Y-cam shakes up security for a growing high street chain

Y-cam Solutions Ltd, has provided a system of network video cameras to ShakeTastic, a UK high street milkshake and juice bar chain.

Richmond, London - Tuesday 19th July, 2011 -- Y-cam Solutions Ltd, the UK’s leading provider of affordable and easy-to-use remote monitoring products for residential and small-to-medium sized businesses, has provided a system of network video cameras to ShakeTastic, a UK high street milkshake and juice bar chain, to provide security, improve costs and ensure a consistent high standard of service.

A rapidly expanding high-street brand, ShakeTastic delivers high quality bespoke beverages throughout a number of retail stores located across London. In order to maintain their current excellent standard of service and continued efforts to provide a safe and secure work environment, CEO Josh Kettle made a commitment to find a flexible monitoring solution that provided 24/7 security and remote access.

Installation across the ShakeTastic chain consists of multiple Y-cam Black SD IP cameras, with more scheduled to be installed - including an opening into the world’s largest toy store, Hamleys, on London’s Regent Street. The high quality internet cameras allow Josh to monitor all his stores from one location or on the move, letting him provide a safe and efficient environment for his business to grow.

“We installed the cameras after a personalised number plate was stolen from one of the company vehicles. We were so impressed by the high quality video and features available, we realised the full potential of such a system could be a huge benefit within all of our ShakeTastic store.” explains Josh Kettle, CEO of ShakeTastic. “The Y-cam system gives me great reassurance, as I receive security alerts out-of-hours from any of the stores, plus the ability to view live video remotely from wherever I might be; therefore I am always sure of the safety of my staff and customers during business hours.”

A Y-cam security system compiles high quality monitoring and a wealth of powerful features tailor-made for business owners - including indoor and outdoor models, night vision capabilities, motion detection alerts, ability to view on mobile phones, and they operate without the need for a PC or Mac to be left on permanently. Y-cam cameras can be used independently, and deployed in stages, plus some models support on-camera recording via microSD memory card negating any additional equipment. As a bonus, Y-cam cameras can connect to virtually any NAS drive via Y-cam’s unique NAS-Ready™ feature.

“It’s great to be able to view all five stores at the same time from the office or from my iPhone. To me, this is one of the reasons why I can't praise this system enough; it’s great knowing that I can look into the shops at anytime, on the move, in the office, from my house... It’s perfect! I'll never open another store without a Y-cam again”.

ShakeTastic now has a high quality, flexible and easy-to-use security system that has also provided unforeseen business benefits for the owner. Josh now enjoys peace of mind knowing that he will be instantly alerted to any theft or vandalism to one of his shops around the clock.
