Context

A dense city,
real operational constraints

Strasbourg boasts a retail density unmatched in Alsace: shopping malls, pedestrian streets, historic city-center shops, and corporate headquarters. Each presents a different installation challenge.

On the Grande-Île (a World Heritage site), the installation should be unobtrusive : protected facades, restricted cable routing, permits requiring advance planning. It is not the same type of installation project as in a commercial zone.

Typologies

Four settings, four approaches

We size the system based on your actual configuration, rather than using a flat rate based on the number of cameras.

01 / HISTORIC CENTER

Shops on the Grande-Île

Assets · Discretion

Older premises, protected facades, and shop windows exposed to bright daylight. Compact cameras, discreet cabling routes, and anti-backlight settings: the image must remain usable without compromising the character of the location.

02 / SHOPPING CENTERS

Shopping arcade stores

Rivétoile · Place des Halles

Landlord specifications, mandatory work schedules, and coordination with center security. We regularly operate within these parameters for international brands.

03 / MULTI-SITE

Multi-location retailers

Centralized monitoring

Multiple stores in the area reporting to a single interface, with access rights differentiated by manager. A single point of contact for the entire network.

04 / OFFICE/ADMIN

Offices and seating areas

Access · Compliance

Here, video is linked to access control, and compliance takes precedence: employee notification, consultation with the Social and Economic Committee (CSE) for workforces exceeding 50 people, and the data processing register.

Frequently asked questions

What retailers in Strasbourg ask us

Is authorization required to install cameras in Strasbourg?

Yes, for any area open to the public: authorization is issued by the Bas-Rhin prefecture following an application submitted via the Ministry of the Interior's online portal. Allow several weeks for processing; the authorization is valid for five years. Staff-only areas fall under CNIL regulations and the data processing register.

Can cameras be installed in a shop in the historic center?

Yes, but installation requires more preparation: protecting facades, managing constrained cable routing, and ensuring a discreet appearance. A preliminary site survey identifies mounting points and power supply locations before any work begins.

Do you work in shopping centers?

Yes. These sites generally require work to be carried out outside of opening hours and necessitate coordination with the center's security team—we regularly work under these conditions for international brands.

Can multiple stores be monitored from a single workstation?

Yes. Multiple store locations feed into a single interface, with user-specific access rights, accessible via a desktop workstation or a smartphone.

You are not based in Strasbourg: does this affect your lead times?

No. We are based in Northern Alsace, about thirty kilometers away—a distance that does not affect our response times—and we service the Strasbourg metropolitan area very regularly.

How many cameras are needed for a retail store?

The question is framed incorrectly, and that is the first thing we correct during a site visit. What matters are the specific scenes you need to be able to review: the checkout, the entrance, and the stockroom. Three well-placed cameras are better than eight poorly positioned ones.
