Bunning’s Warehouse is one of the leading home DIY (Do It Yourself) store and building material suppliers in Australia and New Zealand. It was established in 1886 and has grown to include approximately 280 stores between the two countries. ACTi IP cameras were chosen to secure one store initially with 20 IP cameras being installed. ACTi’s system integration partner, New Zealand based Income Security, was responsible for the IP camera implementation which includes ACTi megapixel IP cameras. The megapixel video resolution capabilities of the ACTi cameras have meet the video quality requirements set forth by Bunning’s Warehouse. With this initial installation seeing much success, there will be more Bunning’s Warehouse locations secured by ACTi IP cameras.

ACTI Press Release Excerpt:
With ACTi’s camera, the excellent video quality and high resolution meet the requirement of Bunning’s Warehouse. Especially the megapixel resolution provides very detail and clearer image than the previous DVR system. It’s safer for the customer and the store owner and can provide evidence when there’s an argument or accident.

Park Central, a 550,440 square-foot office building located in the heart of Denver’s business district and owned by Means-Knaus real estate investment firm, has chosen an analog-IP hybrid video surveillance system for providing protection for the bank, ATMs, restaurants and all other occupants of the building. Through a cooperative partnership between ACTi, NUUO and vForge, a hybrid video surveillance system has been created. The application features a combination of analog cameras, ACTi megapixel IP cameras, and includes vForge’s implementation of the NUUO Hybrid NDVR server. The entire surveillance system is being managed by Universal Protection Services (UPS), listed as one of the top ten security companies in the United States. UPS security guard staff have expressed their support of this new system stating the that the system is easy to use and allows for advanced control of the surveillance system without having to leave the monitoring station.

NUUO Press Release Excerpt:

ACTi calculates, a 3 Megapixel camera can view 3.5 times more of an area than a standard analog camera (640×480). Megapixel cameras have become the future trend in surveillance, and NUUO/vForge fulfills the need to expand the system from analog to megapixel IP cameras and to use resources more efficiently

UPS uses smart detection to more effectively manage the system. Record settings are based on the sensitivity of each camera; set to continuous, motion based, and event based, each camera are chosen to maximize efficiency and guard responsiveness. vForge servers fully implement NUUO smart detection tools; by NUUO 6 events detections with 10+ instant alarms, managers can not only save bandwidth and storage costs by reducing unnecessary recording but also make surveillance more precise. A UPS security guard said–”NUUO gives me control without leaving”.
