The Clothing Chain recently chose the Digieye Compact Hybrid and IP multifunctional video management systems from Syac-TB for the company’s newly upgraded surveillance solution, which they wanted to optimize their new video security investments but also, at the same time, preserve some of their past investments by maintaining some of the legacy materials.

The Clothing Chain already operated 24 stores throughout Italy and France, and had forecasted to open 27 new locations by December 2015. The 24 existing stores had been protected since 2009 by analog cameras and level-entry stand-alone four input DVRs.

The Clothing Chain wanted a new video security partner able to provide both video security experience and new perspectives through innovative solutions.

The Clothing Chain Sourcing Department carried out extensive research for the project and contacted Syac-TB who proposed a retail vertical solution based upon its Digieye Compact, which is particularly suitable for installations requiring privacy compliance, centralization, integration, and intelligent features —such as video content analysis and digital signage— that offer services beyond the traditional pure video security solution.

All the existing and new locations were/will be equipped with a Digieye Compact 8 input model, integrating digital signage, video content analysis and centralization, and with ONVIF Profile S compliant Digieye IP megapixel dome cameras that are fully configurable from the Digieye systems.

The difference between the existing and new stores is that the existing ones were equipped with the Digieye Compact hybrid DVRs able to support the already installed analogue cameras as well as new IP megapixel cameras, whilst the 27 new locations were/will be equipped with the Digieye Compact IP NVRs.
