CCTV product firm Vicon report that there is still significant interest in CCTV from shopping centres and retailers despite pressure on capital expenditure brought about by the current tough economic climate.
Vicon was an exhibitor at the BCSC’s Shopping Centre Management Conference, on March 3 and 4, at ACC Liverpool.
According to Richard Allen-Miles, Vicon’s Sales Director for UK and Ireland, visitors to the Vicon stand were interested in the benefits that an integrated networked IP CCTV solution can deliver.
"Shopping centre managers want to ensure customers can enjoy their shopping experience and part of that process is to create a safe a secure environment," said Richard. "In these challenging financial times it is also absolutely vital that centres’ investment in CCTV generates real tangible results. We were able to demonstrate that the very latest video management technology offers improved control room efficiency, enhanced security, and makes life extremely easy for security personnel to observe and react to any criminal activity or health and safety incidents."
With the release of ViconNet version5, shopping centre and retailer customers can access ‘open platform’ video management software. ViconNet 5’s video analytics lets control room operators identify suspicious activity and retrieve pre-recorded video evidence.
