River Island makes move to integrated IP approach
9 Jun 2017
Enabling a switch from stand-alone to multi-site systems
Background
One the UK’s most loved fashion brands
With over 60 years of fashion retailing experience, River Island
is one of the most well-known and loved brands on the UK High
Street. Renowned for its stylish, affordable fashion, its customers
can always rely on River Island for great going-out looks and
occasion wear. It prides itself on being the perfect store to pick
up everything for a brand new head-to-toe look. Almost all of its
products are designed in-house and, with one of the largest design
teams on the High Street, it is proud to bring original new fashion
in-store and online for its customers every single week.
River Island has more than 350 stores, plus a network of offices
and warehouses across the UK, Ireland and internationally
throughout Asia, the Middle East and Europe. As with many
retail brands with multiple, widely dispersed stores, surveillance
capability across the River Island network had evolved organically
over many years on a site-by-site basis as the business expanded.
Challenges
Enabling a switch from stand-alone
to multi-site systems
To dramatically update and improve its CCTV surveillance,
River Island decided to transition from legacy analogue
systems to an IP-enabled approach. Historically, each store’s
CCTV had run as a stand-alone system. This made it increasingly
difficult for the business to operate, maintain and upgrade the
surveillance systems efficiently, and in the event of an incident
a security operative would physically need to visit each store to
retrieve footage.
Furthermore, it limited scope to introduce next-generation
features that could drive value. With the decision to manage a
phased introduction, River Island scoped its specification for
a futureproof system that would be easy to install, cost-effective
to run, easy to operate and simple to maintain with responsive
customer service. To deliver easily retrievable high-definition
images fast, the solution had to include IP cameras, network
video recorders and video management software. The solution
would need to provide reliable 24/7 cover for strategic locations,
including entrance doors, stairwells and transaction areas
throughout each store.
Solution
Smooth transition delivers highly efficient
HD surveillance
The wholly IP-enabled IDIS DirectIP™ solution being rolled out
by River Island includes a mix of HD cameras (between 7 and 30
per store), network video recorders and licence-free IDIS Centre
video management software with five stores and a logistics centre
now complete. Designed with robust, resilient network security in
mind, the solution eliminates any complexity, making it extremely
easy for in-store staff to operate. DirectIP utilises true plug-and-play
functionality with implicit pairing of devices, reducing the amount
of information that River Island needs to manage.
The solution incorporates IDIS FEN (For Every Network)
technology, which means that multi-site changes can be easily
and simply managed from a single point. Used with all IDIS
NVRs, FEN is an automated network configuration service that
simplifies installation of networked surveillance systems.
It also enables easy remote access without the need for advanced
IT knowledge and requires no static IP addressing. As a result,
a highly robust, resilient surveillance capability can operate 24/7,
with updates automatically made with minimal additional
resource required.
Results and Benefits
Advanced analytics, excellent ease-of-use and
futureproof features
Combining the most cutting-edge surveillance technologies with
advanced analytics and unparalleled ease of use, the solution is
meeting all expectations. Simple and fast to install, it delivers robust
performance with high image quality, super-intuitive ease-of-use that
requires no specialist expertise, superb operational efficiency and
responsive local support. Highly cost-effective, it also gives River
Island the futureproof capability to integrate new features such as
facial recognition and advanced analytics.
