says Snchez.

The service of Integra2 is focused on providing total customer

satisfaction. The customer should be able to track and locate
his package at any given time. Driven by this philosophy, the
company has installed various high-tech systems and developed
accepting, shipping and delivering goods. In the last two years,
the company has therefore, invested over 300,000 in recording

Simple Integration Into Other Systems

The project also demonstrated how well the MOBOTIX systems
can be integrated into other platforms and software types.
Scati Labs has used a web application to develop customerspecific software that searches for packages according to the
various filter parameters. This software makes it possible to
use a MOBOTIX camera to record a high-resolution digital
video linked to the package.
Part of the project also involved integrating the package sorting
machine in order to monitor the entire shipping process.

MOBOTIX Technology:
Cost Savings In Every Aspect

Since the number of cameras and storage capacity are freely

scalable and any kind of data connection can be used (ISDN,
DSL, Ethernet, Wireless, GSM, copper, optical), MOBOTIX
means high ROI, even years after installing.

Intelligent Storage Technology Uses Fewer DVRs

The new, decentralized storage technology pioneered by
MOBOTIX reduces the number of recorders that store the
smooth high-resolution video by up to 90%. Up to 40 cameras store smooth video streams, including audio on a single
PC, with every camera managing its own ring buffer and image

Low Power Consumption Means Enormous Savings

Since MOBOTIX cameras are anti-fogging, do not require
heating and only use 3 Watts each, power can be injected
into the network cabling using standard PoE products, year

power requirements for backup power.
