Domes on The Range
Kristie Bendall, MD of Gloucester-based Fasit Security, said: “The Range has an excellent reputation for offering quality merchandise at affordable prices. Regretfully, however, customers are not always honest and therefore we were asked to recommend and install a CCTV system which would allow security personnel at The Range’s head office, as well as local store management, to keep a close eye on any suspicious activity.”
Fasit has installed 10 Sanyo VCC-9600P high speed domes at each of The Range stores. These high performance models, which can pan at 435 degrees per second, offer a combined optical/digital 480 x zoom capability. Together with up to 20 other fixed Sanyo cameras installed at each store, the domes capture high resolution video images which are recorded and stored on Sanyo DSR-5716P digital video recorders.
Full control
“We felt confident in recommending the DSR-5716P DVR to our client as we had used it successfully on a number of other projects and knew that it was very effective in enabling operators to take full control of the domes and cameras,” Bendall said. “Another major benefit was that the DSR-5716P uses JPEG2000 compression which facilitates high speed transmission of images across a network without the normal pixcelation. This was obviously desirable when looking to capitalise on the high resolution images generated by the domes.”
The Range originated in the markets of the Southwest where founder Chris Dawson started doing business as an open air market trader. The first Range ‘superstore’ was opened at Sugar Mill Business Park in Plymouth in 1989 and the business has now grown into a retail chain with 37 stores nationwide.
