Hannah Foods, a family run business in Skelmersdale, U.K., recently upgraded its legacy video surveillance system with a new system consisting of Bosch Security Systems cameras, three DVRs and a keyboard. Some of the cameras were even installed by Unique Integrated Systems (UIS) in the deep freeze and operated at 23 degrees Celsius. The new video surveillance system includes a mixture of 40 Bosch vandal proof IP domes, and 2X D/N domes for indoor and outdoor surveillance.
Hannah Foods, a family run business in Skelmersdale, U.K., recently upgraded its legacy video surveillance system with a new system consisting of 40 Bosch Security Systems cameras, three DVRs and a keyboard. Some of the cameras were even installed by Unique Integrated Systems (UIS) in the deep freeze and operated at 23 degrees Celsius. The new video surveillance system includes a mixture of Bosch vandal proof IP domes, and 2X D/N domes for indoor and outdoor surveillance.
Hannah underwent a US$4.57 million (￡3 million) expansion of the business in 2008 that integrated the cold store and chiller, so that all its products can be brought in from local, national and international suppliers and distributed by a fleet of temperature-controlled vehicles. The original system was in dire need of an upgrade, and due to the challenges on site, such as operating in deep freeze environment, Bosch domes were chosen for the job, said Mark Ashall, Operations Director, UIS. Hannah chose the cameras after Steve Dobby, Technical Sales and Support Manager at Bosch made several demonstrations.
“Our old system was very weak and because of the poor quality of the images we could not prove someone's involvement when a couple of incidents happened externally and internally,” said Anthony Whiteside, GM at Hannah. The new security system has proven to be invaluable, and recently assisted the food company in determining damages to its building had been caused by a HGV driver, while reversing into the loading bay. “Had it not been for the cameras we would not have known who had done it and been thousands of pounds worse off because of the damage,” Whiteside added.
