Geovision secures major hardware chain in the Philippines

Manila, Philippine

Wilcon Builders, a household name in the Philippines' construction supply industry have chosen the Geovision System security platform to manage its 33 stores and offices around the country.
Wilcon Builder’s Supply was founded in 1977 in Quezon City, Manila and has since then expanded to several retail outlets within strategic locations around Metro Manila and various provinces. They supply and retail building and finishing materials around the country. The company stocks all the materials needed for building construction under one roof.

Wilcon Builders Depot has chosen the Geovision surveillance system to replace their existing analogue CCTV system at existing hardware stores and also at their newly constructed store locations. They chose Geovision for its wide offering that is able to meet their detailed requirements for different locations within the building. For example the buildings flexibly mix different types of cameras including fixed, varifocal WDR, and pan-tilt-zoom megapixel IP, as well as the existing analogue cameras to monitor stores, offices and parking lots. The wide selection of IP camera types flexibly fits different requirements of the buildings and offices that most others cannot match. A mixture of GV-1120 and GV-1240, video capture cards running on Geovision video surveillance platform, is used to provide a hybrid solution and to help the client migrate from the old analogue system to a better IP platform.

“One of the challenges Wilcon has to endure is to monitor all its branches situated all around the country. With large areas and plenty of activities to monitor, Wilcon needs the perfect system and facilities to ensure the security of every customer and Wilcon personnel. Since 2010, Geovision has helped and is continuously helping Wilcon in meeting the company's strict security measures through its reliable PC-based system. Indeed, the Geovision DVR provides flexible security solutions, making Wilcon a safe and convenient place to shop for people's homebuilding needs.”, stated Ramonchito Kung, the Executive Corporate Security Manager at Wilcon Builders.


To date around over two hundred GV cards and GV-IP cameras have already been installed at branches of Wilcon Builders. The numbers will increase as 2 more stores are in the pipeline this year and many more in the years to come. The solution has been offered by its local partner Digital CCTV.
