Newclare, west of Johannesburg, is a suburb that has had more than its share of challenges in the ongoing fight against crime. Owner and Manager of Newclare Motors, Zak Adams, has lived in the area for most of his life and is no stranger to the grittier side of operating a 24-hour business in a fairly tough neighborhood. As part of the knockdown-and-rebuild of his Shell filling station, Adams decided to source and install an upgraded version of his existing analog surveillance system.
Newclare, west of Johannesburg, is a suburb that has had more than its share of challenges in the ongoing fight against crime. Owner and Manager of Newclare Motors, Zak Adams, has lived in the area for most of his life and is no stranger to the grittier side of operating a 24-hour business in a fairly tough neighborhood. As part of the knockdown-and-rebuild of his Shell filling station, Adams decided to source and install an upgraded version of his existing analog surveillance system.
Adams' first priority was to install a system that could provide excellent image quality in an efficient manner. He considered several options available on the security surveillance market before Shell Head Office introduced him to Roy Alves, Axis Communications' African Region Country Manager. Adams was bowled over by the superior clarity of the Axis HD network cameras and ML Technologies, a solutions integrator specializing in high technology systems, was contracted to deploy an Axis solution.
Several arrests, for incidents ranging from garage card fraud to theft of a manhole cover, have been carried out. The filling station is able to respond appropriately to customer queries and complaints by scrutinizing recorded footage and extracting the relevant images. While staff and customers of Newclare Motors go about their daily business in a safe and peaceful environment, Adams can rest assured that no nefarious action or endeavor can escape the eagle eye of his ever-vigilant surveillance system.
"The ability of the surveillance system to provide crystal clear images regardless of where I am monitoring the cameras from persuaded me to install a similar solution in my own home," said Zak Adams, Owner of Newclare Motors.
