Hikvision Europe Secures Water Park in Italy

A surveillance system provided by Hikvision Europe helped secure Acquapark Onda Blu in Tortoreto, Italy, a water park with more than one million square feet of attractions.

Acquapark Onda Blu previously had an analog security system with only five cameras to cover the entire park. Italy-based Hikvision integrator Marco De Nicolais began with system upgrades to the existing cabling and data transportation infrastructure. The integrator installed 32 Hikvision DS-2CD2T42WD-I8 bullet security cameras to monitor the water slides, corridors leading to and from the water attractions, and entry/exit areas for the river.

 

What are the Benefits of Hikvision?

  • Lenses

The Hikvision IP camera lenses have a wider coverage, so whilst they are more expensive than standard CCTV cameras, you will need to purchase less of them to cover the same area.

  • Analytics

Most Hikvision IP CCTV systems arrive inbuilt with analytics ability, meaning you don’t have to make an extra investment in analytics software.

  • Resolution

Often in the case of Hikvision IP cameras, a better resolution of image can be obtained due to the greater amount of megapixels. This also allows you superior clarity when zooming in on your pre-recorded footage.

  • Easy to use

If you’re not very tech-savvy, Hikvision cameras could be ideal for you as they are easy to use and understand.

  • Expandable

Hikvision systems are expandable, which is useful for the future. If you can only afford a certain number of cameras at the beginning, you will always have the option to include new cameras should your business ever expand or require extra security.

  • Simple installation

Generally, products from Hikvision are simple to install, meaning your new security system can be up and running in no time at all.

 

Is Hikvision safe?

As the largest manufacturer of surveillance equipment on the planet, Hikvision's security credentials have justifiably come under a lot of scrutiny. Some of the stories being posted, however – unsurprisingly by blogs linked to their American competitors – seem to be just be unjustified paranoia.

 

How can I prevent my Hikvison Camera from being hacked?

 

Change your password from default!

The first thing you would ever need to do is change your password after setting up your camera. The reason for this is because all Hikvision systems’ passwords are by default “12345”, which means anyone would be able to access it if you do not change it. We have shared a wat to do so further in this article. Changing default passwords for a new security camera system should be a no-brainer in this day and age. So, the lesson here is to not overlook the small details. All the firewalls and hardened network protocols in the world won’t help if an unauthorized user can simply log in with a commonly used or factory-set password to gain remote access to indoor outdoor surveillance.

IP Cameras

An Internet Protocol camera, or IP camera, is a type of digital video camera that receives control data and sends image data via the Internet.
