South African Businesses Now Protected by AXIS Cameras

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

South African businesses are not strangers to the effects of violent crime. Silverton Business Watch was created to counteract the devastation and worry that high crime rates had caused in the central business district. As a non-profit, community initiative, Silverton Business Watch decided to expand their capabilities with the use of high-tech surveillance and networking solutions to better assist them in their plight.

The watch community quickly contacted Ecotech Converge, a security consultancy specializing in IT convergence and advanced networking, hosting, and infrastructure solutions. Ecotech Converge suggested they immediately install a series of Axis IP – based network cameras.

The superior and high quality network cameras designed by Axis proved to be the solution the community needed. In just 3 months, crime had reduced by more than 30% and surrounding residential and business districts are considering following the Silverton model to create a safer environment for everyone.

Netherland Grocery Store Implements AXIS Network Camera Solution

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Established in 1989, Albert Heijn is the longest running grocery store chain in the Netherlands. When the original location outgrew its tiny storefront the decision was made to relocate to a building that provided 2400m2 of space. With more area to cover, upper management decided that it was time to implement an IP camera system to ease the manageability of day to day functions as well as to facilitate a more refined method of controlling internal processes. Seeing the need for a budget friendly solution that was both scalable and kept pace with market demand, the Albert Heijn contacted Axis Communications partners, Bovli Solutions and Videotronic Infosystems. Both organizations worked directly with the supermarket to implement a solution that was able to facilitate internal and external smart camera surveillance as well as provide the management the ability to monitor daily processes.

In total, the solution required 21 Axis network cameras that were allocated between the parking lot, the grocery floor, each entrance and management offices.

Taking advantage of the intelligent surveillance and monitoring capabilities of Axis network cameras enabled the Albert Heijn management team to better monitor in store processes and customer satisfaction rates soared as a result.

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Hong Kong-based jeweler, Christelle Limited has been leading the charge in the production and exportation of fine jewelry for more than thirty years. Over the years, Christelle has developed a reputation as being leaders in innovation, having distinctive design properties and using only the best materials. On an annual basis the company attends an excess of thirty trade shows and therefore have developed a strong understanding for the importance of security, surveillance, and staff safety.

In an effort to augment their existing security protocols, Christelle made the decision to implement a digital surveillance system designed by Axis Communications. The new IP camera video surveillance system provided a user friendly platform that employees could setup and manage with ease. Most importantly, the system maintained the proficiency needed for round – the – clock monitoring in both real-time and record imaging formats.

Since having taken advantage of Axis technology, Christelle Limited is now able to effectively decrease their spending while increasing their ongoing ability to prevent theft and other security intrusions. The network surveillance cameras provide exceptionally clear images enabling security personnel to distinguish fine jewelry items in detail as well as spot suspicious behavior as it occurs. The system was designed to utilize low – bandwidth compression for fast IP transmission, this allows images to rapidly be accessed and assessed from remote devices to quickly confirm the event of false alarms.

Vivotek Cameras Help Protect Supermarket in Thailand

Friday, April 1st, 2011

Thailand’s premier supermarket chain SuperCheap may direct their product focus on providing value-priced food items and household goods, however they were unwilling to be SuperCheap when it came to their security monitoring abilities.

Despite their low prices, the supermarket chain was a regular victim to routine shoplifters even though their stores made use of Closed Circuit Television Surveillance systems. While the system may have once served its purpose, the wide spread knowledge that CCTV systems do not provide a clear enough image for police and security personnel to make a positive identification have resulted in the surveillance system no longer being a deterrent to criminals and trespassers.

In hopes of rectifying the growing shoplifting concern, SuperCheap contacted local surveillance system provider TSolutions who then evaluated the supermarket’s locations and security needs. It was the recommendation of TSolution that the chain implement a solution comprised of VIVOTEK IP cameras.

After having learned the many benefits of harnessing that capabilities associated with VIVOTEK cameras, the chains management team agreed to implement the new system into one of their stores to serve as a test facility. After a successful test run, the chain then decided to expand the system into three additional locations.

38 VIVOTEK cameras were implemented during the testing phase, including seven IP8332 cameras. These cameras helped to rectify the previous complaints associated with exterior and entryway monitoring with CTV cameras. Inside the stores, 23 FD8134 cameras provided exceptional monitoring, enabling 1280 x 800 video at 30 frames per second. Lastly, 8 IP7160 cameras were strategically placed inside the stores to provide a wide angle view of the floor area. Each camera utilized a fisheye lens and provided 2-megapixel resolution.
