It serves the Sharjah Art Foundation as one of the premier venues for the Sharjah Biennial and for changing exhibitions, workshops and events. With this in mind, we at Oasis PPD design the surveillance, PA/VA/BGM systems for the facilities and to protect staff and visitors.

To achieve this, we had to identify a cost-effective Day/Night HD surveillance system combining robust performance with state-of-the-art functionality adding to it was a perfect sound system. Our Engineering team needed a solution to provide centralized control, reliable remote monitoring and full redundancy for key facilities at multiple sites located around.

Challenges: For CCTV system, allocating IDFs locations and Cabling work was very tough, since the objective of the site, nothing should be damage in due course. For Sound system, challenge was to cover the entire areas with sound, for which our engineer managed to provide the good results in achieving it.

Equipment included: Infinique 3PM Outdoor PTZ Cameras, 6MP Outdoor Box Cameras with 100m IR Illuminators for clear night vision even with 0 Lux level; Network video Server; a suite of VMS Software and network outdoor and indoor switches systems.
