Matthew Scott-Lyon, a well-known restaurateur and owner of the Big Bad\nWolf pizza bar, an upscale eatery in the newly renovated Cedar Square shopping\ncentre in Northern Johannesburg, wanted to provide a safe, aesthetically pleasing culinary delight for his\ncustomers in this latest establishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the alarming increase in mall and retail store robberies, he felt\nthat a proactive approach to security could only enhance his customers\u2019\nexperience. He contacted KHN Business Solutions and asked for a surveillance\nsystem that would provide good video coverage and clarity at all times, could\nrecord audio as well as video feed at the main bar in case of questionable\nbehaviour and could access from his mobile so he could view footage easily when\nhe was not at the restaurant for flexibility and peace of mind. In\naddition, he wanted the surveillance system to be unobtrusive and aesthetically\npleasing to match the upmarket d\u00e9cor of Big Bad Wolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AXIS solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yuro Carnino, owner of KHN Business Solutions and long-time AXIS partner\nwith over 10 years of experience, used his knowledge and expertise to select a\nblend of AXIS cameras that best suited the restaurateur\u2019s specific needs. In\nhis design, he used a strategically placed AXIS M1065-L camera with built in\nmicrophone and integrated audio, in the main bar service area backed up by an\nAXIS M3047-P (fisheye) camera in the main bar dining area for maximum wall to\nwall coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the low lighting of the kitchen, he used the AXIS M3105-L camera with\nbuilt in IR illumination to capture crisp clear images even in places entirely\ndevoid of light. He chose the AXIS M2026-LE camera with its high-resolution\nimages to monitor the main seating area of the restaurant, and subsequentially\nalso the visible portion of the external parking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A single camera can be used to cover a wide 130\u00b0 horizontal field of view, which to helps to keep costs low while still delivering quality results. WDR \u2013 Dynamic Capture was to ensure optimised footage of backlit scenes. A total of only six AXIS cameras were required for the installation, all carefully selected, strategically placed and integrated to provide a comprehensive customized solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
