CHALLENGE

Paraguay’s leading chain of local supermarkets has more than 2,000 employees and more than 150 stores located at strategic points in Asunción and Greater Asunción. In addition, it offers a wide variety of products, at very competitive prices and in a 24-hour format, 365 days a year.

Its main objective focuses on protecting each and every one of its retail stores by identifying the most frequent thieves at the entrance, restricting their entry and reducing thefts. To this end, this supermarket is committed to a centralized alert system and the implementation of facial recognition technology in its stores.

SOLUTION

Facial recognition cameras are installed at the entrances of each of the premises, providing high resolution images (up to 4 Mpx) and under any lighting conditions thanks to their built-in infrared illumination up to 60 meters.

The system allows you to create black and white lists, update and manage databases centrally, and integrates with Point-of-Sale Terminals (POS).

Upon identification of a habitual burglar, security officers receive an automatic alarm with the associated image or video. On the other hand, managers can also locate any person in a matter of seconds through advanced search filters (faces, names, IDs, etc.) or reference images.

The images are processed by SCATI RECKON, SCATI’s Business Intelligence software. This software transforms data into useful information, and allows the creation of graphs and balanced scorecards in a simplified way, displaying that information in an organized manner to people who need to interpret it and make decisions based on it.

This is the ideal software to meet the customer’s needs, since it can classify useful information and differentiate between the different types of people accessing the establishment, thus distinguishing between wanted and unwanted people.

Local storage of these images is done through SCATI VISION N400 recording servers capable of managing up to 3 megapixel cameras. These platforms feature a highly compact form factor and have an efficient heat dissipation design.

BENEFITS

The installation of this innovative solution positions this supermarket chain as one of the most secure stores, offering its customers the best shopping experience.

Thanks to the installation of these video surveillance systems directly connected to the point-of-sale terminals, the supermarket chain has managed to prevent each and every one of the robberies carried out by habitual thieves, so we are talking about 100% effectiveness.

The installation of facial recognition systems in the retail chain opens up a world of possibilities, both for security and for the operation of a business, since other departments of the company cansegment your customer profile by gender and age for commercial purposes and to control the access of its employees and visitors. Todo ello cumpliendo la normativa vigente sobre protección de datos.

“This project enables the supermarket chain to offer a good and safe shopping experience to its customers. It also positions SCATI technology as a benchmark in the retail sector in Paraguay,” he says. Javier Larrodé, SCATI Branch Manager in Brazil.

SCATI is a company specialized in adapting its solutions to the needs of its customers and has been able to understand the needs of this supermarket chain to offer them a solution to solve their theft problems.

New ThermalScan series of the SCATI EYE range

360º vision of large areas without blind spots

SCATI, manufacturer of intelligent video solutions, completes its video surveillance proposal with the addition of a new line of ThermalScan cameras to protect large geographic areas or areas with irregular or undefined perimeters such as natural land and sea areas, critical infrastructures, etc.

ThermalScan cameras detect, recognize and track an unlimited number of targets (people, ships, vehicles, etc.) automatically, over long distances and in the most adverse weather conditions and in total darkness, providing high-resolution images.

A camera of these characteristics is capable of replacing hundreds of conventional cameras, simplifying and minimizing the installation and maintenance costs of the system.

Thanks to their high image capture speed (360º/2 sec.) and the use of advanced optical image stabilization technology, these cameras cover surfaces of several kilometers in distance without leaving blind spots, which facilitates the continuous monitoring of large distances and also minimizes false alarms due to the high data update frequency.

The range of SCATI ThermalScande cameras depends on the size of the lens or focal length, the resolution or its location. The shorter the focal length, the larger the field of view. The higher the resolution, the sharper the images will be. The fewer obstacles between the camera and the object of interest, the better the chances of capturing it in images.

For this reason, and depending on the distance of the area to be monitored, SCATI offers two ranges of cameras with different optics.

Mini Range

The Mini range of thermal radar cameras is ideal for monitoring areas up to 1.5 km away: perimeter around the airport, prison, etc.

Periscope Range

The Periscope Range is most suitable in wide area scenarios such as border and coastal surveillance where the objects of interest are at greater distances.

For the protection of the areas closest to the premises to be protected, the thermal radar cameras can have associated SCATI EYE PTZ Domes, with images already in the visible spectrum, which will automatically position themselves at those points where the intrusion is detected, with the aim of being able to identify the object or person that generated the alert.
These cameras meet the most demanding needs and have multiple applications:

Border protection: Maintaining territorial integrity, preventing illegal immigration, drug smuggling, etc.
Ports and Airports: External threat detection, fire detection, etc.
Coastal and maritime surveillance: infrastructure protection, detection of boardings of docked ships, drug smuggling or attacks.
Critical infrastructures and utilities: Full 24×7 protection
Nature reserves: Detection of intruders, poachers, illegal harvesting, fires.
