Why upgrade to a smart IoT security system?

A missed opportunity – life before smart security

Julia is the manager of a small local supermarket on a housing estate. The store has a legacy surveillance system, set up to monitor activity on the shop floor and in the storeroom.

Julia arrives at work on Monday to discover there’s been a break in during the night. The thieves managed to bypass the alarm and stole a large quantity of valuable meat from the fridges.

Slow, painstaking, unreliable and possibly illegal

After calling the police, Julia trawls through hours of footage to find the right time of the break in. However, part of the footage has been lost as the storage disk was full. She then waits hours for the police to arrive so she can show them what she does have on the system.

Unfortunately, the thieves are not known to the authorities, and the trail has gone cold. What’s more, the police are concerned that the way she’s storing the footage might be in breach of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules. Julia’s bad day just got worse.

What if Julia installed Vodafone Building Surveillance?

Julia installed Vodafone Building Surveillance at the shop, so her cameras always connect to a secure cloud server, with data recorded and analysed in real time.

She is at home asleep on Sunday night when the smart surveillance system detects activity in the shop outside business hours. It sends her an alert immediately.

Real time alerts, reliable storage and watertight evidence

The footage is stored on our secure cloud system, so Julia can view the activity from her smartphone. What’s more, it’s compliant with GDPR rules, so she’s able to share it with the police.

Officers in a nearby car can identify the thieves and apprehend them. The footage, thanks to a timestamped digital watermark, is considered evidence. The thieves are arrested and charged.

Better staff satisfaction, happier customers and bigger profits

Julia is very thankful she upgraded to a smart surveillance system, but not just because it’s helped catch the thieves. Since opting for Vodafone Building Surveillance, her business is booming and better still, her staff are happier too.

As all the data from her cameras is now stored digitally in Vodafone’s secure cloud and analysed by intelligent algorithms, Julia has learned a lot about her customers in the last year. For starters, she knows when the busiest times of day are and can plan staffing levels and breaks around them.

Customers are happier because they don’t need to queue for their lunchtime baguette, and staff are happier because their breaks are no longer interrupted by unexpected busy periods.

An unexpected bonus – thanks to Smart Wireless Camera

Julia has also installed Smart Wireless Camera to keep an eye on the skips at the back of the shop. There had been a series of thefts from them over the last few months, but though she’d been able to provide the police with high-quality footage, they hadn’t found the culprits.

As it turned out, they were the same thieves who had broken into the shop. Thanks to Vodafone’s Smart Wireless Camera’s ability to work without wires and record high-quality footage even at night, the police were able to solve two crimes at once.
