Loon Fung’s new Stratford
Supermarket gains complete store
coverage with Sony Security Solution
With over 40 years in the industry, Loon Fung have been providing
oriental food to retailers, restaurants and cash and carry customers
throughout London. In its new Stratford shopping centre store,
opened in 2014, Loon Fung have installed a Sony video security
solution to monitor its shop, warehouse and checkout area.
Background
When looking for a new video security solution for its Stratford store,
Loon Fung made it clear that a robust video system was required
which would offer the highest quality surveillance and monitor
every angle of the premises. It was essential that the solution was
discreet and non-obtrusive, but still capable of producing wide
angle shots across the store to provide full coverage.The installation
is a step forward for the wholesaler, which has migrated their video
solution from analogue to IP to future-proof their security system,
making it easier to use, whilst ensuring the safety and surveillance
of the whole store.
Challenges
Retail environments require discreet security solutions, which offer
the best quality images and coverage without intruding on
customers and staff. Loon Fung also had to install a security
solution which integrated seamlessly with the store’s existing
fixtures, but captured activity across the full expanse of the two
storey premises, covering areas including the shop floor, warehouse,
office, kitchen and food production area.
Sony Solution
Sony Clarity and Quality – 30 Full HD and HD Sony cameras were
selected to monitor every aspect of the store, including indoor and
outdoor mini-dome cameras. This included 12x SNC-XM632, 13x SNCEM600, 2x SNC-EM602R, 1x SNC-VM600, 1x SNC-VM602R and also 1x
SNC-HM662, 360-degree hemispheric-view camera.
Results
A fully integrated, easy to operate system has delivered
comprehensive security at Loon Fung. The separate streams by
Sony’s cameras capture high definition recording without the
need for a large powered server on the premises, meaning they
can deliver multiple streams for monitoring whilst simultaneously
carrying out motion detection throughout the premises. The IPELA
ENGINE™ EX signal processing system and Exmor™ CMOS sensor
used in Sony’s cameras mean that the images look clearer,
sharper and more detailed. These technologies work together to
provide easy to review, high quality video content in every lighting
condition, whether in challenging low-light conditions or with
harsh backlighting.
Why Sony Was Selected
Having established a longstanding relationship with Sound and
Safe, an electronic security installation company, through prior
work on other sites, Loon Fung trusted they would deliver not only
the highest quality security solution, but one which would stand
the test of time. Thanks to the depth of Sound and Safe’s industry
expertise and knowledge of Sony’s video security products, the
company was able to deliver a solution which perfectly fitted its
customer’s requirements. This was achieved by implementing a
system which integrated effectively into various parts of the
premises, providing detailed video coverage of the entire site. The
system not only secures the store and its contents, but also futureproofs the supermarket’s investment by delivering full-HD imagery
at a competitive and affordable price.
Quotes
Derek Chan, Loon Fung commented: “When we were looking to
upgrade our security solution, we wanted wide angle imagery
covering every aspect of the store which did not intrude on our
customer’s in store experience. Sound and Safe had recommended
Sony’s cameras from the outset and helped navigate our move
towards an IP-based future. Since installing the solution just over
three months ago, we have been very impressed. The technology
delivers outstanding image quality and brings with it a whole host
of more flexible surveillance options that will support our drive for
reliable 24 hour surveillance”.
Jamie Merry, Sound and Safe says of the solution: “Having worked
with Sony for many years, we remain impressed by the breadth
and quality of its video security solutions which meet the high
standards of a range of applications across various markets. Loon
Fung’s requirement for discretion and multi-area security made the
combination of Sony’s mini-dome cameras the ideal option. We
have been working with Loon Fung across all of their sites, and
Sony technology has been core to delivering the briefs and
migrating the latest future-proofing surveillance systems.’
