Retailer Paul Smith Goes IP

Video management software (VMS) with network cameras are being deployed across all of Paul Smith’s 45 stores as part of the UK-based retailer’s first company-wide IT refresh. Initially the new digital video system is being used for loss prevention but once it is fully in place worldwide by the end of 2015, Paul Smith plans to use it for business intelligence to assist retail operations management. Paul Smith has been an early adopter of IP and cloud-based services. In 2001 it migrated to IP telephony, installing a Cisco IPT network. Embracing the latest IT management approaches (including use of open-architected and Microsoft-based systems), the company has been able to maintain a relatively small network services team despite growth. Paul Smith has a retail presence in 35 countries. This approach means that when new IT challenges present themselves, Paul Smith’s Head of IT, Lee Bingham, pictured, looks for standards-based products that can be scaled up. He specifies that new systems and services must last a minimum of ten years because he simply does not have the manpower or budget to go on replacements of devices and software. Paul Smith’s legacy CCTV had grown organically as the group expanded. When the IT department was asked to take over running Paul Smith’s CCTV, Lee Bingham insisted that it must be moved to IP video and be visible on the corporate network: “If it’s not IP then it’s not IT, and therefore it made no sense to move it from our Facilities Management […]

Ridley College Secures Campus With Exacqvision

Ridley College is Ontario’s largest co-educational boarding school. Since 1889, Ridley College has prepared students for university. The school currently has an enrollment of more than 600 students from 35 countries.  The challenge put forward by the college was to find an open architecture system that would allow them to utilise their existing analogue cameras and integrate with their current Keyscan access system The exacqVision A-Series hybrid servers provided them with the solution and gave Ridley College the opportunity to grow and migrate their surveillance system. With the hybrid server, Ridley College utilised their existing infrastructure and analogue cameras while also integrating with their current access control system for an all-in-one video surveillance solution. The system comprises of 11 Exacqvision A-Series hybrid servers plus Exacqvision Enterprise VMS software with 116 analogue cameras from Bosch, and 26 Arecont Vision and Axis IP cameras, plus the Keyscan access control system.

We can view the entire campus from anywhere in our security vehicles, which is spectacular. Since we’ve installed the Exacqvision system we’ve been able to recoup minimally the loss of the damage we’ve incurred.” […]
