Full day and night functionality is ensured through the switchable infrared cut filter. The integrated 850nm LEDs makes additional lighting unnecessary.

zoom and focus can be adjusted at any time externally without having to open the housing. Thanks to its IP68 protection rating, the camera is also ideally equipped for outdoor use regardless of whether the summer is deluged with rain or temperatures soar to 50°C. And if you don’t actually live in Siberia, the camera is also the ideal choice in winter when temperatures drop to -20°C. But its inner values are also impressive. Reliable surveillance also at night is not only ensured by the switchable infrared cut filter, but also by the forty integrated 850 nm LEDs with an illumination range of up to 50 metres making additional illumination unnecessary for the majority of applications. The VKC-13100 is currently available with a choice of three different focal lengths: 2.8-10mm, 6-50mm or 3.8-45.6mm, and the third version also comes with a 12x motor zoom lens. Further models – including with HDcctv and IP camera modules – are currently in development.

Central surveillance, local action The nationwide VdS-approved ML-Sicherheitszentrale security control centre relies on Zelaris “Caught in the act”, is the point, and not “observed in the act a few days later”. A phrase that emphasises: direct action is needed during a burglary. On the other hand, subsequent evaluation of the recorded imagery also has only low beneficial value for high resolution IP megapixel pictures, unless you would like to count the dust particles on the culprit’s ski mask. Cost reasons often rule out 24-hour on-site surveillance. ML-Sicherheitszentrale GmbH (www. ml-sicherheitszentrale.de) has developed a simple RALF SCHECKENBACH has been employed at Alarm- und Sicherheitstechnik Lohrer GmbH in Weinheim since 2002 where he manages the sales and core business of “video surveillance technology”.

solution for this dilemma. At the centre of this concept: the Zelaris video management software.

ML-Sicherheitszentrale offers its services as a VdS-approved emergency and service control centre throughout Germany. Cooperation with local partners at its customers’ camera sites allows the company to offer a solution that can be summarised as follows: event-triggered imagery from IP cameras is received and evaluated 24-hours per day centrally in Mannheim, local security personnel are only alerted to take action when required. Zelaris brings together the IP cameras and sites for individual customers on one user interface. Why was the decision made to opt for Zelaris? “On the one hand, very many IP camera protocols are incorporated directly in Zelaris, and on the other hand, the integrated ONVIF interface will ensure high flexibility in the future”, explained Ralf Scheckenbach from Alarm- und Sicherheitstechnik Lohrer GmbH who is the responsible specialist installer who helped draw up the concept. “Furthermore, I only have one-off costs for Zelaris for extensions and updates. Zelaris was therefore the optimum solution with regard to costs and benefits.” ML-Sicherheitszentrale is staffed 24-hours per day all year round. Its emergency and services control centre is therefore ideal for numerous applications for which around-the-clock surveillance is a requirement, but there is no possibility for a company to implement this itself.

Shopping Experience PROJECT REPORT eneo complete systems in over sixty Müller Drogerie-

markt drugstores. With nearly 24,000 employees and over 600 stores, Müller Drogerie is one of the leading drugstore chains in Germany. The responsible security company Müller Sicherheitsdienst Ulm (MSDU) relies on video surveillance from eneo to reduce inventory differences.

T

he history of the Müller

drugstores reads like the Swabian version of the American dream: what origi-

nally started up on 15 March 1953 as a men’s hairdresser’s salon in Unterfahlheim near Ulm in Bavaria is today one of the leading drugstore chains with outlets in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia and Spain. Along the

road to this goal, company founder Erwin Müller shook the self-conception of an entire sector with his revolutionary selfservice drugstore concept, and he is recorded in history as being the ‘rebel from Ulm’ after he also opened his branches on Mondays in 1967 contrary to instructions from the hairdresser guild. The fact that the guild then barred him because of this was apparently of little interest to Erwin Müller, because in the following year he integrated the sale of drugstore goods in a hairdresser‘s salon and thus laid the foundation stone for the Müller stores we know today. The success proved Müller right: throughout Europe nearly 24,000 people are now working in

over 600 stores. And Müller Drogerie is continuing to grow: an average of 50 new stores is opened every year with a range also covering CDs, toys and writing materials, for instance, so the company now clearly stands out from the competition. The product range allows a shopping experience in a pleasant atmosphere and at prices which, according to a Müller slogan, need not fear comparison: “You should compare our prices.”

Hundreds of eneo devices in operation One reason that the prices can still be kept low is the video surveillance from eneo, which has now been installed in over sixty Müller Drogerie stores. Because inventory differences are a growing problem in the retail trade, and they can – without effective prevention – result in increasing prices. Therefore the requirement is to protect the honest customers. Systems are always installed at Müller Drogerie in compliance with strict data protection regulations that have to be painstakingly fulfilled by the responsible installation company using a wide-ranging checklist and confirmed by signature. Why did Müller Drogerie opt for eneo? “Acting on the recommendation from our installation company, we carried out a three-week test in a store which was very successful”, explained Mario Messner, the Managing Director of Müller Sicherheitsdienste Ulm (MSDU). “The good picture quality was sufficient to allow a slower recording rate as compared to a different recorder model. We wanted to keep the storage requirement small, so the decision was made quickly. Additionally the price/performance ratio impressed us – which is not insignificant when numerous cameras are installed in every store.” And Mario Messner has still not regretted the decision today, on the contrary: “We are now operating numerous cameras, domes and recorders from eneo in over sixty stores – the number is in the hundreds. The malfunction rate is so minimal that it can be ignored. The devices work absolutely reliably.”

For free is not the same as cheap. I am also advanced, but nonetheless I don’t cost a cent. The specialist installer did not want to believe this when he read my specifications on the website. “But that is a trick”, he mumbled, “at first the stuff works, but it will have to be paid for sometime later.” No, really no – I am a member of the ‘freeware’ class, and not ‘shareware’ or even ‘pay-now goods’. And freeware remains what it is: free.

“But then there are bound to be some limitations, and when I am at my customer after having installed everything properly, I switch on the computer and instead of the live imagery from the cameras, the ‘freeware’ connects itself openly and freely with a demo clip that presents a bird’s-eye view of the beauty of the Black Forest.” But I must also unfortunately contradict this.

Admittedly, my bigger sisters can still do a little more than me. Nonetheless, you can consider me as being fully functional. And as an aside: when you would like a little more later on, I also have the potential to grow with you. As a song put it so well: the best things in life are free.
