June 24, 2008 BUSINESS WIRE — Canadian Transportation Solutions Provider Deploys Axis Network Cameras to Keep Its Customer Goods Secure
UCIT Online, the Axis Canadian System Integrator of the Year (2007), was chosen by ATS, the leading single source, full-service transportation solutions firm, to design, configure and install the complete IP Video Security System at all future locations across Canada. ATS has deployed the network surveillance system at five sites, is in the process of adding three more this year and will roll out the systems to all 24 sites across Canada within the next five years.
The 175 Axis network cameras include the AXIS 216FD, AXIS 213 PTZ, AXIS 214 PTZ, AXIS 211, AXIS 223M as well as Axis 241Q video encoders.
Technological advances offer a reliable license plate capturing system that can operate effectively in nearly any condition. Sidney Sommer, managing director of UCIT Online Security in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, installs license plate capture technology for construction site security.
"We currently use this technology on every one of our sites," Sommer says. "It is a big reason why we average over one arrest a week". These tips and tricks will help you understand the opportunities your company can gain from offering this technology to new and existing customers.
Effective video security is not about a cheap camera; it is about the 24-hour monitoring of what that camera is seeing. Someone needs to be viewing those images, and you might need multiple cameras to cover a jobsite properly. Also, the cameras must provide very high-quality images if they are going to actually help the police catch a jobsite theif (most webcams don’t). And finally, the cameras must be specially designed if they are going to work in the extremes of a Canadian winter.
One company that is providing such a video surveillance service to builders in the Southern Ontario market is Mississauga, Ont.-based UCITonline.
