Mission
The Beer Cellar recently transitioned to a new storefront that not only provided expanded business opportunity but also required added safety and security measures in a busy and highly functional space. A retail beer store and added taproom, The Beer Cellar has a small staff in charge of watching over entrances, cash registers and parking lots, all while maintaining a smooth operation.
Solution
The Beer Cellar utilizes the full spectrum of
AXIS Companion camera offerings paired with AXIS Companion software, giving it a total end-to-end solution with tight integration. To monitor the on-site bar and coolers, AXIS Companion Dome V is deployed to handle complex light conditions and keep an eye on cash flow behind the counter. An AXIS Companion Eye L is used as an overview cameras in the middle of the retail floor while an AXIS Companion Cube L monitors the back door to spot deliveries and record audio of those transactions while keeping an eye on that entryway. An AXIS Companion Bullet LE rounds out the system with a steady image outdoors of the parking lot.
Result
If crowds pick up on a busy night, The system by
Axis Communications allows Hawley to be a click away from seeing that help may be needed and he can run down to the store and assist his staff. The cameras are a general deterrence for shoplifters and help employees keep peace of mind knowing that they can focus on their tasks at hand while the cameras will back them up should an incident occur. In one case of a stolen piece of apparel, cameras easily caught the individual in the act and helped Hawley understand the situation with ease.
