Mobotix brings Dunkin' to the Cloud
The local storage of video data became increasingly complex - both in terms of data protection regulations and the management of access rights. The operation of local storage systems was proving particularly difficult in shopping centers. The solution: a gradual migration from local NAS storage to the data protection-compliant Mobotix Cloud.
DFNBG Gastro, the operator of 48 Dunkin' branches and other catering establishments in Germany, has migrated to the Mobotix Cloud for the central management of its video surveillance. DFNBG have partnered with Mobotix Diamond Partner Valeo IT Neteye for more than ten years, who have implemented and continuously optimized secure and efficient video solutions in the 48 Dunkin' branches. The demands on the existing video management system increased due to the strong growth of DFNBG.
The video surveillance-as-a-service (VSaaS) offering allows users to conveniently control their cameras via a free app. The recorded videos are stored in highly available and cyber-secure data centers located close to the user. This ensures data protection-compliant storage in accordance with the GDPR.
A key advantage of the Mobotix Cloud is the combination of intelligent camera technology and a powerful cloud platform. The cameras analyze events on site and only transfer relevant data to the cloud. This minimizes bandwidth requirements while maintaining the highest security standards. Communication between the cameras and the cloud takes place via the Mobotix Bridge, a highly secure connection unit that ensures protected data transmission. The cloud solution also eliminates the need to operate separate server rooms with high security standards on site - a clear advantage for branches in shopping centers or high-traffic locations.
Cloud data is managed directly by the users themselves. This means that companies such as DFNBG can control their access rights centrally without having to create individual solutions for each branch. “It was clear to us that the system is secure – and also cyber-secure - and exceeds our requirements. But the central management of all access rights really saves us time and money,” says Harry Taubert, Construction and Development Manager at DFNBG. Around half of the Dunkin' branches have already been converted to the cloud solution, and the remaining locations will follow successively.
