by Shane Henson — April 13, 2012—HauteSpot Networks Corporation, an international provider of wireless video surveillance and security solutions, recently announced the deployment of HauteSpot wireless in a Walgreens distribution center.
HauteSpot Networks also announced Firetrol Protection Systems as its newest system integrator. The Dallas-based integrator joined with HauteSpot Networks to design and promote HauteSpot’s security and industrial automation technology. Through this partnership, the two entities expect to assist many other companies such as Walgreens in improving their ability to monitor all areas of their distribution centers in a more safe and cost-effective manner.
The innovative video system was installed in Walgreens’ Dallas, Texas distribution center. The solution used the HauteWRAP, a high-performance wireless router, and the HauteSHOT microNVR, a compact network video recorder. The HauteSHOT microNVR is among the smallest IP (Internet protocol) recording devices on the market, says HauteSpot Networks. It measures 4x4x1 inches, only consumes 8 watts, and operates on 12VDC.
The video system provides Walgreens’ warehouse personnel with a new level of security and efficiency, asserts HauteSpot Networks. The HauteSHOT microNVR allows warehouse employees to safely and remotely monitor the movement of robotic pallet machines within the distribution center using high-definition and real-time video streaming. The operators can determine if malfunctions with the robotic machines warrant manual assistance or can be remotely overridden, thus reducing the number of repair personnel on the warehouse floor and minimizing the liability with machinery.
HauteSpot Networks says that like its HauteSHOT microNVR and HauteWRAP, all of its products are designed on three principles: multifunction, cost effectiveness and a small eco-footprint. High-performance, wireless routing platforms can easily be configured to meet the demanding needs of HD broadcast, surveillance and monitoring, adds the company. In addition, products are cost effective and generally utilize less equipment than other systems, without losing the integrity of the application or video quality.
