The Boucheries Nivernaises is a chain of butchers located across Paris. Founded in the 1950s by Jean Bissonnet, the group now has five sites, including the prestigious shop on the Faubourg Saint Honoré. The company deliver across France and even supply meat to the French President, François Hollande.
Requirements
The growth and expansion of Nivernaises has meant
an increased need for security at all of the butcher’s premises. The main
security concerns they faced were theft and damage to equipment, but more
importantly they wanted to protect their employees and guarantee a comfortable
and safe working environment.
Bernard Bissonnet, Managing Director of the group
says: “We have grown significantly, have many more qualified staff and rigorous
procedures, but must continue to provide quality products, delivered on time.
This is what our customers expect and what our reputation is based on.”
The possibility of a breach in security led
Nivernaises to contact EFDI Installers, a subsidiary of the Quallience group. Having
reviewed the requirements and specification, EFDI, in collaboration with ADI global
distribution, suggested an integrated security system.
Solution
The integrated solution included Paxton’s Net2
access control, Axis 360° fisheye cameras and CRYSTAL a centralised Video Management
System (VMS) from NUOO Inc.
Net2 is a user-friendly, flexible networked access
control system, designed to make the management of any site straightforward.
Easy to use and feature rich, it moves beyond the basics of controlling the
flow of people in a building, offering benefits such as building control and
system integration.
Net2 plus is Paxton’s most advanced door control
unit, employing the use of PoE technology to plug straight into an existing
network with no need for additional wiring making installation quick.
The use of CRYSTAL, (an open, distributed,
centralised VMS from NUOO Inc) ensured central management of the system on a
single platform. CRYSTAL collects the video, metadata and alarm activity whilst
ensuring instant reaction and playback in order to interpret and act quickly.
The NUOO-Paxton integration allows the video
management system to receive the user’s credentials every time they present
their Net2 access token. This information is then displayed as an overlay on the
video captured from the 360° fisheye cameras, and stored in the database. This
enables the Nivernaises security manager to retrieve any video simply by entering
a date or a user number into the system.
Result
Installing Net2 has meant that Nivernaises can
centralise the administration and control all of their five sites from one central
PC. With some of the butchers located in the busy city centre, the integration
of Net2 with a VMS has meant that those overseeing security within the business
can now monitor the street in case of any disturbances or potential threats to
security, particularly when the store is closed.
Antoine Guy, Regional Sales Manager of NUUO says:
“Security is often over-looked or seen as an additional cost to a company. It
is worth remembering the positive impact it has to the sustainability, quality
and growth of a company. It is an investment with a very clear return.”
