Case Study: Roumieh Prison in Lebanon achieves enhanced security and 24/7 surveillance with Milestone Systems

Roumieh Prison in Lebanon - Customer Case Study

Arecont Vision, a leader in megapixel video, supplied a comprehensive surveillance solution for Roumieh Prison in Lebanon after the facility experienced riots, internal crime, contraband issues and variable lighting challenges across five buildings and large inmate populations. Authorities and integrator Guardia Systems sought a reliable system that could improve monitoring, withstand vandalism attempts, and provide clear evidence for investigations.

Guardia Systems installed 139 Arecont Vision MegaDome cameras (24×5MP and 115×3MP) integrated with Milestone VMS and monitored 24/7 from a 15-operator command center. The cameras’ low-light and true WDR performance, simplified installation, and competitive pricing delivered clear, actionable footage—even during smoke and fire—and helped investigators respond to incidents and improve overall security; vandal-resistant enclosures were later introduced to further protect the system.
