Securing NIT Srinagar Campus with Impulse Solutions

The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar, located in Uttarakhand, is one of India’s premier technical institutions. With thousands of students, staff, and visitors present on campus daily, ensuring round-the-clock safety and security is a top priority. The institution required a robust, scalable, and future-ready CCTV surveillance system capable of covering vast areas while delivering high-definition video, advanced analytics, and reliable storage.

Project Objective

To deploy a comprehensive security surveillance system across the NIT Srinagar campus that ensures:

• Full coverage of academic blocks, hostels, and common areas.
• Real-time monitoring with high-resolution imaging.
• Advanced analytics for proactive security.
• Scalable storage and seamless video playback.

Impulse CCTV Solution

Dome Camera

For indoor surveillance in classrooms, laboratories, and administrative offices, Impulse deployed the Dome Camera. This 5MP fixed network device comes equipped with a 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor and a 3.6mm fixed lens, offering sharp and clear imaging. With an IR range of up to 60 meters, it ensures visibility even in low-light conditions. The built-in microphone enables audio recording, while features like quad stream support, SD card storage, ONVIF compatibility, WDR, auto/manual shutter, and edge analytics with motion detection make it a comprehensive solution for discreet yet powerful monitoring.

Bullet Camera

To secure outdoor areas such as entrance gates, parking zones, and perimeter boundaries, the Bullet Camera was implemented. This 5MP fixed lens network device features a 1/2.5″ CMOS sensor, a 3.6mm lens, and an IR range of up to 50 meters, delivering clear visuals day and night. It also comes with a built-in microphone, quad stream, SD card support, WDR, auto/manual shutter, and advanced edge analytics with motion detection. Its robust design makes it ideal for outdoor conditions while maintaining consistent performance.

PTZ Camera

For monitoring larger areas such as playgrounds, open spaces, and main campus roads, Impulse deployed the PTZ Camera. This high-performance 5MP IP device is powered by a 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor and offers a 40X optical zoom with a focal length ranging from 4.25mm to 170mm. Its powerful IR range of up to 200 meters ensures reliable coverage even at night. In addition to quad stream and SD card support, it is equipped with WDR, auto/manual shutter, motion detection, edge analytics with auto-tracking, presets, tours, and line scan functionality. Audio and alarm input/output further enhance its capability, enabling security teams to actively monitor and respond to events in real time.

Network Video Recorder

At the heart of the surveillance system is the Network Video Recorder. This 64-channel H.265 device comes with 8 SATA support and a recording bandwidth of 640 Mbps, delivering seamless performance even with multiple camera feeds. Supporting 4K resolution for both preview and playback, it allows the security staff to access high-definition footage with ease. Its scalability ensures that additional cameras can be integrated in the future, making it a long-term solution for campus-wide security.

Results & Impact

The deployment of Impulse CCTV solutions at NIT Srinagar delivered significant benefits:

• Enhanced Security Coverage: Complete surveillance of classrooms, hostels, and outdoor areas.
• 24/7 Monitoring: Clear video output with night vision ensured round-the-clock vigilance.
• Proactive Incident Response: Edge analytics and PTZ auto-tracking empowered security staff to detect and respond to threats in real time.
• Scalable Infrastructure: The 64-channel NVR allows easy addition of new cameras, future-proofing the campus security system.
• Peace of Mind: Students, faculty, and visitors benefit from a safer environment supported by advanced surveillance technology.

Conclusion

By deploying a mix of dome, bullet, and PTZ cameras supported by a powerful NVR, NIT Srinagar successfully established a reliable, scalable, and intelligent surveillance infrastructure. This project demonstrates Impulse CCTV’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge security solutions tailored to the unique needs of educational institutions across India.
