As first-time surveillance system users, the owners of Mama’s on the Half Shell installed 14 Avigilon 1 MP and 2 MP cameras to guard the restaurant’s interior and exterior. Seven of those cameras are used to watch the exterior of the premise including the front doors, the alley behind the building and the dumpster. Additional cameras cover areas such as the dining room, bar and kitchen, with focus on areas housing cash registers.
Working from a single work station, the restaurant’s managers use the Avigilon Control Centre (ACC) software with High-Definition Stream Management (HDSM) to monitor the entire restaurant. Mama’s on the Half Shell uses Avigilon HD network video recorders (NVRs) to store up to 30 days of surveillance footage. To address surveillance after dark, Mama’s on the Half Shell uses Avigilon cameras with Adaptive Infrared (IR) technology to acquire optimal image detail in complete darkness. The owners also deployed identical setups in their two other establishments: Nacho Mamas, and The Pizza and Wing Factory.
