Case Study: AxizWorkgroup achieves enhanced safety and crystal-clear IP surveillance with Milestone Systems

AxizWorkgroup puts safety first with IP video surveillance

AxizWorkgroup, a leading IT infrastructure distributor in Johannesburg, faced serious security challenges after a robbery revealed that its outdated CCTV system produced unusable, grainy footage. Management sought a high‑quality, proactive surveillance solution to protect staff, customers and high‑value stock and to enable reliable identification of perpetrators.

They replaced analog cameras with an Axis IP‑based system delivered by The Surveillance Factory and integrated with Milestone XProtect, deploying HDTV megapixel fixed and PTZ Axis cameras (including AXIS Q1755, P3344‑VE and P5534), H.264 compression, remote I/O gate control and an AXIS T8310 control board. The upgrade provides clear, real‑time monitoring, automated perimeter response and centralized management; it has reduced criminal activity, improved people management, health & safety and productivity, and delivered measurable financial and operational benefits.
