by Rebecca Walker — October 9, 2009—DIGIOP Technologies, with technology provider ObjectVideo, has successfully completed a nationwide deployment of its video management systems for Limited Stores, LLC, an affiliate of Sun Capital and a retailer of women’s apparel with 220 stores.
The project consisted of the installation of DIGIOP’s digital video recorders with intelligent analytics capabilities from ObjectVideo and cameras in stores across the United States.
Although primarily known as a leading manufacturer of video management systems for physical security and surveillance applications, DIGIOP was approached by The Limited with a need for a more accurate customer counting option than what was then being used in stores.
DIGIOP’s digital video recorders, which include video analytics capabilities from ObjectVideo, enable store managers and executives of The Limited to more accurately track the number of customers who visit their stores. ObjectVideo technology delivers full functionality for the detection, classification and tracking of objects, and the outputting of relevant events for a growing number of security, safety and business intelligence applications.
In the initial pilot test prior to deployment, The Limited compared the performance of thermal imaging customer counting capability with DIGIOP’s ObjectVideo-based video analytics option. DIGIOP’s solution provided substantially more accurate counts when compared to the thermal imaging counts, according to the company.
Because the DIGIOP digital video management systems provide both traditional surveillance features of loss prevention and physical security as well as video analytics capabilities from ObjectVideo, The Limited benefits from a more cost-effective solution and a quicker return on investment, says the company.
