The Client

Located in Austin, Texas, Healthworks Ergonomics offers local business on-site or at-home ergonomics training, evaluations, and at-risk assessments so employees can feel their best at work.

The Challenge

Healthworks is located in the heart of South Austin’s busiest area, and although they had an on-premise security system, several issues needed to be addressed to increase the overall safety and security of their facility:

•Ongoing, out-of-pocket expenses. Over a year ago, Healthworks installed an on-premise system. A faulty hard drive, unforeseen maintenance costs, and multiple vandalism episodes to their recorder have cost the owners over $1,500 in out-of-pocket expenses since its inception.

•Acts of vandalism/theft. Within the last 15 months, Healthworks had encountered multiple break-ins to their single-location business – most occurring after hours, at night. Because their low-resolution cameras could not capture the intruder’s identity, and they weren’t set up with real-time notifications or alerts, the owners couldn’t contact the authorities. The direct costs of replacing their recorder and stolen equipment, along with indirect costs of downtime while waiting for their hardware replacement and interrupted footage, were costing them unforeseen expenses their budget didn’t allow for. Their most recent break-in prompted them to seek out a more reliable and modern solution.

The Solution

After considering several options, they decided on a cloud video security platform because of its scalable and cost-effective solutions. They installed eight 4.0-Megapixelcloud cameras with built-in starlight technology and high-definition video. They placed four cameras outside, providing the owners with 24/7 advanced nighttime surveillance to see clear, sharp images up to 120' in the dark.

The Outcome

When intruders come on their property, the system's advanced analytics, which includes intrusion detection and face recognition, notify the owners immediately by an instant alert on their smartphone – which they can then send to authorities by date and time. Additionally, the cameras include Starlight chipsets, allowing them to capture full-color video at night using the neighborhood's ambient light. As Healthworks Ergonomics expands from a single to multi-site business, their cloud solution offers flexible scalability features allowing them to increase their storage, cameras, and user permissions on demand. Cloud is the ideal security application, providing them with the technology, support, and scalability they
