Cheri's Cafe Uses MobileCamViewer, Keeping Workers on Task

Cheri's Cafe, a Caribbean restaurant and entertainment spot on St. Maarten Island, has chosen mobiDEOS Inc. MobileCamViewer for business surveillance and remote video monitoring.

The application has reduced costs for the owner by eliminating unnecessary calls and trips to the restaurant, while integrating with an existing security system.

Cheri's Cafe is a tourist landmark located in the center of Maho on the Dutch side of St. Maarten, offering Caribbean cuisine and nightly entertainment.  Hours run late, with owner and operator Cheri Batson managing a 46-member staff.

Batson travels frequently on business, and when home the long hours of operation make it impossible to be there from open to close.

The large number of customers, entertainers and cafe staff require constant monitoring to ensure the safety of the guests and preserve the cafe atmosphere. 

Batson turned to mobile surveillance to monitor restaurant activity, from ensuring customer safety to keeping workers on task. She estimates that the application has saved approximately 25 hours of travel time and more than $500 in travel-related expenses per month. MobileCamViewer has also eliminated the need to check in with staff by phone while traveling.

The application integrates with a Pelco DX8100 16-channel DVR and multiple Axis cameras, with Batson using MobileCamViewer on her iPhone and iPad while at home or traveling. She also uses the mobiDEOS WebView fixed surveillance solution to view her cameras on her MAC.

"MobileCamViewer has saved me countless hours of commuting and stress, and it is invaluable in the operation of the café,” says Batson.

“I am secure that everything there is going well at all hours of the day and night.  With long hours of operation, many customers, entertainers and staff members, MobileCamViewer allows me to manage and see everything at all times."

MobileCamViewer’s open platform has helped Cheri's Cafe minimize the costs of launching a mobile surveillance system. The application works across all security systems installed in the restaurant.

MobileCamViewer offers secure, reliable carrier-grade cell phone-based video surveillance and remote monitoring solutions, providing “anytime, anywhere” mobile video surveillance for virtually every situation.

Its compatibility across almost all smartphones, tablets, cameras, DVRs, NVRs and video servers — as well as simple integration with PC and MAC-based iOS systems — enables MobileCamViewer to comply with both new and existing network infrastructures.
