The priority in security for Burger King is to have a centralized platform that supports real-time viewing and high-definition retrieving in order to centrally manage the surveillance systems in different restaurants, so that the security staff in surveillance center can easily get to know the security status in real time.

In addition, there are no personnel staying in the restaurant at night, so that ensuring absolute security of the restaurant at the night time is one of the major concerns.

Burger King decided to use the DS-8000HCI Series DVR from Hikvision to secure the restaurant.

DS-8000HCI Series DVR, Hikvision's new generation digital surveillance product, has maximum 16-channel video and audio input, while 12-channel, 8-channel and 4-channel inputs being the options. Using the most advanced H.264 ACE (Advanced Code Efficiency) video compression algorithm, the product offers high-definition video quality with the resolution up to 4CIF. One of the highlights is its stable and reliable operation particularly over a long period of time, which dramatically reduces the maintenance cost.

Furthermore, the products are able to completely guarantee the security of restaurants 24/7. As soon as an unusual event (e.g. unauthorized access of customer and stock missing in the store/warehouse, etc.) occurs in the restaurant at night when there is no personnel available in the restaurant, the alerts would be triggered and delivered to surveillance center immediately, so that the staffs in the center can make sure whether it is a real threat by getting access to the video, and choose to ask police for help. While at week days, alerts can be sent out for security personnel in the restaurant to take necessary actions when there is an emergency.
