Case Study: Spinderiet Shopping Center reduces theft and vandalism with Milestone Systems' XProtect IP video solution

Danish shopping center spins a strong web of security

Spinderiet is a large mixed-use complex in Valby, Copenhagen (55,000 m² with 50 stores, offices and apartments) that opened in 2007 and sees thousands of visitors daily. Located in a busy neighborhood, the center faced challenges with theft, vandalism and rowdy youth, plus the operational need to monitor entrances, parking areas and common spaces efficiently.

Spinderiet deployed almost 50 Panasonic megapixel network cameras in vandal-proof housings connected to Milestone XProtect Enterprise, installed and supported by JCA Sikring. The IP system (with features like auto-backfocus and SD backup) provided centralized, remote-managed surveillance, cutting hardware and cabling needs versus analog, improving daily operations and evidence sharing with police, and producing a noticeable drop in thefts, vandalism and disruptive behavior.
