NOS Maximizes Security Efficiency with IPROTECT AC

Location: Hilversum, The Netherlands
Client: NOS
NOS, a leading Dutch broadcasting organization, needed a security solution that delivers complete operational control, reliability, and efficiency across multiple security disciplines.
Challenge
NOS’s security environment involved complex operations across multiple domains - video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, parking management, visitor registration, and intercom systems. The key challenges were:
- Ensuring continuous and reliable surveillance across 160 cameras.
- Streamlining visitor and employee access to reduce manual workload.
- Minimizing false alarms and improving response times.
- Coordinating multiple systems so security personnel could act proactively rather than reactively.
- Guaranteeing long-term dependability and scalability.
NOS needed a solution that would simplify security management, save operational time, and enhance safety.
Solution
IPROTECT provided a fully integrated security platform that transformed NOS’s operations:
- Seamless Access Control: 400 card readers with automated visitor management reduce administrative overhead. Visitor cards are instantly recycled, enabling faster throughput and eliminating human error.
- Proactive Surveillance: 160 IP cameras and 7 video servers deliver continuous monitoring. Staff can make informed decisions in real time, with access approval supported by live video.
- Efficient Parking Management: Five parking areas are managed automatically, including visitor fee processing, saving staff time and reducing errors.
- Integrated Intrusion Detection: 500 detectors paired with video verification prevent false alarms, ensuring security teams respond only when necessary.
- Smart Intercom Integration: 45 intercom posts automatically link to the correct camera feeds, allowing instant visual verification of access requests.
- Reliable, Scalable System: Annual maintenance ensures the system remains fully functional, while its design allows easy expansion to meet future security needs.
