Remote Off-Site Storage of IP Network Video
When Lee Fowler was looking for a surveillance solution at his Subway Sandwiches & Soups franchise, he knew he wanted a system which could monitor all of his locations from his home office in Fargo, ND.
Ignus Technologies was not only able to offer an affordable solution for remote monitoring, but introduced Fowler to the idea of recording the video off-site to centralized location. Ignus� Central Storage Solution also gives them peace-of-mind knowing the recording device is stored safely away from each store location eliminating a sometimes costly piece of equipment as well as creating a tamper-resistant environment at the store level.
Fowler�s current locations include stores in Fargo, Moorhead, Fergus Falls and Wahpeton. With the use of a high-speed DSL line and IP network cameras, they are able to managed and record the video over the Internet from one login on a secure website.
Ignus Technologies has partnered with byRemote, Inc. in Fargo, ND to offer the only secure off-site hosted video surveillance storage in the Upper Midwest. �We have one of the only surveillance hosting facilities in the country to offer our clients a way to record their video off-site.� say Eric Zwingel, Surveillance Consultant for Ignus Technologies. �This unique offering has been largely successful for small to medium businesses who want a surveillance solution but either have budget or facility constraints.� adds Zwingel.
In the case of the Sooper Stop gas station and convenience store in West Fargo, owner Todd Jacobson adds �Because we were able to find the images and share them with the police so quickly, I recovered all of my losses.� Jacobson was referring to an armed robbery that happened at his C-store just three weeks after installing his system. The police were able to print out images right from the police station and began their search for the suspect who was apprehended within an hour and a half.
�I would recommend this system to any small business owner looking to improve security and surveillance in their stores.� says Jacobson.
