Outdoor shopping plaza unifies security and marketing data into a comprehensive video and data capture system

A shopping center previously relied on an antiquated CCTV system, which consisted of approximately 45 analog cameras managed by a single DVR. This set-up did not allow the organiza- tion to share video and security data efficiently, or tap into the benefits of networked solutions. It also did not provide officials with high-quality video that could be used reliably for forensic purposes. After a testing process in which the shopping center tested a bevy of video management solutions, it selected Arteco NEXT, Arteco?s video event management software, as the back- bone of its new video surveillance initiative. Additionally, stakeholders decided to maximize their existing investment, transitioning analog cam- eras with encoders, and installing new high-resolution IP camera in high-risk areas.
