Case Study- Improved Security with IQinVision

Danish Condominium Complex Significantly Improves Security with IQinVision

Video surveillance is one of the most important components of the security system that protects and monitors your facility. IQinVision, manufacturer of the IQeye line of HD megapixel IP cameras since 1998, is a world leader in IP network camera products. When Ellemarken Condominiums, located in Køge, Denmark, determined that a new video surveillance system was needed, IQinVision was one of the top resources consulted.

The Ellemarken complex is located in Køge, Denmark, 45 miles southwest of Copenhagen. The facility is comprised of more than 1,125- one, two, three, and four bedroom units. Management sought to improve overall security at the complex- preventing break-ins and theft, reducing graffiti, and primarily preventing unauthorized access to buildings through building stairwell entrances. 

Ellemarken management debated between several leading, well-known IP camera manufacturers. IQinVision came out on top, and was chosen based on: 

• Best Overall Value
• Best Picture Quality
• Best Price
• Best Warranty

To improve safety and reduce vandalism, the condo has now deployed 248 IQeye cameras throughout all its buildings, located in every stairwell entrance. The majority of the cameras are IQeye Alliance-mx models. These cameras record video at a speed of 8 frames per second and are mainly used for post-incident investigation. Camera data is managed by Milestone XProtect Corporate IP video management software (VMS), software specifically designed for large-scale, high-security deployments.

Since the IQeye cameras have been installed, management at Ellemarken has noticed a significant reduction in the number of security incidents; in addition, several crimes have already been solved using recordings.  After witnessing the substantial decrease in number of crimes and other expensive incidents, management is confident their expenditure on the higher quality IQeye cameras will achieve a full return on investment within the next two years.
