Leading UK electronics wholesaler seeks CCTV security solutions from Samsung Techwin

Samsung Techwin provides HB Litherland with CCTV upgrade

Blackpool based distributor HB Litherland has recently upgraded its CCTV system with a solution sourced entirely from Samsung Techwin's range of professional security products.

With a warehouse that covers 42,000 sq ft and houses millions of pounds of high value products from a large number of well known manufacturers it is not surprising that HB Litherland, one of the UK's leading wholesalers of electronic products, has installed the very latest CCTV technology to protect stored goods and to create a safe and secure working environment for its staff.

HB Litherland supplies a range of consumer and professional products, including CCTV equipment from a dedicated security division, to over 25,000 clients across the UK. So when it came to choosing a brand that offers an exceptional quality of product backed by class-leading support the company turned to Samsung Techwin's range of security products. "We wanted to get the very best out of our investment in CCTV and by purchasing a complete solution from one manufacturer we felt we would avoid potential compatibility issues which might affect the overall performance of the system," said Tony Lord, CCTV Technical Manager for HB Litherland.

"We recommend Samsung Techwin CCTV products everyday of the week to our customers and have always had positive feedback on the performance and quality of the equipment. It was therefore a logical and easy decision for us to use Samsung Techwin cameras throughout our facility and to record the images captured by the cameras on a Samsung Techwin digital video recorder," he added.

Fifteen Samsung Techwin cameras collectively monitor all activity at HB Litherland's reception; trade counter, goods in/out and warehouse aisles. The recorded video is stored on a Samsung Techwin SVR-1680 sixteen channel DVR, which has the capability to record real-time D1 resolution images simultaneously across all channels. Tony commented: "We worked closely with Samsung Techwin to ensure that we selected the right camera model for each location and this has resulted in us having a CCTV system which ensures that if there ever is an incident, we will be able to pass first class video evidence onto the Police."

Commenting on the project, Simon Shawley, Samsung Techwin's senior sales manager for the UK and Eire said: "It's a massive testament to the quality of Samsung Techwin products when a company who is involved in the supply of security equipment, such as HB Litherland, is prepared to reinforce their decision to recommend our CCTV solutions to their customers by using our products to protect their own premises."
