National Lutheran Communities & Services Leverages MOBOTIX Cameras to Protect Residents

Business Wire
MOBOTIX Corp., an industry leading provider of high-resolution,
network-based security solutions, today announced that National
Lutheran Communities & Services (NLCS) has deployed 37 MOBOTIX
cameras at the Village at Rockville to deter crime and ensure
safety without sacrificing resident independence.
NLCS installed the cameras, managed by MxControlCenter, to
monitor high-traffic areas including entrances, exits and hallways.
Three cameras are configured for facial recognition to ‘buzz in’
residents and visitors while keeping unwanted guests out. Several
D12 cameras deliver night/day functionality to allow NLCS to
monitor outdoor activity and use PTZ capability to see specific
areas when needed.
NLCS chose to deploy a MOBOTIX system due to the cost
efficiencies delivered by its decentralized approach to
surveillance technology. With this unique concept, each camera
incorporates a high-speed computer and internal flash memory card
to enable all recording and storage to occur within the camera,
reducing the need for a separate PC or DVR. The addition of
MxControlCenter, a professional video management software package
that connects any number of cameras at any location with
centralized or local user-based operation and evaluation, was also
deemed to be an ROI enhancer as it is included free-of-charge.
“The fact that the cameras offer motion detection and PTZ
functionality, and the system doesn’t overwhelm the NLCS network
made the MOBOTIX solution ideal,” said Kim Hartman, CEO,
Surveillance Secure, the systems integrator on the project. “The
system can also be easily expanded upon to meet the company’s plans
for future surveillance growth.”
The MOBOTIX system has become a valuable tool for the retirement
community, which prides itself on being on the cutting edge of
technology. It enables the village to incorporate a workout
facility, a luxury many residents had lobbied for but NLCS couldn’t
provide due to liability concerns.
“The residents always wanted a place to workout,” said Courtney
Malengo, Director of Public Relations, NLCS. “But we were faced
with the challenge of, ‘how do we provide this to allow them to
maintain their independence and health, but also ensure their
safety?’ What if someone slipped and fell on the treadmill, how
would we handle that? With the camera system in place they can
workout at their leisure and we can make sure they’re safe without
interfering.”
“NLCS has created an environment where they can ensure a
high-level of security and provide timely response to emergencies,
while still allowing residents to maintain independence,” said
Steve Gorski, General Manager, Americas, MOBOTIX. “It is exciting
to see our solutions leveraged in such a creative way to improve
quality of life.”
