Axis IP Surveillance Watches over French Industrial Plant

The Téfal Group's main industrial site in France with 36 hectares located in Rumilly, Haute Savoie, has 2,200 employees across 16 buildings. To strengthen its security, optimize the movements of its security staff and, as much as possible, secure its various access points, Téfal was looking to completely overhaul its video surveillance installation. The old analog system in place was inflexible and urgently needed a solution.

The challenge for Axis was to install a centralized system using a specific network for IP video, while keeping the existing analog cameras at the site. To match these specifications, the video surveillance system had to be capable of meeting multiple requirements: Use IP technology to enable configuration from a PC, centralize all video streams to rationalize the video surveillance system and keep the existing infrastructure.

SPIE DCCS, an Axis partner and security specialist responsible for the project, deployed the solution per zone. Six zones are now monitored by 70 Axis network cameras and four Axis video servers. All are administered by a Camtrace video recording and management solution.
Thanks to the Axis network video installation, Téfal has been able to increase the profitability and effectiveness of its on-site surveillance team, and optimize surveillance with a more homogeneous camera coverage across the whole site.

“Cameras are an essential tool for security staff,“ said Castan, Project Head at Téfal.
