10 years ago we installed an IP megapixel camera system in the Willow Point location. Our proposed system provided the following advantages:
- Only 10 cameras were required vs the 16 cameras quoted by a competitor. Main reason: IP Cameras can cover larger areas as they have a higher resolution. (ex. 2 tills effectively covered with 1 camera. The analog solution would have required 1 camera per till and still wouldn’t have the same level of detail!)
- Lower installation cost. Less cameras to install, therefore less labour.
The management of Discovery Foods were pleased with the installation and in the following year another complete installation was approved for the Oyster River location.
Both stores have had minor additions and software/hardware upgrades provided over the years, however for the most part, both locations are still running many of the original cameras installed 10 years ago! Cameras have advanced significantly since then, however the 1.3MP cameras still provide a decent quality image by today’s standards. They have 1024 lines of resolution (close to HD 1080p).
