The IP network video surveillance system, installation by system integrators SHINE, consisted of a combination of Axis Communications and Mobotix IP cameras which included the Axis 207MW megapixel IP cameras along with the Mobotix Q24P dome IP cameras.

NUUO Press Release Excerpt:

More than security; a smart surveillance system minimizes cost and risk
NUUO enables 128 CH streams of remote live view at one time, offering clear and stable video quality, and it helped the central government to monitor all situations in the election office. The voting sites were connected by a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to the Interior Ministry. During the election, the officers observed feeds from all the sites, and were able to monitor all facets of the election as well as react when an adverse event occurred. In addition, in the case of any irregularities, the event would be recorded, allowing the government to deal confidently with any dispute or controversy.
