Hikvision modernises access, patrols and bus safety at Peru’s National Agrarian University

Peru runs a 102-hectare campus that serves eight faculties, about 8,000 students and roughly 600 teachers daily. Prior to this deployment, visitor and vehicle access depended on manual checks and handwritten records. The university wanted faster, safer entry control, better visibility of its bus fleet, and mobile tools to help patrol teams respond faster.

The university's objectives were narrow and operational: streamline pedestrian and vehicle access, equip patrol teams with mobile tools to speed incident response, improve safety and visibility for campus buses, and centralise management on one platform.

Hikvision and systems integrator Consorcio Valtar Security y Serinfortel delivered a package of hardware and software tailored to those goals.

• 18 Hikvision Pro Swing Barriers (DS-K3B530X) at main and side entrances. These act as the physical control points for foot traffic.
• 28 Face Recognition Terminals (DS-K5671-ZV) to speed entry for students and staff. The terminals are described as recognising users in under 0.2 seconds with accuracy above 99%.
• Anti-tailgating functions and LED indicators to prevent unauthorised entries and reduce bottlenecks.
• Visitor handling via a dual-screen Visitor Terminal (DS-K5032-D) and an Enrollment Station (DS-K1F600U-D6E-F) for paperless registration and simplified face enrollment.

• Six ANPR cameras (DS-TCG406-E(S)) and six Barrier Gates (DS-TMG520-H/B) at two vehicle entrances. The ANPR system recognises license plates in real time and manages access to reduce wait times.
• Staff vehicles can be pre-registered through the university's app, allowing faster entry during peaks.
• Adjustable barrier speeds, anti-hitting protections and LED screens (DS-TVL224-4-5Y) that display welcome messages and vehicle information for drivers.

Because the campus is large and patrols use motorcycles, the project included 10 Ultra Series Body Cameras (DS-MH2311) plus two dock stations (DS-MDS001). The body cameras provide 2 MP video with a 129-degree horizontal field of view and up to eight hours of recording. They use removable 3,300 mAh batteries, support wireless connectivity and GPS for real-time positioning, and docks centralise charging, storage and evidence upload.

All 11 campus buses were equipped with a suite of onboard systems:

• Mobile dome and mobile network cameras for inside/outside HD coverage (DS-2XM6726G1-IM/ND and DS-2XM6522G1-ID) to monitor boarding, alighting and road conditions.
• A DSM camera (AE-VC1B1I-ISF(RJ45)) to detect driver fatigue, distraction and smoking and to issue immediate alerts.

• An alarm button (DS-1530HMI(AE)(O-NEU)) to allow drivers to signal incidents.

All elements were integrated into a single Hikvision smart campus platform. That centralisation is intended to reduce friction between separate systems, speed incident handling, and create a single source for access logs, patrol footage and bus telemetry.

The deployment replaces paper-based visitor records and manual vehicle checks with automated recognition and registration. Patrol teams gain mobile evidence capture and position tracking, while drivers and fleet managers get real-time situational awareness that can trigger immediate alerts. The university's stated outcome is faster processing at entrances, clearer operational records and improved safety on its buses and across the campus footprint.
