About the security system a Banana Republic new store:
Installer ID Technology Group has fitted a fully integrated CCTV system at the new flagship store of Banana Republic, GAP’s trading chain on Regent Street, London.
The store offers men and women’s fashion. Banana Republic sought CCTV to ensure that staff felt secure and the alarm and EAS system were within the system.
ID installs and maintains all CCTV to the GAP estate across the UK and Ireland.
A 29 camera CCTV system, incorporating 12 Pan Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) 360 Vision Speed dome 22:1 colour cameras that gives 100 per cent coverage to the 18,050 sq ft retail floor was installed. Two 1.6 terabyte Cathexis DVRs were installed.
Integrated with the EAS system and alarm system, suspect buttons were installed under the counters, whereby staff can notify security and managers of potential anti-social instances and the cameras records to a high resolution pre-set location, recording many angles of the incident to ensure maximum coverage.
What they say
Matt Allen, sales director at ID Technology Group said: “This is one of the most anticipated store openings of 2008 to the UK retail sector. Banana Republic needed a CCTV and security system that not only protected the products, but fitted in perfectly with the high specification of the store. The last thing Banana Republic would want trouble with come opening day is the CCTV system as there was a massive customer footfall expected. ID has demonstrated to Banana Republic an excellent partnership approach, and we look forward to this continuing with this.”
