As a city of 11,000 residents in the Gard region in France, Vauvert has witnessed an upsurge in night-time thefts and other incidents. In 2007, the city decided to install a video surveillance system to strengthen its security policy.
After defining the areas to be monitored by video surveillance in consultation with the city's police department, a technical study of the project was conducted by the Vauvert City Hall's IT department. After reaching a subsidy agreement with the State (the FIPD, Fonds interministériel de prévention de la délinquance, Interministerial Crime Prevention Fund) and issuing a call for tenders, the video surveillance committee, made up of elected representatives, opted for Axis network cameras.
The seven AXIS 233D Network Dome Cameras installed in Vauvert are a reassuring presence for the city's residents, and serve as a deterrent to troublemakers. The flexibility of the information transfer system, combined with the cameras' ease of installation, convinced the technical departments at the City Hall.
