VIVOTEK Creates Bespoke High-Quality Security System for High-end Jewelry Boutique in Mexico

For the jewelry business owner, ensuring the highest level of security has always been a top priority. VIVOTEK, the global leading IP surveillance provider, has built up a rigorous surveillance system for Peyrelongue Chronos, a well-known luxury boutique offering high-end jewelry in Mexico, to monitor their precious products without any blind spots and to prevent robbery or theft. Peyrelongue Chronos has recently remodeled its facilities, including an overall of the video surveillance system. In search of the best solution to meet demands for both outside and inside the store, Peyrelongue Chronos found all of its requirements met by the wide range of VIVOTEK cameras. The 180-degree multi-sensor MS8391-EV was mounted on the facade of the boutique to maximize the field of view with 12-megapixel high-quality images and reduce the number of cameras required, thus cutting down installation costs. The camera is also ideal for the outdoors because of the robust housing that resists rain, dust and protects it from vandalism or tampering. To enhance the outdoor security of the building, two FD9360-H cameras were added to monitor the avenue in both directions and provide clear night views despite the harsh outdoor environment. Inside the Peyrelongue Chronos store, two of MS9390-HV, the most efficient panoramic network camera, were installed in the jewelry area to surveil all displays as well as all movements within them. With its unique and stylish dual-sensor design, the MS9390-HV offers a 180-degree field of view and range of up to 20 meters, and is capable of maintaining a higher field of view (FoV) than traditional multi-sensor panoramic cameras using four sensors. Within the spacious and comfortable luxury watch area, two 12-megapixel fisheye cameras, the FE8191 and FE9191 were chosen to monitor the product showcases, delivering blind-spot-free 360-degree surround imaging of wide areas. Further enhancing performance, the FE9191 features AI-powered video content analysis – Smart 360 VCA, including intrusion detection, crowd detection, and loitering detection, which enables the security staff to receive alarm notification for any notable event. Finally, for the shared area such as aisles, entrances, and exits, the ability to capture high-quality images both in low light and high-contrast environments is a critical issue when selecting surveillance cameras. The 5-megapixel and 2-megapixel dome cameras, FD9189- HM and FD8166A-N, were chosen precisely for this reason. The FD9189-HM is equipped with 30 meters range IR illuminators for enhanced night vision, and the FD8166A-N is armed with invisible 940nm IR illuminators and capable to see up to 6 meters in total darkness, making it a sure bet to meet all the surveillance requirements in transit zones within this renowned boutique. “Thanks to VIVOTEK’s high-level security system, we are confident that we can guarantee our clients the best experience from the moment they walk in. Peyrelongue Chronos feels secure with VIVOTEK’s surveillance solution while servicing clients,” pointed out Ana LucíaGarcía, Marketing and PR Manager of Peyrelongue Chronos, “The most remarkable thing when working with VIVOTEK is technical support. They assisted me both pre-sale and post-sale to provide quality service to our customers. No matter what types of security issue my clients may have, I know I can solve it with VIVOTEK’s technology,” remarked Serafin Sanchez, Automatization Server Manager and Integrator Certified by VIVOTEK.

The India Build Centre empowers BCD to be an extension of the regional Dell sales teams and enables the in-region build, certification, delivery and deployment of purpose-built solutions for video surveillance, analytics, computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI). “The expansion of BCD into India is another step toward our joint partnership of addressing customers’ needs globally. BCD not only has the ability to ship orders in a matter of days, but we have also worked out the inter-company logistics between Dell and BCD to ensure the direct Dell sales teams within the META and APAC regions get compensated directly from their company and are engaged in critical deals,” said Kelly Carlberg, Global Alliance Manager for Dell Technologies at BCD, “This helps both companies maintain a singular view to the customer. It brings the power of Dell and the expertise of BCD together to jointly address our mutual customer’s needs.” “The opening of BCD International’s India Build Centre is a game changer for the safety/ security and computer vision market in APAC.

BAPS temples have deployed BCD solutions for over a decade, with their international headquarters also located in Ahmedabad, “I have been privileged to experience firsthand the highest level of customer support one could expect. It brings extra comfort to know that the same service and solutions will now be available to our organization locally in India.” Located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the India Build Centre spans 1,524 metres (5,000 square feet) and features meeting rooms and a technology lab capable of building 75 systems simultaneously. The facility is federated with the BCD USA Innovation and OEM Build Centres, enabling the BCD technology team to do quality assurance (QA) checks to ensure the highest level of product integrity. Monitoring the India Build Centre are high-definition cameras and video management software, provided by key BCD vendor partners. The core IT technology within the centre is built on Intel-infused newest-generation BCD server equipment, an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise video network infrastructure, and Seagate Technology enterprise and surveillance AI hard drives. All 75 station monitors are Dell-branded, along with administrative equipment using OptiPlex workstations and Latitude notebooks. The India Build Centre is the first of multiple BCD will launch in 2021. Later this month, BCD will open centres in Mexico City and the Netherlands, servicing the Latin America and Europe regions, respectively.

Zyxel Leaves Taiwan Excellence Awards as Networking Industry’s Biggest Winner

Zyxel and its innovative product lines have been recognized at the Taiwan Excellence Awards, with its next-generation Wi-Fi 6 and 5G routers earning the company three separate honors – more than any other networking brand. The awards, presented at a ceremony in Taipei on 25 November, marked the 16th consecutive year Zyxel has been honored at the event and increased its total prize haul to 95 awards. This year’s success comes as the result of Zyxel’s forward-looking R&D in innovative technologies. In the past 12 months, the company has rolled out new lines of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G products, which have already been deployed in offices, factories, schools, hotels, and homes worldwide. And the winners are… Zyxel’s first award-winning product was the Armor G5 multi-gigabit router, which unleashes unprecedented data rates by utilizing Wi-Fi 6. The new standard in connectivity is complemented by a 64-bit 2.2 GHz quad-core processor with 13 high-gain antennas, allowing the Armor G5 to handle more than 30 simultaneous connections without compromising on speed. The router also fully supports Open VPN, allowing users to protect every connection and device on their network – even those that don’t normally allow VPN protection, like smart TVs and gaming consoles. Similarly, Zyxel was awarded for its NR5101 5G NR indoor router – one of the first solutions on the market for 5G new radio (NR) fixed wireless access (FWA). The router delivers robust bandwidth and low latency even to areas that fixed broadband cannot reach. By leveraging the latest 5G and Wi-Fi 6 technology, it creates an ultra-high speed, dead zone-free Wi-Fi experience for users. Gary Chen, Managing Director, Zyxel India said, “We at Zxyel are happy to receive the prestigious award from Taiwan Excellence, this award further adds to the global expertise and acceptance for the Zyxel as a brand. It conveys the innovation Zyxel brings to the market for our global satisfied customers. I thank Zyxel team for their continuous efforts in bringing these awards home again and again. Lastly, thanks to Taiwan Excellence jury for nominating Zyxel and awarding us with this award.” Zyxel’s final honor was for a router in the same ground-breaking product line: the NR7101 5G NR outdoor router. It features the same lightning-fast 5G-powered speeds as the NR5101 but comes specially built for toughness, with a hardened IP68-certified enclosure with industrial-grade components that can withstand even the harshest environment and weather conditions. The Taiwan Excellence Awards were established by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 1993 and recognize products that offer innovative value. Entries are judged on their achievements in R&D, design, quality, and marketing.
