Video Security Solutions That Go The Distance

Logistics companies need to ensure their sites are secure, especially as they are handling third-party goods. pfenning Logistics required a turnkey, high-performance, scalable video security and analytics system. Another challenge they faced was the low bandwidths on their sites, which would struggle to stream high-volume, high-resolution video.

However, with Avigilon Control Center (ACC) and Avigilon’s intelligent HDSM™ technology, pfenning Logistics managed to improve their security while reducing bandwidth. ACC 7 is the latest and most advanced version of Avigilon’s video management software providing an easy-to-use, AI-enabled user interface so critical events don’t go unnoticed. HDSM technology helps deliver maximum image detail with minimum bandwidth. pfenning Logistics security personnel can now quickly access just the part of the image they need, with optimal image quality for their specific monitor size and resolution. And, although HDSM keeps the bandwidth for the transmitted images low, both for the live images and for playback, complete image details - without data loss – are stored on the Avigilon Network Video Recorders.

“The Avigilon cameras provide great image detail and advanced object detection, so our controllers can quickly make sense of what they are seeing. And the HDSM streaming management technology means we can maintain high-quality imaging, whilst reducing bandwidth usage and storage consumption. Working together, pulling on their wealth of experience, Schweickert and Avigilon have delivered as promised; and, following the successful roll-out at our new state-of-the-art contract logistics hub at Monsheim, we are now looking at upgrading our systems at our HQ in Heddesheim to an Avigilon video security and analytics solution too.”
