Comprehensive Security for High-End Jewelry Store
Challenge:
Retailers everywhere are looking for
ways to improve the profitability of their
retail outlet. Implementing quality
network surveillance solution has proven
to be a key component in this effort for
benefits that include:
Reduction in inventory shrinkage
Improved logistics planning (i.e. staff
allocation, store layout, in-store
advertising, etc.)
Increased staff and customer security
Decreased resources allocated
towards investigating suspect
incidents, liability claims, etc.
However, executing an effective
surveillance solution while maintaining
an ambiance of sophisticated shopping
can be challenging. Michael C. Fina, a
high-end jewelry store based in
Manhattan, was faced with this
challenge when selecting a new
surveillance solution to protect their
heavily trafficked store. In addition, store
management team required an effective
way to analyze store performance to
optimize operation logistics.
GeoVision surveillance solution deployed at Michael C. Fina jewelry store in New York City
Michael C. Fina storefront in Manhattan, New York
Located in a heavily trafficked neighborhood.
Solution:
To improve safety and security, a total of
75 GeoVision IP cameras have been
deployed at Michael C. Fina to cover the
entire store area, outside perimeter,
storage area, employee office area, CEO
office, and break room. The jewelry store
has opted for 5 megapixel models to
provide sharp and high-resolution videos
to reveal shrink related activities and
enhance positive identification.
5MP Fisheye IP Camera GV-FE5302 (painted black to camouflage with ceiling) provides the store with 360° indoor coverage.
5MP Mini Fixed Dome GV-MFD5301 stationed to secure each display section.
GeoVision Control Center setup in CEO office.
To secure valuable inventory, each display section is monitored by a GV-MFD5301 and
a total of 11 GV-FE5302 are installed throughout the store to provide 360° overall
overage. For aesthetics purposes, some of the fisheye cameras have been painted
black to camouflage with the ceiling color.
Data from the 75 cameras surveilling the store feeds back to 7 servers running
GeoVision’s video monitoring software, GV-VMS, which supports up to 64ch and
comes free with every GeoVision IP camera for up to 32ch. The wide range of useful
intelligent video analytics embedded in GV-VMS increases ease of monitoring and
reduces the need for manual supervision. The built-in Webcam Server allows store
personnel to remotely access live view and recordings from anywhere using Web
browsers, mobile app, and Remote ViewLog. GV-Control Center is also setup in the
CEO’s office to provide full access and control of the servers.
Solution (continued):
Michael C. Fina also utilizes the People Counting feature, which is part of the
embedded video analytics suit found in GeoVision monitoring software. Through the
use of strategically placed cameras, People Counting provides store managers an
automated method to record and measure customer activity to easily analyze store
performance and optimize store layout and staff allocation.
To increase customer awareness of the security system in place and thereby
discourage criminal activities, monitors displaying surveillance videos are positioned
throughout the store. To achieve this, the jewelry store opted for the GV-IP Decoder
Box and GV-Pad to cost-effectively decode and display video streams.
