In order to provide patrons and employees with the highest level of security and comfort, they decided to upgrade their out-dated CCTV system. This new surveillance system not only had to integrate smoothly with the existing analogue infrastructure, but also had to leave open the option of installing IP cameras in the future. In other words, it had to be versatile and scalable.

Furthermore, the system needed to have a simple and user-friendly user interface to avoid costly, time-consuming training. And, with 15 stores across the country, a central management capability was crucial, as the network manager would need to supervise every store from the company’s headquarters.

After thorough analysis, surveillance specialists recommended the Aver EH1116H-4+ 16 channel hybrid DVR. Designed for small to medium-sized security projects, the EH1116H-4+ supports advanced alarm notifications and POS integration making it perfect for retail applications. Its hybrid nature allows for seamless integration of IP cameras with existing analogue infrastructure, while ensuring cost control and scalability. The bundled Aver CM3000 central management software (CMS) allows HQ staff to remotely preview and/or record camera channels and backup scheduling or alarm management. In addition, Aver’s Iviewer and Androidviewer mobile access applications for smartphones and tablets can be used to supervise stores and manage operations anywhere, anytime.

Management at the chain are highly satisfied with the performance of their new Aver DVRs and have praised the easy-to-use user interface which has saved hours of personnel training. They happily report 100% complication-free integration with the existing analogue infrastructures and are looking with a keen eye at IP cameras to fully experience the EH1116H-4+’s hybrid capabilities. Moreover, around the clock remote access of every individual store’s EH1116H-4+ DVR from the company’s headquarters lets HQ security personnel easily supervise daily operations and manage security issues at any store in real-time.
