National Surveillance and Broadband Surveillance Create New Concept of Natural Disaster Risk

The "Global Eye" network video surveillance service is a new value-added service for remote monitoring, transmission, storage and management of images based on broadband networks and 3G mobile networks launched by China Telecom. Compared with traditional video surveillance services, the “Global Eye” is characterized by digitization, networking, and intelligence. It expands the application of video surveillance from simple security protection to all walks of life, especially the three defenses of the Ministry of Water Resources (drought prevention It played an important role in preventing floods and preventing typhoons and created a new concept for video surveillance applications.

Global Eyes Prevent Typhoon "Telescope Eye"

In recent years, with the launch of China Telecom’s global eye and other video surveillance products, governments at all levels have used the global eye to prevent and fight natural disasters, and their unique effects and effects have emerged.

Fujian is a province where typhoon disasters occur frequently. Every year, the prevention of typhoons and other natural disasters is arduous. The “Global Eye” has provided powerful comprehensive information support for the rescue and disaster relief of various levels of governments and flood prevention departments in Fujian Province with its new functions, and has played an important role in enhancing Fujian’s ability to combat natural disasters.

Information from relevant departments shows that the “Global Eye” monitoring probes throughout the island’s embankments, river bridges, and traffic arteries in Fujian Province have faithfully recorded the scenes of various typhoons and become the “wining eyes” for relevant departments to grasp information on all aspects of typhoons. ","Omniscient".

Whenever a typhoon struck, the “Global Eye” monitoring probe distributed on the coastline of 3,300 kilometers in Fujian Province became the vanguard of dangerous observation and rescue. It provides more scientific research and judgment basis for the deployment and countermeasures against typhoon work and improves the ability to defend against typhoon command.

In Zhejiang, when typhoon Weipa was rampant, China Telecom’s “Global Eyes” throughout Zhejiang province tracked the latest trends in typhoons without letting in any details of the major storms and reducing the losses to the lowest point. In the fight against Typhoon "Bilis", Zhejiang Telecom and Zhejiang Satellite TV cooperated to use the "Global Eye" of China Telecom to successfully broadcast the first-line disaster situation, so that governments at all levels and the people can understand the disaster situation in time and provide disaster relief work. Reliable protection.

Global Eyes Make Flood Control More Effective Over the past, the monitoring of water conditions in various places depends on manual observation of the water level gauge, which is neither convenient nor safe. The use of the “Global Eye” monitoring system allows the flood prevention department not to send people to the site for manual observation, and can monitor changes in water conditions at any time through the network monitoring point. After installing the “Global Eye”, the staff of the Flood Control Office can clearly display on the computer screen as long as the mouse is clicked and the reservoir dam and the spillway are located tens of kilometers away.

The "Global Eyes" real-time monitoring has done a good job of uploading and submitting public opinions in a timely manner, which has provided great help for leaders in making decisions quickly. In typhoon and stormy weather, in addition to the real-time viewing of live images at the monitoring center of the Flood Control Office, government leaders and key commanders can also remotely view the real-time conditions of the reservoir's floodgates remotely and remotely command and control the remote access through the network. “Global Eyes” and other video surveillance products not only enable the governments at all levels and flood prevention departments to obtain accurate and timely forecasts, but also play a unique role in commanding and dispatching, transmitting public opinions, and providing disaster relief information. This has played a good role in effectively reducing disaster-relief costs and improving disaster-resistance efficiency. Effect.

It is reported that before the flood season in 2008, all the reservoirs and sluice gates in Xiamen have been equipped with “Global Eyes” probes for all-weather real-time monitoring. Through monitoring, at the time of the rainstorm, the Flood Control Office dispatch center can keep abreast of the latest conditions of the reservoir, such as reservoir water level information, water level rise speed, whether it is necessary to discharge flood water, and the expected duration of flood discharge. In the dry season, there will be a panoramic view of the conditions of reservoir storage, the condition of vegetation on the shore, and whether anyone illegally takes water.

The global eye provides rescue support for earthquake resistance. It is believed that many people still remember the damage to the communication facilities after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. In fact, after the Wenchuan earthquake, the construction of the emergency communication system caused unprecedented attention by operators. The "Global Eye" serves as an aid to the emergency liaison and command of earthquake relief, and plays an important role in the notification of dangerous situations, command and rescue, and emergency assistance.

In the Sichuan earthquake, Pengzhou, Chengdu suffered a rare prehistoric disaster. China Telecom Chengdu Branch soon installed the “Global Eye” to the Longmen Shanchang Town in Pengzhou County, Sichuan’s hardest-hit area, shortly after the earthquake. This is the first time China Telecom has used the “Global Eye” for earthquake rescue and passed the “Global Eye”. The real-time network video image monitoring provides a lot of first-hand on-site information for emergency commanders.

On April 14 last year, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Yushu, Qinghai, and the number of affected people surged day after day. Yushu Telecom employees relied on the “Global Eye” monitoring system located on the streets of Jiegu Town Center in the shortest possible time. China Telecom’s “Global Eye” monitoring image enabled the Qinghai Provincial Government’s emergency office to see the earthquake images in real time, which provided effective protection for the provincial government and related departments to direct disaster rescue operations.

In the new era of triple-network convergence, the “Global Eye” will continue to make use of new technologies in the industry and work together to create a new era of video surveillance applications.
