Major Australian retailer Harvey Norman is upgrading its video security systems with Geutebruck IP technology. Franchisees at around a third of stores in Australia and New Zealand are now enjoying Geutebruck's high quality images and ease of use, and as word spreads others are clamouring for their turn!

With 250 stores trading as ‘Domayne' and ‘Joyce Mayne' as well as 'Harvey Norman', this franchise operation sells electrical, computer and entertainment equipment, furniture and bedding. Franchisees handle their own day-to-day security operations but Harvey Norman supports them with security hardware and high level specialist technical expertise.

When aging DVR and analog systems needed replacement, Geutebruck technology was chosen on a number of criteria. Top of the list was good image quality, but important too was 90-day storage capacity, hybrid operation with existing analog cameras, and easy-to-use client software. - Easy, intuitive operation being particularly significant here because store managers have no specialist skills or knowledge. Last but not least was Geutebruck's reputation for offering the most cost-effective IP systems.
