FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can individual store systems feed the mall control room?

Yes. Tenant cameras can be brought into the mall VMS through agreed interfaces and permissions, so common areas and stores are viewable without breaching tenant privacy rules.

Do you cover car parks and ANPR?

Yes. Multi-level car park coverage, entry and exit ANPR lanes and lighting levels are designed together so plates and incidents are actually usable as evidence.
