my operational colleagues can also simultaneously access the system from their PCs or laptops and if they are off site, even monitor activity from their tablets or smartphones,” he added.
Tracking individual
packages APC Overnight places considerable importance on being able to track individual packages that are processed at the Cannock hub. “We take great care to ensure that
our customers’ property arrives in good condition as well as on time,” said Dicken. “It is important therefore that we
can identify every package as it passes though the sorting centre so that any complaints of lost or damaged parcels can be properly investigated,” he added. Dicken went on to say that the high
definition Samsung cameras play a key role in helping his company achieve this by providing a visual record of how it handles customers’ parcels from the moment they arrive in Cannock. “This is achieved by tying in the video
surveillance system with our bar code booking system,” he said. A total of 124 Samsung cameras
have been installed by Cannock based Securitec Systems Ltd who were awarded the contract to install and commission a video surveillance that
Samsung in the spotlight
Samsung manufactures video surveillance and access control products designed to meet the current and future needs of security professionals.
The products use innovative technologies, many of which are unique to Samsung, which can deliver tangible benefits and outstanding value to those involved in combating criminal activity, whilst offering time and cost saving advantages to installers and system integrators. Samsung’s calls it technology philosophy `Smart Security’ and
its portfolio for clients includes a comprehensive and range of analogue cameras, DVRs and monitors, a complete end-to-end IP solutions range, licence-free viewing and recording software, and a line-up of high definition megapixel cameras. These cameras incorporate Samsung’s Techwin WiseNet DSP
chipsets to allow the multi-streaming of video whilst putting the user firmly in control of bandwidth management. Hybrid options include encoders, which provide a cost effective, and easy to implement method of adding analogue cameras to an IP/network based video surveillance system. Samsung says that its biometric, proximity and smart card & PIN based access control systems can be fully integrated with Samsung’s SRD digital video recorder range. This allows users to achieve maximum advantage from their investment in a security system by ensuring that access control events and alarms can be reliably synchronised with relevant video.

would ensure there were no blind spots both within the distribution centre and its surrounding area. “As is usual with a project of this
kind, the research and design stages are very important,” said Martin Kadir of Securitec Systems, a certified Samsung Smart Partner. “We spent considerable time
deciding on what type of cameras to recommend. We had of course to take into account what the objective was at each specified camera location, as well as the likely environmental and lighting conditions, as some of the cameras would be deployed to monitor external areas,” he added. 61 of the specified cameras are
from the Samsung LiteNet ‘affordable’ network camera series. 36 of these are SND-7061 3 megapixel Full HD network dome cameras and 25 are SND-5061 1.3 megapixel network dome cameras.
Power over Ethernet Both models are equipped with a 3~8mm varifocal lens and share a long list of features including four programmable Motion Detection zones, 12 programmable Privacy Zones and PoE (Power over Ethernet). The new models also have a Day/
Night feature which automatically configures the camera to capture either colour or B/W images depending
on the prevailing lighting conditions, and also incorporate a scene change tampering feature which creates an alert if, for example, paint is sprayed on a camera lens or if there is unauthorised movement of a camera away from its usual field of view. These ONVIF compliant models also support H.264 and MJPEG compression methods, providing the option to simultaneously transmit images to multiple locations at various frame rates. The remainder of the 124 cameras
are a mixture of fixed cameras and PTZ domes, each carefully selected for the specific location at which they are installed in order that the video surveillance system meets APC Overnight’s expectations. The images captured by all the
cameras are recorded onto Samsung network video recorders with operators able to view both live and recorded video with the help of Samsung Security Manager license-free video surveillance management software.
