BAPS Mandirs Deliver Wireless Connectivity for Their Video Surveillance Network

BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha® (BAPS) is a worldwide spiritual and humanitarian organization dedicated to community service, peace, and harmony. Motivated by Hindu principles, BAPS strives to care for the world by caring for societies, families, and individuals. Through various spiritual and humanitarian activities, BAPS endeavors to develop better citizens of tomorrow with high esteem for their roots and culture. Its 3,300 international centers which support these character building initiatives, each receive thousands of visitors per week. Under the guidance and leadership of His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj, BAPS aspires to build a community that is free of addictions as well as morally, ethically, and spiritually pure.

Members of BAPS come to the Mandirs (a Mandir is a Hindu Place of Worship) to pray and attend daily character-building rituals
and attend weekly activities. Visitors come to view the beautiful architecture and learn about Hinduism while enjoying the onsite Vegetarian Cafes and Snack Shops. With so many visitors on a daily basis, a state of the art video surveillance system was essential
to ensure the safety of the visitors, the Mandirs and surrounding parking areas. In addition, this system provides its members with a safer facility to conduct their daily activities as well as to protect the buildings and property.
