The Midwest-based convenience store chain, Kwik Trip, needs to protect itself against the same threats as many of its C-store competitors.
The Midwest-based convenience store chain, Kwik Trip, needs to protect itself against the same threats as many of its C-store competitors. But, in addition, Kwik Trip also manages its own bakery, commissary, dairy, and warehouse — producing, packing and shipping a wide variety of goods for all its stores 365 days a year. At the store level, the company wanted to install a high-resolution video surveillance system to help protect its thousands of employees and millions of customers, minimize theft and mitigate insurance claims. At the corporate level, they wanted to tighten quality control over food preparation, storage and distribution, as well as improve safety and security across its facilities.
Hunter Security & Surveillance Systems, a Greenville, Wisc.-based integrator and Axis partner, devised a cost-saving hybrid strategy that augmented the corporation’s existing analog cameras with Axis P3301 Fixed Dome Network Cameras in high risk areas of its retail stores and outdoor Axis P1343-E Network Cameras at its car washes. Hunter also deployed a full-IP strategy at the various corporate operations centers using a mixed-array of high resolution Axis fixed and PTZ network cameras running under the management of exacqVision video management system (VMS) software.
