Integrated mobile solution prevents theft at restaurant

December 2010 Surveillance

Pelco by Schneider Electric is pleased to announce that the open standards of the Pelco DX8100 DVR and mobiDEOS MobileCamViewer is providing the ideal integrated solution for the Boulevard Café, a San Francisco Bay Area restaurant, by thwarting an internal theft problem and protecting the wellbeing of its customers.

“It makes me feel more secure because I am able to oversee my business without physically being there,” says restaurant owner Billy Panos.

From the camera footage relayed by the Pelco DX8100 DVR to his mobile phone on MobileCamViewer, Panos was able to see that drinks were being given away free from the bar – and he put an end to the situation. “Bartenders are now no longer giving away drinks for free, which has probably saved the company hundreds or even thousands of dollars,” he says.

mobiDEOS’ flagship product, MobileCamViewer, offers enterprise class video surveillance and remote monitoring on more than 750 mobile devices including the iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Palm and J2ME. Video can be viewed using the application without making any modifications to network settings, such as port opening or forwarding.

This open, integrated solution enables Panos to monitor and control his video security system in a way that was once inconceivable. Using the MobileCamViewer application from mobiDEOS, with his Pelco DX8100, Panos can now monitor and control his 22 Pelco and third-party PTZ cameras located throughout the restaurant’s interior and exterior from virtually anywhere using his iPhone. With the number of employees Panos has, he says it was imperative to have video security available to him remotely to deter the theft of not only liquor, but also food and money.

“Surveillance systems and the mobile apps that work with them are worth their weight in gold. Once I started using them, I wondered how I got by without it. It is technology at its finest,” Panos says.
