Case Study: Barnes & Noble College Achieves Reliable Campus Bookstore Security with March Networks

Phenomenal Partnerships and Product Reliability

Barnes & Noble College, a major campus bookstore operator with nearly 800 locations, needed a reliable and easy-to-use enterprise video surveillance system. Their challenge was to manage security across a diverse portfolio of stores and provide both their loss prevention team and store managers with simple access to video. They also sought a strong partnership with their vendor, March Networks, for ongoing support and training.

The solution implemented by March Networks, initially recommended by integrator NAVCO, included their 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs and Command Enterprise video management software. This provided a robust platform supporting both analog and IP cameras with centralized control and customizable user permissions. The results included phenomenal system reliability, a significant reduction in shrink, the ability to deter fraud, and the provision of valuable analytics. The partnership with March Networks delivered outstanding responsiveness and training support, giving both managers and customers greater peace of mind.
