IQinVision, high-performance HD megapixel IP cameras provider, announced that Ellemarken Condominiums, located in Koge, Denmark, have deployed a combined IQinVision and Milestone IP video surveillance system to improve safety and reduce vandalism. Denmark-based, value added integrator Smartguard is in charge of project installation.
The Ellemarken complex, situated in Koge, Denmark, 45 miles southwest of Copenhagen, is comprised of more than 1,125 x1, 2, 3 or 4 bedroom units. The condominium's management sought to improve overall security at the complex, prevent break-ins and theft, reduce graffiti, and most importantly, prevent unauthorized persons from entering buildings through each building's stairwell entrances.
Ellemarken management organized a shoot-out between several leading, well-known camera brands. IQinVision won the competition and was deemed to be the best value for the money, based on picture quality, price comparison, and the company's industry-best 5-year warranty.
The housing development has deployed 248 IQeye cameras throughout all its buildings, locating them in every stairwell entrance. The majority of the cameras are IQeye Alliance-mx models. Video is recorded at 8 fps and is viewed mainly for post-incident investigation. All camera data is managed by Milestone XProtect Corporate IP video management software (VMS), designed for large-scale, high-security deployments.
Since the cameras have been installed, Ellemarken management has noticed a significant reduction in the number of security incidents. Several crimes have already been solved using video evidence and with the large decrease in the number of crimes and other expensive incidents, management is confident their expenditure on the higher quality IQeye cameras will achieve a full return on investment within 2 years.
