XL showroom for video and fiber to the office technology - VALEO IT Neteye also relies on MICROSENS as a long-standing partner in its own building

The success story of VALEO IT Neteye actually began back in 2004 with the founding of VALEO IT GmbH, an IT service provider with a broad portfolio, including video surveillance. After a few years, it became apparent that the demand for IP video surveillance solutions was increasing and the division was spun off. Norbert von Breidbach-Bürresheim, Managing Partner of VALEO IT Neteye GmbH, recalls: “By setting up our own company, we showed customers the seriousness and relevance we attached to IP video technology.” With MOBOTIX for the camera technology and MICROSENS for the network technology, the two central partners of the new GmbH were already in place at this point. The success proved VALEO IT Neteye right: today, the company serves customers throughout the DACH region, in South Tyrol and in the neighboring Czech Republic.

VALEO IT Neteye receives inquiries from both companies and public authorities. As a rule, the system integrator develops and implements individual solutions, from the comprehensive surveillance of an entire factory site, such as at Maschinenfabrik Niehoff with more than 90,000 square meters on a large scale, to the video surveillance of a private building on a small scale. However, the video cameras are often required in places where there is no power supply. In this case, the system integrator uses Power over Ethernet to supply the hardware with power via the data line. The company obtains these PoE switches or separate PoE injectors from MICROSENS. Norbert von Breidbach-Bürresheim explains: “The reliable functioning of our video solutions depends largely on the underlying network technology. In MICROSENS, we have a partner that manufactures robust and flexible components and, as a German manufacturer, also offers us outstanding service.”

IP cameras can be used for more than just classic video surveillance. Very often, processes are also analyzed and documented or additional information is transmitted from remote locations. Together with partners, VALEO IT Neteye has developed its own complete solution for capturing vehicle license plates for access control. The CAR-READER in conjunction with the Gateberry software also monitors the company parking lot at VALEO IT Neteye. A barrier secures the access road and is equipped with a MOBOTIX IP camera, which is supplied with power via a MICROSENS Entry Line PoE injector. The camera reads and recognizes the vehicle license plates, the software compares the read data and controls the barrier automatically. This solution is used for access control and documentation for public or company parking lots.

A very prominent example of this solution is known to Sylt travelers who use the DB Sylt Shuttle. They enter the vehicle's license plate number directly online when booking. When entering the terminal area, the CAR-READER records the license plate number, checks it, opens the barrier and automatically validates the ticket. Norbert von Breidbach-Bürresheim is well aware that the solution has to work reliably when the train is busy with around 2,500 vehicles on peak days: “Trusting cooperation with our partners is very important to us. We know that we are installing robust IP components, which is the core requirement for the success of such a project.”
