The following is a surveillance scheme for chain enterprises using ENSTER product series after adding the installation of video management software (VMS) on computers at the headquarters:
I. Front-end equipment
High-definition network cameras: Install ENSTER high-definition network cameras at key locations in each store, such as entrances, cashier counters, shelf areas, and warehouses. These cameras have high resolution and can clearly capture images to provide high-quality surveillance pictures. For example, a wide-angle high-definition network camera can be installed at the entrance to comprehensively monitor people entering and leaving; a high-definition camera can be installed above the cashier counter to clearly record the transaction process.
II. Transmission system
Ethernet switches: Deploy ENSTER Ethernet switches in each store to connect cameras and local surveillance equipment (such as NVRs) in the store. Ensure that the switches have sufficient port numbers and bandwidth to support data transmission from multiple cameras.
III. Local storage equipment (each store)
Network Video Recorder (NVR): Each store is equipped with an NVR for storing surveillance videos captured by local cameras. The NVR should have sufficient storage capacity and reliable storage performance to ensure the integrity and accessibility of video data. Select hard drives with appropriate capacities according to the surveillance needs and video retention time requirements of the store. For example, for a medium-sized store, a 4TB or larger capacity hard drive can be selected.
IV. Headquarters surveillance system
Video management software (VMS): Install the specialized video management software provided by ENSTER on computers at the headquarters. This software has the following functions:
Centralized management: Can add and manage surveillance equipment of all stores and view the surveillance pictures of each store in real time. Through the software interface, headquarters managers can easily switch between surveillance views of different stores to achieve unified surveillance of multiple stores.
Video playback: Can remotely retrieve and play back historical surveillance videos stored in NVRs of each store. Precise queries can be made according to conditions such as time, location, and events, making it convenient for the headquarters to view and analyze surveillance videos of specific time periods or events. For example, when an investigation of a specific event in a store is needed, the headquarters can quickly find the relevant video for playback.
Permission management: Supports multi-level permission control. Different permission levels can be set at the headquarters according to different user roles. For example, senior managers at the headquarters can have the permission to view and manage surveillance of all stores, while the person in charge of each store can only view the surveillance pictures of their own store to ensure the security and confidentiality of surveillance information.
Alarm management: Link with the surveillance systems of each store. When the surveillance equipment in a store detects abnormal situations (such as intrusion, smoke, fire, etc.), the VMS software can receive alarm information in a timely manner and send alarms to relevant personnel at the headquarters in multiple ways (such as pop-up windows, sound prompts, text message notifications, etc.) so that the headquarters can respond and handle it quickly.
Mobile remote surveillance: In addition to using the VMS software for surveillance on computers at the headquarters, headquarters personnel can also log in to the VMS system at any time and anywhere through installing the corresponding mobile APP to view the surveillance pictures of each store in real time, realizing more flexible remote surveillance. No matter where headquarters personnel are, as long as the mobile phone has a network connection, they can grasp the situation of stores at any time.
V. Network connection
Internet connection: Each store transmits surveillance data to the headquarters through a stable Internet connection. Ensure that the network bandwidth of the store can meet the real-time transmission requirements of surveillance video data to avoid 卡顿 or delay. According to the actual number of surveillance channels and picture quality requirements of the store, select an appropriate network bandwidth package.
VPN or dedicated network channel (optional): To improve the security and stability of data transmission, consider establishing a VPN (virtual private network) connection or using a dedicated network channel. This can encrypt surveillance data transmission, prevent data from being stolen or tampered with, and at the same time ensure that surveillance data can still be reliably transmitted to the headquarters in the case of network congestion or instability.
Through the above scheme, using ENSTER's product series, chain enterprises can achieve centralized management and remote surveillance of store surveillance by the headquarters, improve management efficiency and security, and respond to various situations in a timely manner, providing strong support for enterprise operation and management. At the same time, the equipment and software selection in the scheme can be appropriately adjusted and optimized according to the specific scale, budget, and needs of the enterprise.
