IP camera system secures Essex jewellers
By the very nature of their work jewellers will always have to contend with a high theft and robbery risk factor. CCTV is one of the protectionist tools that the industry deploys to safeguard staff and valuables. Bellefontaines’ in Essex, a family run Jewellers since 1946, were experiencing issues with the security camera system they had in place and called in NW Systems to assess the system and advise on improvements.
NW’s system health check concluded that Bellefontaines’ existing video management software, recently installed alongside IP cameras, was not performing adequately. The software was replaced with Milestone Xprotect in order for the owners to better utilise and manage the cameras in operation. Milestone Xprotect software allows the shop’s owners to view their cameras in real-time or review recorded video footage when investigating incidents.
It was also advised that additional Axis HD cameras were installed at the store’s entrance allowing for high definition video to be captured of customers entering and leaving the store. This helps in the clear identification of individuals prior-to or after criminal activity occurs. Camera-integrated infra-red sensors detect motion in total darkness to trigger alarm notifications and switch on LED illumination to capture any untoward activity at night, whilst built-in microphones enable managers to listen as well as see what is happening in the store from home.
Bellefontaines’ are now confident the IP CCTV system meets the high security standards required, with the upgrade delivering high quality footage suitable for identification and prosecution when needed, whilst easy remote access capability provides extra peace of mind to Bellefontaines’ owners.

Streamdays gives viewers a walk on the wild side
Attenborough Nature Centre display their nature reserve live with the help of our stream hosting platform, Streamdays.
In the heart of Nottinghamshire sits Attenborough Nature Centre, an award-winning visitor attraction and education zone. Managed by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, the centre provides a tranquil place in a stunning location for avid nature fans to learn about the surrounding habitat.
Keen to allow visitors to their website a glimpse of the centre’s wildlife inhabitants they contacted us in order to utilise our Streamdays stream hosting service. An IP camera was installed and configured to pan between key views on the reserve, giving nature watchers the chance to see nests or other wildlife wherever possible throughout the year.
Talking about Attenborough Nature Reserve, Sir David Attenborough said:
“Everybody needs to have a lifeline to the natural world, and as our towns and villages become larger, they’re becoming increasingly hard to find. The survival and flourishing of places like this demands continuous work and attention.”
