Based in
Droitwich, Worcestershire, Droitwich Roofing & Building Specialists Ltd
have been established over 30 years
Droitwich Roofing & Building Specialists has two divisions with one
concentrating on aspects of roofing and building from repair works to
large scale dilapidation works, Extensions, Conversions and New Builds.
The second division is a Merchants stocking roofing and building
materials including a large selection of reclamation
materials.
In October of 2009, when the firm decided to move to larger premises, it
was felt that the old analogue CCTV solution, which was becoming increasingly expensive to
maintain due to repeated failures, would offer little value for the new larger site.
Following a tender request to three local CCTV installation companies,
Droitwich Roofing & Building Specialists selected a MOBOTIX solution
from Ecl-ips. As Kevin Dobbs, Office Manager for Droitwich Roofing &
Building Specialists explains, “Our main requirement was for good
quality images, both day and night, and for a system that was easy to
operate with little or no ongoing maintenance cost. The MOBOTIX system
ticked all the boxes and the guys from Ecl-ips really seemed to know the
system well.”
After surveying the site and discussing the exact requirements with the
client, Ecl-ips installed a five camera MOBOTIX system to cover key
areas including the yard entrance, workshop, storage areas, parking lot
and reception. Due to Mobotix’s innovative Q24 hemispheric camera,
Ecl-ips only had to install one camera in the main office building.
Thanks to the 360° all-round view, the Q24 is able to capture an entire
room. With a panorama function and a quad view, the camera can show
images from four different angles simultaneously. Currently the MOBOTIX
Q24 is the only product on the market that offers this functionality and
reduces the amount of cameras needed to provide surveillance of a room.
“The system has been up and running now for several months and any
little tweaks we needed have been done remotely by Ecl-ips without the
need for an expensive site visit,” explains Kevin, “The quality is
excellent and the software is incredibly easy to use.”
Droitwich Roofing & Building Specialists now have the ability to
remotely view any camera on the site via its broadband connection, which
proves useful, if an alarm is triggered or if managers need to find out
if there is anybody on site out of normal working hours.
Due to Mobotix's innovative Q22 hemispheric
camera, Ecl-ips installed only one camera in the main office
The MOBOTIX Q22M hemispheric camera enables 360° allround view and full
image storage. This is the only way for a single camera to record the
area shown in the clip, with all four corners. A user-friendly feature
allows the image to be
corrected both live and in recordings to eliminate distortion. Users can
then view the relevant details more closely using the
software-controlled virtual PTZ function.
The In-Ceiling set allows mounting the cameras in suspended ceilings,
for example. This type of installation provides optimum protection for
the camera and reduces the visible profile to a minimum since the camera
only protrudes 24 mm (1”) from the ceiling.
