It’s summer and the sun is shining in the blue sky. Divine. What could be better than a trip to the pool? The residents of Singen, Germany have an open air pool, the Aachbad. The pool operators sought to deter bicycle theft. In good weather, many visitors come by bicycle and park in front of the pool premises. Yet bicycles were disappearing even when they were properly locked. As these incidents started to pile up, the leaders of the city of Singen decided to secure the bicycle parking area with video technology from Geutebruck. As a result, the video recordings can be used to determine who stole which bicycle, and when.
Tamper-proof video images are also admissible evidence in court. Why the administration of the city of Singen chose Geutebruck technology was easy for Michael Benz from building management to answer: “We use Geutebruck video security in another public building – the Art Museum in Singen – and are very happy with the easy-to-use technology, the quality of the products and the service.”
But increasing bicycle theft was not the only reason to renew the security. In the event of an accident or vandalism, the staff wanted to be able to quickly understand what happened. All images of the new IP security solution are collected centrally on one recording device, which is powered by software. Rapid availability of high-resolution images is thus ensured with the highest possible level of reliability. All images are stored on a server and can be accessed and used at anytime.
