Video surveillance in the trendy Cafe



A certain irony is without the information from a manufacturer of surveillance cameras is not so: "The restaurant is flourishing Lorenzini in Regensburg. An important management and controlling instrument for the operator is a video installation. "






Because the cameras (photo by manufacturer Dallmaier) do not look so chic, you have it easy with a wood-imitation dressed. "A vandal-resistant dome camera and two other ultra-compact mini-dome, called Picodome, provide the necessary overview, especially on POS and bar area and in the adjacent rooms.


And that is even recorded, "With the help of videos, we can analyze, are present on which days and times at which many more guests and schedule staff accordingly," managing director Roberto Lorenzini Pecis says in the message.
