauthorized entry, copper theft and sabotage. Manually observing these remote locations from a central hub often left security teams in a reactive position, struggling to prevent incidents in low-light conditions.
Furthermore, legacy security systems frequently triggered false alarms. This noise led to alarm fatigue, overwhelming operators and making it difficult to respond to genuine threats quickly.
Solution: Unified video and access control
The utility provider selected Avigilon Unity, moving away from fragmented systems and choosing a unified security solution.
-
Proactive security operations
The organization has transitioned to a proactive security model that actively prevents disruptions rather than recording them.
-
Improved scalability
The unified Unity solution provides a robust foundation that is easy to scale as the utility provider expands the technology.
-
Regulatory compliance
The upgrade helps the utility provider meet necessary regional and industry requirements for protecting critical infrastructure.
Result: Future-proof security
This major utility provider showed that upgrading to an intelligent, unified security system does more than just record video – it actively prevents disruptions. By eliminating blind spots and reducing false alarms, the organization has transformed its security operations into a proactive, highly efficient hub while meeting all necessary regulations.
As the utility expands this technology across hundreds of cameras and dozens of sites, it is building a safer, more resilient power grid.
