Case Study: King’s Subs & Pizza achieves cost-effective HD surveillance and reduced losses with Axis Communications

King’s Subs & Pizza’s uses an AXIS Camera Companion edge storage solution for cost-effective analog replacement

King’s Subs and Pizza, an Andover, MA restaurant, needed a cost‑effective, easy‑to‑use surveillance solution after an attempted break‑in. As a small business with razor‑thin margins and limited tech experience, owner Dave Young wanted higher‑quality video and flexible installation that fit his budget. He selected Axis Communications’ IP approach, deploying five 720p AXIS M10 Series Network Cameras with in‑camera edge storage and AXIS Camera Companion software.

Axis Communications implemented the five cameras recording to internal SD cards so the AXIS Camera Companion software provides a self‑contained system (no DVR or PC required) with smartphone access. The installation delivers reliable 24/7 security and measurable operational benefits: Young can monitor cash‑register transactions, investigate discrepancies (one incident showed a legitimate refund reversal), track ingredient waste like overuse of premium steak, and ultimately improve the bottom line while avoiding DVR costs and maintenance.
