AxizWorkgroup Installs AXIS Network Cameras

Monday, July 25th, 2011

For years, South African distributor of Information Technology Infrastructure, AxizWorkgroup, has been outshining the competition by offering a high quality and robust product lineup. It is the main function of AxizWorkgroup to supply high caliber infrastructure, laptops, monitors, softwares and servers. Despite their technologically proficient inventory, they were still being protected by an archaic and low quality CCTV security system.

Hoping to implement a robust system capable of meeting the high expectations they had set with their own products, Axiz promptly contacted The Surveillance Factory (Axis Solution Gold Partner, and Axis Top Sales Partner 2010). It was under their recommendation that the obsolete security system be replaced with an all new IP based system comprised of Axis IP camera products.

After accepting the proposal to redo the outdated system, several HDTV and PTZ network cameras were installed throughout the facility. The placement of each IP camera offered a comprehensive view of the most important areas around the location, such as: the external and internal perimeters, the customer service areas, and the entire warehouse vicinity. The modern and comprehensive security solution gave personnel, consumers, and suppliers the peace of mind they needed to be reassured that they were dealing with a renowned organization.

South African Sasolburg Plant Installs AXIS Thermal Cameras

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

As part of the largest international integrated energy and chemical company on the globe, the day-to-day operations of Sasol Limited are extremely complex. Of their many strategies and business initiatives, the Sasolburg and Secunda plants hold the distinct responsibility of being the only producers of ammonia in South Africa. The Sasolburg plant experienced the need to alter their existing methods of heat intensity monitoring since the flames produced during production were virtually invisible to the human eye.

The decision was made to contact TVMS, security technology specialist, who were then given the task of testing several thermal IP cameras and determining which camera was the most likely to satisfy the intense security requirements of the firm. After the initial testing phase was completed, a series of Axis Q1910 Thermal Network Cameras were installed. As part of the well respected Axis family of cameras, the Q1910 was both cost efficient and highly functional in the chemical manufacturing environment.

The engineers and security personnel in at Sasol are far better equipped to tend to their responsibilities than ever before. Furthermore, the facility is now fully capable of tending to fluctuations in temperature as early on as possible, in order to protect the integrity of their products.
