At the Hamburg-based hypermarket chain, EDEKA Voth, some 24 VIVOTEK cameras were installed at its branch in Lemgo from SECOMP, a German-based distributor of VIVOTEK products. The cameras were a mix of FD8166, FD8335H, IP7361, and MD7560.
The cameras are indoors in the grocery area (pictured) and at the entrance and exit, and warehouse loading area.
EDEKA Voth reviewed its security options in 2013. SECOMP was commissioned to revamp the security system.
The FD8166, due to its mini size, and low-profile, was selected for monitoring grocery aisles. Twenty FD8166 cameras, one between two aisles, were installed around the complex. This model features a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor capable of capturing 1920×1080 resolution video at 15 FPS. The camera supports the industrial-standard H.264 compression, to reduce file size and conserve network bandwidth.
The fixed dome network camera FD8335H, featuring WDR Pro (for wide dynamic range), removable infra-red-cut filter, and built-in IR illuminators, was selected for monitoring back doors around the clock. Designed with 1-megapixel CMOS sensor, the camera is capable of capturing 720p HD at 30 FPS and has a IK10- and IP66-rated housing, for outdoor applications.
The bullet style IP7361 was selected for the warehouse loading area. The IP7361 comes with a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor (1600×1200) with a 6 to 9 mm vari-focal, auto-iris lens that enables the camera to deliver detailed images at six times the coverage of conventional VGA cameras, it is claimed. Similar to the FD8335H model, the IP7361 features the IP66-rated housing, removable IR-cut filter, and built-in IR illuminators.
For the entrance, the fixed dome network camera MD7560 was fitted. That features a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor capable of capturing 1600×1200 resolution video. It also supports a wide-angle lens, suitable according to the makers for areas with high activity, such as store entrances.
