A Continental consumer electronics retailer has had IP video fitted. Images from Mobotix Q24 360 degree cameras and other fixed and PTZ IP cameras installed at Media Markt stores are recorded and managed by Wavestore’s VMS which can de-warp the fisheye images captured by 360 degree cameras and at the same time display them alongside images from other IP cameras in a multi-image display. Operators can control a ‘virtual’ PTZ function to track activity while they are viewing the de-warped images and can for evidence purposes save one or a series of video clips from multiple cameras, tracking individuals who enter and walk around a store.
A programmable joystick controller from Wavestore also lets retail staff control the view of the de-warped images from the Mobotix Q24 and control other PTZ IP cameras.
Chris Williams, Director of Wavestore, was invited to attend the recent opening of a new flagship Media Markt store in Barcelona. He said: “We are naturally very pleased to have been entrusted to provide the video recording solution for one of Europe’s most successful retail brands. It is also great to be associated with a company that shares our philosophy of offering quality products supported by the best possible pre and post sales support.”
