Varifocal lenses from US manufacturer Rainbow CCTV are being used in dome camera units at major Boots stores throughout the UK.  The sites include the company’s flagship operation in Oxford Street, London.

The 3-8mm direct drive Rainbow lenses are operating from Mark Mercer QuickSwitch fixed domes and are used internally.  The client is recording digitally at its large stores and there is ongoing migration to DVRs from analogue equipment.  Monitoring is currently performed on site but the digital equipment has the potential for remote surveillance.

The next Boots store to benefit from the units will be a large branch in the Canada Place shopping mall at Canary Wharf.  The installations are being performed by Certainty Security who specialise in the supply, design, installation and maintenance of electronic security systems.  The company has particular strengths in retail and multi-site environments.
