When home furnishings retailer IKEA moved forward with its plans to build a new store in Edmonton, Canada, it required a video security system to protect its nearly 300,000-square-foot facility. The system had to work efficiently and seamlessly with other systems, including intrusion alarm, card access, and electronic article surveillance all over IKEA’s internal security network. At the heart of the IKEA system is the Pelco 9740 Video Matrix Switch, digital video recorders and a combination of 96 Spectra III positioning systems, fi xed cameras and Camclosure integrated camera systems. Pelco cameras were mounted on the building’s exterior and interior to view all access to and from the store. Pay points and inventory sites are also under constant surveillance. Head-end equipment and monitoring stations are completely integrated with card access control, enabling the staff to efficiently monitor access to both sales and non-sales areas of the buildings.
