Genetec, a provider of unified IP security solutions, announced that Montreal-based Agence Code, a graphic design, advertising and communication agency, has installed Stratocast, an affordable cloud-based video surveillance-as-a-service (VSaaS) monitoring system to help safeguard its office.
Agence Code relied on the expertise of Nuagesight, a Montreal-based Stratocast Certified Partner with a specialty in hosted solutions, to install and configure the new Stratocast video system. Axis Communications' compact, vandal-resistant AXIS M3006-V Fixed Dome Network Cameras were installed in the main loft area and in the meeting room of the studio to provide a 134° viewing angle of each space and at all main entry points. Concerns for wiring were addressed by the Nuagesight team, who identified areas for cameras, which would conceal cables and preserve the modern office aesthetics.
As a forward-thinking agency and strong proponents of cloud-based applications, the owners at Agence Code are very pleased with their new video surveillance system. "With Stratocast, we know our video is backed-up, safe and accessible from anywhere," says Pierre Chapdelaine, Co-Owner at Agence Code "This offers us peace of mind, knowing we can easily pull up video from our tablet device, smartphone or computers to see what's happening in the office when we're at home, out of town or even abroad, and quickly address alarms. We feel at ease even though we previously had very little familiarity with surveillance technology."
Agence Code owners are also using the Stratocast mobile app to view video from their smartphones and verify when cleaning staff are in their offices or in case some weekend hours need to be logged for big projects. According to Chapdelaine, "It's so convenient to be able to just pull up video and check if anyone is in the office. As a small business owner, security is not always something we think about, but Stratocast lets us keep an eye on our business."
