JD Sports
Consultants and installers
Integrated Electronic Security (IES) have carried out a major security overhaul
at leading sportswear retailers, JD Sports. IES specified a digital networked
system based on Dedicated Micro's DS2 recorders at some of the group's 380
stores.
Alan Baker at IES said: "The CCTV system is designed to link in to the client's
garment tagging devices . If tagged goods are taken through the security
barrier, the in -store alarm is triggered and the digital images of the
incident are automatically transmitted to the remote security monitoring
control center.
Tim Edwards Security Director at JD Sports said: "Integrating CCTV monitoring
with our garment tagging system ensures immediate verification , so that we
don't compromise on speed of response" The system is also being used to
visually verify intruder and PA alarms as well as allowing us to remotely
monitor and track stock movement in the goods -in departments in our stores..
Metro Radio Arena
Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena has
recently completed a full overhaul of its security system with the help of CCTV
system consultants and installers Integrated Electronic Security ltd (IES) -
and has found an unusual benefit of going digital.
The 11,000 seat Arena, that has played host to stars such as Justin Timberlake,
Elton John and Cher, had suffered a spate of thefts, involving publicity
material being stolen from outside the premises, where traditional pan and tilt
cameras were clearly visible- and for the practiced thief avoidable.
Furthermore, picture quality from the old analogue system was poor, making it
difficult to identify troublemakers or review incidents in this high risk,
public environment that hosts a wide range of events.
Alan Baker, Director of IES explains: " A state-of-the-art digital networked
system was the best solution for this large site installation. "We specified
two DS2 from Dedicated Micros that were fully networked into the arena's
existing computer network, to enable instant access to images via PC's situated
at strategic points around the site as well as in the central security control
room.
"A mixture of Dennard 2060 domes and fixed cameras were installed, to allow
clear 360 degree viewing across the whole arena, entrance corridors and
externally".
Jim Duncanson, security executive for SMG Europe, owners and managers of the
arena, said : "Going digital has improved our security system beyond our
expectations.
"Being able to view incidents from the PCs around the arena, rather than simply
from the control room, means that any one of the security personnel can view
what's happening from wherever they are on site - and take instant remedial
action.
