Swiss chain Coop protects its stores with Vanderbilt detection solutions

As part of your security and communication solution, retail chain Coop has installed Vanderbilt's SPC hybrid intrusion detection system.

The brand Coop is known in Switzerland for its extensive network of supermarkets, which has in the country more than 2.300 points of sale. However, this group has been growing and what started as a small consumer cooperative is now a business that integrates a retail division and a wholesale/production division that operates throughout Europe..

The group was looking for a security system for its stores to protect certain products such as appliances in its stores., mobile phones, Tablets, perfumes or jewelry. It required a modular alarm system that could transmit reliably with standard alarm reception centers in Switzerland, which presented a rapid alarm detection system and which was certified according to SES EN standards.

To respond to these requirements has installed the hybrid intrusion detection system SPC Vanderbilt that complies with EN standards 50131 and offers great flexibility and scalability.

Being a modular system that can be implemented in stores of different sizes with different security concepts, maintenance has been simplified, as well as employee training. SPC also includes self-monitoring capabilities for Coop security employees.

The SPC Connect app enables you to receive real-time security alerts. After the alarm is activated, you receive a notification on your mobile and then, with IP cameras connected to SPC, the live video stream is verified on the phone to further examine the alert.

This solution saves time and money, but it also provides comfort and peace of mind to the end user. All user interactions via SPC Connect are secured with financial-level SSL security.

Coop has also installed other Vanderbilt detection solutions to protect its establishments including PDM infrared systems with mirror optics, Seismic, of breaking glass and magnetic contacts.

Vanderbilt SPC offers advanced and dedicated intrusion detection features and products for retail applications. Supported by cloud services, end-user applications and a dedicated software package.
