Michelin-star-awarded Agern restaurant and high-traffic Great Northern Food Hall deploy integrated POS and IP network video, solving unique installation requirements.
Milestone XProtect video management software is meeting the challenging needs of restaurant Agern, and the adjacent Great Northern Food Hall, both found in the landmark Vanderbilt Hall of Grand Central Terminal, New York City.
More than 750,000 people pass through Grand Central Terminal every day. In addition to operating 24/7 and being one of the most visited tourist attractions in the US, the terminal is a historic site with much of its structure over 150 years old. These factors presented challenges for the installation of a new video monitoring and services network.
“In our operations, we serve 4,000 to 5,000 guests a day,” said Jens Baake, Head of Operations, MeyersUSA. “For our business to stay profitable in a space like this, we must have very good systems in place.”
Baake explained that when it came to the video surveillance system for his operations, the key functional requirements include coverage for liability, theft control, and the ability to monitor daily operations with Point of Sale (POS) system integration.
To combine resources and minimize the physical footprint of the installation, systems integrator Chris Kossifos and the CK Technology team deployed a unified IP network to integrate and transport six distinct systems: Milestone XProtect Corporate video surveillance software managing Axis network cameras, MICROS Retail Systems POS terminals and printers, computers that access the internet, WiFi for guests and staff, digital signage and audio. Each service shares the bandwidth of a single network cable to each station, which was important because there was no space to run more.
