The challenge in Pick n Pay installation is limited budget and installation time. The installation was previously planned with conventional coax cabling but was found too costly and time consuming with the size of the warehouse. The installation was therefore redesigned with existing network infrastructure using IP devices, adding further central monitoring for even more effective and centralized management with allowed budgets.
The solution was done through local product distributor, with the design of GeoVision video surveillance system consists of GV-Compact DVRs (4 CH D1 Real Time standalone DVR), GV-NVR systems (manages up to 32 IP channels), and GV-Control Centers (powerful central monitoring station).
By implementing GV-Compact DVR, Pick n Pay gains all the benefits that digital technology offers. GV-Compact DVR digitizes the analogue signals and sends digital images directly over an IP network to the GV-NVR software to reduce cabling cost greatly. The most important of all, the Pick n Pay top management can easily monitor the entire warehouse without ever walking around, but still responsive to any abnormal incidents in timely matter.
