 OIL AND CHEMICAL
 ConocoPhillips Specialty Products Inc., Byron, TexasThe DETEXI system is used for both perimeter monitoring and process visualization in this facility. ConocoPhillips Specialty Products, Inc. manufactures specialty chemicals at this facility and requires explosion proof, sealed Class1 Division1 cameras which were supplied by Volpe Industries.
 The solution provides effective process monitoring which allows video to be viewed remotely from within the facility's control room and offices.
"Volpe Industries was a pleasure to work with. Our system came pre-configured which allowed for an extremely quick installation. The Detexi system is very easy to use and modify which allows us to evolve our system as our needs grow."

WATER / WASTEWATER
Cohasset Water Treatment Plant, Cohasset, Massachusetts
The DETEXI system implemented at the Cohasset Water Treatment Plant is spread across a combination LAN, Wireless Radio, and Cable Modem network that ties together several locations of interest around the town of Cohasset.
A combination of hardware motion sensors and software motion sensing techniques are in use along with Fixed and PTZ network cameras allowing for maximum alarming capability with minimal false alarms. DETEXI’s ability to seamlessly integrate alarm video pushed from the camera to the DETEXI NVR via FTP events, prevents the quality of archived video from being sacrificed for cameras across low-bandwidth wireless radios. The Task Engine is used to respond to motion alarms by notifying officials of alarms via text messages on their cell phones, and automatically moving all PTZ cameras near the alarm area for maximum video coverage of the alarm. "With the implementation of the DETEXI system, we now have complete visibility of all our key water system locations. We also find that DETEXI is very useful in keeping track of all activities related to our water distribution system. Overall, we are very pleased with the quality of the system and the service of Volpe Industries"

HEALTH CARE
Longmont Hospital, Longmont, Colorado
Longmont has 40 existing analog cameras that were converted to IP video through an Analog to IP converter Blade Server provided by Volpe Industries.
This allowed these cameras to be easily integrated with the DETEXI system, making them accessible from any DETEXI client on the network.
A wireless DETEXI PDA client is also used by Security for mobile connectivity. The cameras are used in a variety of locations throughout the hospital for monitoring and recording critical areas. Upon the request of Longmont, the Volpe Industries team provided a special floating PTZ camera that can be wirelessly deployed in problem areas throughout the facility. "We literarily powered up the DETEXI system, switched over our existing 40 cameras and were viewing video within minutes. Because Volpe Industries configured the system for us, we were able to come online with minimal effort.
The DETEXI system is very easy to use and modify which allows us flexibility as our needs expand. It was a pleasure working with the Volpe Industries team and we look forward to expanding our system"

CITY FACILITIES
Longmont — City-wide, Longmont, Colorado
The City of Longmont is currently deploying Volpe Industries equipment as an enterprise-wide surveillance system. Currently the main areas of focus are the city's water supply and filtration areas as well as the city library, recreational, and memorial centers.
For the water facilities, the DETEXI System is used for perimeter monitoring and water supply visualization throughout the Longmont area. The solution allows video to be viewed locally at the water treatment plant as well as remotely at the municipal offices. The site was challenging because of its terrain as well as other constraints. Volpe Industries team recommended a wireless system that saved the city thousands in wiring costs. The Longmont City Library later joined the city-wide solution in their use of the DETEXI equipment due to a few growing security concerns. The City Library IP surveillance system consists of cameras placed throughout the library and around the perimeter.
Longmont now has local and remote live monitoring in place as well as records of all activity in and around the library during and after normal operating hours. The city’s Memorial Center, Recreational Center, and Centennial Pool are the latest sites of interest to tie into the City-wide DETEXI surveillance system. These three sites are all maintained in one DETEXI NVR, making three total networked NVRs that are remotely monitored and administered from the Civic Center using the Domain Controller feature.

"With multiple DETEXI systems up and running, we have several other departments looking forward to implementing their own. With the domain controlling functionality, I´ll be able to administer them all very easily here in the Civic Center."
Kurt Headrick
Senior Network Analyst
City of Longmont
"We have a variety of wired and wireless cameras on our DETEXI system that were all very easy to implement. The DETEXI system is very easy to use and modify which allows us to evolve our system as our needs grow."

CAMPUS SURVEILLANCE
Cohasset School System, Cohasset, Massachusetts
The public schools in Cohasset, like many schools across the country, are increasing security on their campuses. All three in the town of Cohasset, have implemented DETEXI Systems for video surveillance and archiving, access control, and internal alarming for motion within a specified time frame.
The applications consist of a combination of fixed and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras for maximum coverage, and an intercom system at the front door with built in video at each school. The video/intercom combined with the DETEXI Network Video Recorder software allows for secretaries and staff to be alerted with audio and video when someone needs to gain access to the school. With DETEXI client software installed throughout the school, the grounds can be monitored when necessary, or archived video can be pulled to recall any events that occurred in high resolution video. The security measures being fulfilled by the DETEXI System at the schools should minimize false threats made in attempt to cancel school and possible vandalism, as well as help to ensure student and staff safety.

"With the implementation of this system, we now have complete visibility throughout the entire school system. We find the DETEXI system to be easy to use, yet powerful in its abilities. Volpe Industries did a great job getting the system deployed and the staff trained and we look forward to many years of safe operations."

CORPORATE SURVEILLANCE
Bicon Dental Implants, Boston, Massachusetts
Bicon is one of the world’s leading dental implant manufacturers. For over 20 years, the Bicon System has offered dentists and patients a permanent and aesthetic solution for missing teeth. At the Bicon facility, there is a state of the art conference center, a first class dental clinic and dental laboratory as well as the sales and marketing offices for Bicon.
Cameras are strategically located throughout the building for security and office management. There is a combination of fixed and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras, both inside and out. The Detexi Network Video Recorder software records all motion in and out of the building resulting in complete accountability for all activities of the staff and visitors.
"We recently renovated our building to create a first class educational, clinical and office environment. With a doubling of the square footage, it was necessary to have security cameras throughout the building as a management tool and as a means to protect the company from unauthorized entries and frivolous claims. Volpe Industries supplied us with a complete surveillance system that is easy to use.
The investment pays for itself. I recommend its installation to any building owner."
