Despite the alarm system deployed by SAPEC at its production sites, Mr. Papon was constantly at the receivingend of callouts to deal with alarms, which often turned out to be false. The geographical isolation of the production site meant he spent a great deal of traveling in all weather conditions and at all times of the day. To solve this problem and strengthen the security of the sites, SAPEC opted for a video surveillance system which limits the risks of industrial espionage, acts as a deterrent to limit internal shrinkage and permits real-time remote troubleshooting from a regular PC connected to the Internet. SAPEC wanted to monitor intrusions and benefit from a continuous recording function permitting images to be searched through rapidly during a questionable or suspicious event.

Future-proof technology and guarantee of quality

SAPEC decided to turn to the company Areste, an integrator based in Clermont-Ferrand, to implement a network video solution based on Axis Communications products. The AXIS 225FD Fixed Dome Network Camera was selected for its ability to function in challenging environments. The watertight anti-vandal case of this camera permits optimal functionality at an industrial site like SAPEC. A dozen of these cameras were deployed. In addition, six AXIS 221 Network Cameras were added in the most restrictive areas. This camera was also selected for its high performance, regardless of the lighting conditions, even during the night with infrared light. Finally, an AXIS 207 Network Camera was installed in the reception to monitor the lobby and the comings and goings of employees and visitors. The IP Record 2005 software developed by Arc’Création permits recordings to be made and searched through later to find a particular event in the recorded sequences.
