Dahua Technology, a world-leading manufacturer of video surveillance products headquartered in Hangzhou, China, provides an advanced security solution for SHOP N SAVE in Fiji.
Shop ’n Save was founded in 1979 as a grocery store in Belleville. The chain now includes thirty-eight stores in the St. Louis metropolitan area, and three additional stores in Springfield, Illinois.
In 1983, the retail chain was acquired by Wetterau, Inc. Nine years later, in 1992, Wetterau was acquired by SuperValu, and Shop ’n Save has been a subsidiary of SuperValu since. Recently, Shop N Save Supermarkets have become the fastest growing supermarket chain in Fiji with 16 supermarkets, serving the major towns and cities in Viti Levu and Vanua Levu - the two major islands of Fiji. The Company's trading name "SHOP N SAVE" is an identifiable brand name in the supermarket industry in Fiji, known both for the quality of its service and products.
Advanced Video Security Solution
Supermarkets are among the places where supervision and security is most vital, and yet extremely difficult to properly maintain. A supermarket is usually enormous in size with racks and partitions literally everywhere. Shop ’n Save in Fiji needed a more advanced security solution for its protection. Because of the diversity of areas that needed protecting in Shop ’n Save, Dahua offered dome cameras and bullet cameras for the front-end and Beneficio series NVRs for storage-end.
Dahua IR bullet cameras are installed in the entrances and exits and on the sales floor to prevent potential crime. Besides IR bullet cameras, the IR dome cameras are installed in the cash desk area, which provides a high zoom range to capture all details and maximum to 20fps@3M to support the security staff at their work. Dahua's 3-Megapixel full HD network water-proof IR bullet camera is delicately designed with a 2.7-12mm fixed lens and features excellent picture quality. IP66-rated weatherproofing and dust-proofing ensures the cameras can withstand even the harshest weather environments. Furthermore, IK10-rated vandal-proofing can effectively prevent violent destruction.
Dahua 3-Megapixel full HD water-proof & vandal-proof network IR dome camera supports H.264 & MJPEG dual-stream encoding with 13-Megapixel effective resolution, and the maximum IR LEDs' length is up to 30 meters.
The cameras are mounted in all critical spots which allows the manager and employees to manually follow events in the store, e.g. if a detective is involved. For recording, Dahua provided its Beneficio NVRs series including 16CH 2U 16PoE network video recorder and 16CH 1.5U 16PoE network video recorder. The Beneficio series recorder is user-friendly, reliable and has high recording performances in real-time. Data is compressed in H.264 which ensures a long recording period.
