Circle Mall Ushers in a New Era of Retail Security with Wavestore

Circle Mall, another of Nakheel's masterpieces, redefines security standards with Wavestore's cutting-edge solutions.

Circle Mall isn't just a mall—it's a testament to the evolving landscape of community-centric retail in the UAE. As the doors opened in April 2021, it promised not just shopping, but experiences that families and friends would cherish. In a space bustling with excitement, laughter, and countless interactions, the need for a vigilant eye to oversee and ensure the well-being of every individual was evident. This commitment to safety and security was a cornerstone even as the first brick of the mall was laid.

Situation

Recently opened in April 2021, The Circle Mall is the latest community mall by developer Nakheel, providing a family-friendly shopping experience for locals. Comprising of retailers, food vendors and entertainment brands, it required a flexible solution that can provide each store, and the connecting areas, with unrivalled security. From ensuring each customer is safe to allowing businesses to stay within covid-related guidelines, an integrated video management system was needed to be fitted during the new build.

Solution

Incorporating 500 Hikvision cameras, which generated a constant stream of high-quality video data, the Wavestore solution was also able to integrate into Hikvision’s IPSAN storage and a Dell/EMC server. This ability to seamlessly bring together a number of technologies allows management and security personnel to meet requirements without compromising on safety. Cause and effect actions can be programmed to automatically respond to evolving events. Further adding to the capabilities, features such as EcoStore can save over 80% of the energy used by storage.

Success

The success of The Circle Mall's security system, powered by Wavestore's cutting-edge solutions, is evident in its multifaceted capabilities. The system's comprehensive integration capabilities extend to various connected devices and sub-systems, enhancing its overall functionality. Moreover, the inclusion of EcoStore exemplifies the system's commitment to energy efficiency, saving up to 80% of hard drive energy. In essence, The Circle Mall's security system not only meets safety requirements but also operates at the forefront of technological innovation and sustainability.
