The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Irkutsk Region not only fulfils the tasks of combating crime and protecting public order but also protects the legitimate rights and interests of residents and guests of the Angara region. The Irkutsk police have a rich history of one hundred years. This is almost half of the existence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Today the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Irkutsk Region has 22 territorial divisionsand 29 divisions of the Main Directorate.
Project goals and issues
Until 2013 meetings at the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Irkutsk Region were carried out mainly through an audio selector. However as the general level of informatization of the Irkutsk police increased it became nessasary to systematically replace the audio selector with video conferencing format. At the same time it was important to keep the possibility of using the equipment available to the Main Directorate. The solution had to not only meet high requiurements for the quality of communication but also meet the allocated budget.
Project implementation and results
Among the many products presentsed the choise was made in favor of the domestis Vinteo video conferencing server with a copacity of 60 ports. During the implementation process comtibility was ensured with the Cisco TelePresence C40 video codecs already installed in the management, Polycom RealPresence Desktop collaboration application and even already outdated Tanberg video conferencing eqipment. Vinteo specialists also integrated the video conferencing server with a departmental telephone network built on the Avaya PBX, Alcatel PBX and a surveillance system based on Hikvision IP cameras.
The smooth transition from audio conferencing to video conferencing allowed management to acquire video terminals whenever possible. Thanks to the choice of Vinteo the Main Directoraate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Irkutsk Region was able to save more than 5 million rubles in comparison with the same functionality from foreighn manufacturers.
