Case Study: Allied Publishing achieves enhanced personnel safety and prevents vandalism with Milestone Systems

Camsecure system ensures safety of personnel and prevents vandalism for newspaper distribution group

Allied Publishing, the distribution house for newspapers such as The Citizen and The Star, faced repeated incidents of internal harassment and external vandalism at its Booysens and Kramerville depots and found its old analog security system inadequate. The company sought a professional, IT-focused surveillance and access-control solution to protect staff, assets and day-to-day logistics.

Camsecure delivered a full network-based system using HDTV Axis P3344HD cameras, Milestone XProtect recording for bandwidth-efficient streaming and on-demand upscaling, Suprema BioLite Net IP biometric access control, vandal-proof enclosures and steel Bosal cabling, plus secure turnstiles and fencing. The result was remote site management without a central control room, stronger deterrence and tamper resistance, improved monitoring of dispatch and logistics, and a satisfied client following the 2011 installation.
