The Mall has more than 1.1 million square feet of retail space and over 100 specialty shops and four department stores. Twenty-seven cameras monitor the main public shopping areas inside the mall and the surrounding areas around the outside of the building.
Control Center, IndigoVision’s IP video and alarm management software, is used by operators to view live and recorded video from any of the cameras. Two Control Center workstations are used, one in the main security control room and one in the manager’s office.
Video is recorded using IndigoVision’s Network Video Recorder software running on a Windows 2003 server.
Jerry Weller, Northgate Mall’s Manager, said: “The video quality produced by the system is excellent and the Control Center software is very easy to use. The map layout on Control Center, which shows the camera positions, has been a great help in training new operators. The search and analysis tools also allow the operators to quickly find the required video clip from recorded footage.”
