When Kevin & Tanny Ponniah began looking at expanding their successful business, In Thais Cafe & Noodle Bar, they were left with the dilemma of “how do we keep an eye on our staff and premises while we’re not there?  Don’t get me wrong, we trust our staff, but we know that when the cat’s away the mouse will play!”  The solution was the Mobotix Q24 camera.
At their Hawthorn store, one 360ocamera installed on the wall and configured to 180o view, was more than enough to cover the entire noodle bar.

At Brighton one camera in the kitchen and one in the restaurant covers the entire premises.  Installing the cameras has given Kevin & Tanny the ability and peace of mind to take a well earned break and still check the cameras if needed.

The first night away, Tanny was able to check in with a simple click of the app on her iPhone.

When asked why they had chosen to invest in the Mobotix Q24 camera instead of upgrading their traditional H.264 cameras, Kevin said;
“The fact that ONE camera was all we needed to cover the entire site was perfect and unobtrusive!” He said, “The functionality of the cameras, like being able to go back three weeks and zoom in on the recorded image was something we’ve never had before.  Usually the quality of the recordings we get from our old system were unreliable.  The quality of the image is fantastic, it’s so clear!  I mean, we’ve already shown them off to our friends, that’s how impressed we are with them. I know there’s still more these cameras can do, we aren’t even using them to their full potential yet.  There isn’t another camera which could give us everything we wanted. Usually you have to compromise when making a purchase…… not with these though.  We got everything we wanted and there’s still more there if we want to unleash these other functions.”

When asked what it was like dealing with PossumIT this is what Kevin had to say;  “PossumIT has offered us excellent service from the word go. They have been so accommodating!  While we were renovating our new site, the PossumIT staff were more than happy to work with and around the tradies who were on site.  As you know, things don’t always run smoothly when doing a reno, but PossumIT were accommodating and help us where ever they could.  In short the support and service has been excellent!”

Kevin & Tanny also use the RedCat POS and Business Management system to manage their stores’ activities.

Web Video The Next Big Thing!

Over the last decade we’ve experienced a radical shift in the way we seek out information and in the way we shop. 10 years ago people were afraid of buying on the internet. Only a minority of people even had an internet connection. And only a very small minority of people communicated by email. What an astonishing difference a decade makes…

The majority of people in the western world are now connected to the internet in some way, and a very good percentage of those have high speed internet…

Nearly everyone you know…young, old and in between…is communicating regularly by email. And nearly everyone you know has now purchased something online using their credit card or paypal or both. The change is even more radical than that…

A huge percentage of the population with disposable income to spend are now:

Searching online for products, services and other information…
Shopping online or making initial inquiries online to the businesses they’re interested in shopping at.
Communicating online in a huge variety of ways. Email is just the tip of the iceberg. Your prospects and customers are using online chat services, voice communication like Skype and MSN messenger and even online web cams to communicate to each other with video.
They’re getting an ever increasing volume of their entertainment and social outlet online with the explosion of online video and social networking sites.

Put simply if you’re not using the internet as part of your business marketing strategy you’re missing a fundamental and vital media AND a vital means of communication.

The internet is increasingly replacing media like newspapers, radio and television AND it’s already becoming a more effective, more economical means of communication than regular mail and the telephone.

Amazing Surveillance Camera Technology Now Available

Possum IT is proud to have achieved certification to sell and install the amazing new Mobotix Hi Resolution software driven camera technology, which can have so many applications, including use as surveillance cameras in either your retail or hospitality outlet.

Have you ever wanted to “keep an eye on things” or just know what’s going on while you are out of the office or on the road? Do you have a problem with money going missing from the till or stock growing legs and walking out the door? Well, now it’s time to put that all behind you and you are able to do this from the comfort of your own home!

These fantastic Hi Resolution software driven cameras are designed to give you access into your business from any internet location at any time of the day. But these aren’t simply cameras for you to view when you get the time, these amazing cameras will keep an eye on things while you are away. For example, if your outlet has a set closing time and the staff are supposed to leave shortly after closing, we are able to program the cameras to send you an alert if they are still hanging around having drinks with their mates or we can program the cameras to tell them to leave by recording YOUR VOICE into the cameras. Or maybe you have unaccounted stock. We are able to place a camera INSIDE your cold room so you can see what’s being taken and by whom. These cameras have been successfully installed in the Antarctic so the chill of your cold room is no threat to these cameras.

Lastly, these cameras have no moving parts, greatly reducing maintenance costs and wear and tear and one camera is potentially able to cover an entire room while allowing you to Pan, Tilt and Zoom on live or recorded images. Because of the high resolution, these cameras will give you clear crisp images while standing up to whatever potential vandals can throw at them. To see a demonstration, watch this video.
