A large warehouse distribution center installed a 64-camera video surveillance system from Dahua Technology.
This website is the main warehouse of Pets Corner in the UK. Pets Corner is a national chain store with more than 150 stores dealing in pets, pet food and pet accessories. Last year, a purpose-built 43,000-square-foot warehouse in West Sussex opened to supply all UK stores and companies’ online operations.
The site is equipped with solar panels for lighting, heating and charging points, and a zero-waste landfill policy is implemented. However, the goal of monitoring systems is not just for security purposes-as people become more aware of devices that can solve other business operational challenges. The system will be used to monitor the health and safety of workers, reduce inventory damage and shrinkage, and protect trucks parked in the yard overnight.
The cameras installed by Urban Security Systems & Fire consist of Dahua Starlight Dome and AI Bullet Camera. All products have a resolution of at least 5MP and AI analysis functions, and support functions such as face recognition, ANPR, content analysis, event detection, people counting, and heat maps.
According to the supplier, the camera has high image quality, bandwidth efficiency using H.265 compression and edge analysis, and excellent low-light performance. The distributor of the equipment, Oprema, matched the camera's colors to integrate with the interior of the building.
Cameras are installed inside and outside, at the top and bottom of each channel, and all delivery entry and exit points. The system is monitored during non-working hours by Southern Monitoring.
Power is transmitted through Ethernet cables, thus reducing and simplifying wiring requirements. The use of ePoE cameras enables integrators to lay cables within a distance of 95m, in one case up to 160m. The other Dahua equipment installed is a 64TB NVR, three managed ePoE Ethernet switches, and a 24-port Gigabit L2 managed Ethernet switch.
“During the entire project, Dahua has provided us with an excellent level of support, and we are also impressed by the quality of equipment manufacturing,” said Andy Lloyd, director of urban safety systems. "PoE-type cameras greatly help the design and installation of cable infrastructure, and reduce costs. Because of the length of the cable line, no additional PoE switches are needed."
Graham Denny, Director of Logistics at Pets Corner, said: “When building our new national distribution center, we wanted a system that not only provides us with maximum safety, but also helps maintain operational and health and safety standards. The results of Urban Security Systems are excellent, providing us with excellent video images that can be easily used on my laptop, desktop and mobile phone. Therefore, I highly recommend Dahua CCTV system for anyone with similar requirements. , And of course the excellent installation of Urban, most of which were carried out safely and professionally while we were operating."
