As part of the wider evolution of the region’s blossoming retail sector, Canon Middle East believes that the time is ripe for local businesses to tap the huge potential of Video Management Solutions (VMS) to drive retail analytics; a multi-million-dollar industry being opened up by companies adding extra capabilities to their traditional surveillance solutions.
Canon previewed the future of in-store video solutions as part of last week’s Retail Show 2016
“With the growing power of online retailers in particular, brick and mortar stores need to adapt to keep up with the competition, and retail analytics are a key part of this. These online retailers have staggering amounts of information on their customers, which many physical stores simply don’t have. Once companies are aware of how business processes can be improved through video management solutions, they can build up their surveillance systems over time, when they’ve seen for themselves the value of the solution.” said Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director, Canon Middle East, Central and North Africa.
Canon also unveiled two new low-light network surveillance cameras; the indoor pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) VB-M50B and the indoor fixed dome VB-H651V. Both the cameras include new features that help to ensure high quality images, even in challenging low-light conditions.
Canon Middle also revealed new capabilities in integrating its physical cameras with the very latest video management software such as Netavis and Titan to meet the retail industry’s ever-growing security and surveillance requirements.
