Axis network cameras for Austria's largest grocery chain SPAR

Axis network cameras for Austria's largest grocery chain SPAR 

Axis Communications has entered into a contract for installation of network
cameras in 750 existing SPAR stores in Austria. The installations have commenced
and shall be completed by summer 2009.

“We are proud that one of Europe's largest grocery chains has chosen Axis
network video products. The retail trade accounts for about a quarter of all the
security installations carried out on the market and is an important customer
segment for us. The installation is a valuable reference in the work of
generating interest for installations of network video products”, says Ray
Mauritsson, President of Axis Communications.


SPAR Österreichische Warenhandels-AG is Austria's largest retail chain with
total sales of SEK 93 billion (2007). Between 10 and 15 cameras of Axis 207 and
Axis 207MW (megapixel wireless) models are being installed in each of the 750
SPAR stores. Axis cameras will be integrated in SPAR's existing infrastructure
and will provide several advanced features through their digital technology. 


“The solution makes it possible for SPAR to conveniently bring together all
components in one system that in addition, may be remotely monitored from
different locations. Updates can be performed centrally in all the 750 stores
and it is possible to keep statistics on the number of customers and purchasing
behavior. This means that SPAR can plan store layout and product exposure”, says
Magnus Ekerot, Regional Manager for Axis in Austria and a number of other
countries. 

The order was placed with Axis Communications' partner S & T, system integrator
and reseller of the SeeTec 5 software.
