AHLBERG | ADVERTORIAL FEATURE
Above: An operator in front of the flexible video management system (VMS) that can be adapted to many different site requirements.
Flexibility meets protection To support dynamic monitoring needs, the project also integrated several mobile camera kits built around the CCTV78 camera. The CCTV78 is a compact, radiation- tolerant High Definition (HD) camera for environments with moderate/high radiation exposure offering extended zoom, excellent low-light performance, and durable stainless-steel IP65 housing for reliable long-term operation. This camera uses a similar housing concept as the
fixed CCTV71 unit but incorporates enhanced radiation shielding to provide increased protection in high- radiation environments. Featuring compact rad-tolerant LED lighting, microphones, and pan-tilt heads, this unit is mounted on a tripod and connected via cables with reels. Each unit includes a mobile camera control unit (CCU) for seamless integration with the main system via signal wire to Ethernet converters and is designed to interface directly with the plant’s existing wall-mount camera socket infrastructure.
Intelligent design, maximum usability The technological brain of the installation is the main CCTV cabinet in each unit’s central equipment room. The cabinet houses the VMS server, operator workstation and LCD KVM console for on-site diagnostics and troubleshooting. The workstations in the main CCTV cabinet are connected via KVM extenders to each operator’s desk. Each operator station is outfitted with dual screens, joystick-equipped CCTV controllers, and customizable intuitive interface access. A standout feature of the VMS system is the map-
based interface allowing operators to visually navigate facility layouts, click into specific zones, and bring up live feeds or recordings from corresponding cameras. For comprehensive coverage, two large-screen monitors

were added in the central control room to provide operators with full video wall capabilities. Redundancy is a key design priority as well. Selected
operator workstations are configured with high-spec hardware to run video management hot-standby services. In the event of VMS server failure, the standby server takes over recording and device management within seconds, maintaining uninterrupted surveillance. The VMS is also equipped with scalable storage, allowing adjustable retention thresholds and automatic footage lifecycle management.
A Sustainable Surveillance Future This nuclear power plant stands to gain a future-ready surveillance architecture tailored for the industry’s most demanding conditions. Through a combination of ruggedized imaging platforms, intuitive system control, and site-specific adaptability Ahlberg Cameras has tailored a comprehensive and dependable approach to nuclear CCTV modernization. This has been accomplished while supporting operational safety, long-term resilience, and regulatory compliance. ■
