Arecont Vision Panoramic Cameras Secure Al Nabooda Auto Dealerships
360-and 180-Degree Megapixel Cameras Provide Safe Environment and Prevent Theft
Los Angeles, CA (August 7, 2012) – Arecont Vision's SurroundVideo® 8 megapixel
day/night panoramic view cameras contribute high-resolution images that help to
secure luxury automobiles and are a valuable business tool at Al Nabooda
Automobiles in the United Arab Emirates. An authorized dealer and exclusive
distributor of Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen, Al Nabooda Automobiles has five
showrooms and service centers across Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the
northern emirates of Sharjah and Fujairah. The cameras are positioned to view
the dealerships' sales floors and showrooms, workshops, parts and service
entrances and other locations.
The installation uses Arecont Vision's 8 megapixel SurroundVideo® AV8365DN, a 360-degree
panoramic view day/night camera, and AV8185DN, a similar camera that provides a
180-degree panoramic view. The megapixel cameras enable a highly cost-effective
solution by eliminating the need for mechanical pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) devices and
by reducing the overall number of cameras needed to provide detailed coverage
of large areas. Now Al Nabooda Automobiles is able to provide a safer, more
secure environment for employees and customers, prevent theft and establish
deterrents to minimize damage to vehicles in the showrooms, workshops and
parking areas. As a business tool, the cameras help the luxury dealership
analyze customer traffic and evaluate customer support initiatives.
Several Al Nabooda Automobiles dealerships also use Arecont Vision AV1125IR 1.3 megapixel H.264
MegaView™ IP cameras. The all-in-one day/night bullet-style cameras have 4.5 – 10mm varifocal lenses,
weatherproof enclosures and infrared (IR) illuminators.
ITworks, LLC, a Dubai network systems consultancy, design and build services company for
physical security systems, installed the systems. “Megapixel video provides a
cost-effective solution covering multiple sites,” said Amir A. Kolahzadeh of
ITworks. “High-resolution images enable maximum coverage with fewer cameras,
and low-light performance enables after-hours surveillance.”
“The camera enclosures feature an IP66 environmental rating and can withstand Dubai's
extreme temperatures,” said Ethan Maxon, Middle East and Africa Regional Sales
Manager, Arecont Vision. “Executive management was looking for a comprehensive
physical security solution that would allow remote monitoring of their
facilities and megapixel panoramic images from Arecont Vision cameras provide
the detailed video coverage they need.”
