The grand shopping centre in Hyllie was completed at the end of 2012.
Emporia is perfectly situated in the southwestern part of Malmö, close to the Malmö
Arena and the City Tunnel station. For one of Scandinavia's largest shopping centres
with an area of approximately 93,000 m², it was crucial that the video surveillance
system should be user-friendly and effective, maintaining highest quality. Kentima's
Ethiris® Video Management Software was selected to fulfill these requirements.
Ethiris is a powerful software application for
video surveillance that monitors the shopping
centre using about 130 cameras. Ethiris is
primarily intended as an aid in the event of
an evacuation situation. Using Ethiris, person-
nel can quickly monitor emergency exits for
example, to ensure that everyone has safely
left the building
One of Ethiris' most-valued functions is
the easy-to-use search function. The emphasis
has always been on it being a user-friendly
surveillance system and that there should be
smart search functions to quickly find video
material related to a specific incident.
"User-friendliness and quality
were important factors in the
choice of surveillance system,"
says Roger Olsson, Property
Manager, Steen & Ström
Sweden AB.
The operators are very satisfied with Ethiris
and perceive the system as user-friendly and
that the functionality has been adapted to suit
their everyday duties. The surveillance system
has several fast and advanced search functions
that save time for the operators.
For video surveillance of the shopping
centre, it is important with good image qual-
ity. It is not enough to have high resolution
cameras if the surveillance system is incapable
of fully utilising the quality of the cameras.
Ethiris can handle all available resolutions
produced by the cameras.
"Ethiris' scalability made it easy
to adapt the functionality to
Emporia's needs," says Magnus
Leonardsson, Project Manager,
Skanska Installation AB.
Skanska Installation, which performed the
installation at Emporia, is also very pleased
with Kentima's surveillance system. Ethiris
is fast, recorded material is quickly loaded
and the capability to simultaneously attain an
overview with many cameras are just some of
the reasons why Skanska Installation recom-
mends and chooses Ethiris.
