Case Study: City of Scottsdale strengthens water supply security with March Networks video surveillance

Safety of Water Supply Critical in Post 9/11 World

The City of Scottsdale Water Resources Department required a robust video surveillance system to secure its critical water infrastructure across 82 remote sites, including water treatment plants, pumping stations, and wells. To address the security challenges in a post-9/11 world, the city selected a bandwidth-friendly video solution from March Networks.

March Networks implemented its video surveillance systems, including Hybrid Network Video Recorders with both fixed and PTZ cameras. The solution delivered high-quality video over a wireless network, with advanced compression to handle limited bandwidth at remote sites. The system's health monitoring feature provided proactive alerts to prevent performance issues, and the 24/7 control center could dispatch police in response to alarms. This March Networks system provided the city with a comprehensive security solution to help ensure the safety of its water supply.
