The entrance hall of an apartment building is a shared responsibility zone, where issues of order and safety concern every resident. Faced with property damage, noise, or actions of unscrupulous neighbors, people are increasingly looking not just for temporary measures, but for a reliable way to establish and maintain order. Such a solution is a video surveillance system that operates 24/7 and objectively records events.

Sometimes video surveillance helps avoid truly dangerous situations. For example, in Magnitogorsk, cameras in the entrance hall helped prevent a threat to the building«s integrity. A resident noticed a gross violation: neighbors in the building began breaking a load-bearing wall.

— We started monitoring the cameras during the day and determined that residents of one of the apartments were removing pieces of the load-bearing wall. With the video recording, we turned to the relevant services, who helped us restore the wall and sort out the situation, — said Ksenia Bazarova, a client of the Intersvyaz company.

Thanks to the recording from the cameras, which are always at hand, it was possible to take measures in time and prevent an emergency situation. All data is available in the Intersvyaz mobile app (6+).

Approximately 800 surveillance cameras cover buildings, entrances, and elevators in two microdistricts.

Residents of apartment buildings often face property damage: broken mailboxes, drawings in elevators, damaged cars. Such a house cannot be called a fortress. Returning after work or from school, the family feels not safety and calm, but rather anxiety and stress.

The video surveillance system helps record any violations. Cameras operate 24/7 and can capture the moment of property damage. For example, the Chelyabinsk managing company «Gorizonty» has been collaborating with «Intersvyaz» since 2018.

— Approximately 800 surveillance cameras have been installed in two microdistricts: on buildings, in entrance halls, and elevators. Violations are recorded in the footage. This service is very popular among residents, and in the near future we will increase the number of cameras so that the entire territory is under full control, — says Valery Tsyganash, director of the managing company «Gorizonty».

The mere presence of cameras disciplines people and reduces the number of offenses. If an incident does occur, the recording significantly simplifies the work of law enforcement agencies.

Accessibility and System Management

The entrance hall is a place where all residents intersect. Cameras help create a safer environment there. The video surveillance system can be managed through the mobile app «Intersvyaz. Smart City». This allows viewing what is happening in the entrance hall from any point at any time. Recordings are archived in cloud storage and are not lost.

— The system«s operation is ensured by our internal network, where all materials remain in cloud storage. Therefore, if there is temporarily no internet on the mobile phone, it will be possible to access the archive when it appears, — emphasizes Ekaterina Voronova, head of projects in the technology implementation department of »Smart City« at Intersvyaz.

The company offers turnkey equipment installation. Specialists themselves will conduct installation and setup. To find out details, you can contact online or by phone (351) 777-77-77. Consultants will help select a suitable option for your home.
