Monitor worksites through PLDT Watcher

Pilferage, a laggard or abusive staff — these are problems that employers would never want to deal with.

Good thing PLDT SME Nation, ever attuned to the needs of big and small businesses, has come up with a product that helps prevent these from happening. Through the PLDT Watcher, employers can now monitor the goings-on in their offices and worksites. 

The PLDT Watcher is a video monitoring solution that uses an IP camera and bundled viewing software that makes it possible for business owners to keep an eye on their establishments wherever they may be — here in the Philippines or even abroad.

“You can be in Argentina and still know what your employees are doing,” says Kat Luna-Abelarde, PLDT SME Nation VP and head. “This is a good way for business owners to keep an eye on what’s really happening in the office.”

Through a laptop PC connected by DSL or even a 3G phone, they can easily check on their businesses — no matter how many or where they may be located. And the best thing about it is that they can view multiple worksites in just one viewing. This is especially of great help to retail trade establishments, the manufacturing industry, restaurants, hotels and corporate buildings.

The PLDT Watcher includes a motion detector fitted to up to three windows on-site. When activated, these motion detectors prime the system to auto-record video images and even e-mail snapshots.

The PLDT Watcher IP Cam also has a 1/4” Super CMOS sensor, 640 x 480 lens: 4.0 mm, up to 30FPS; a built-in microphone; MPEG4 compression; and 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi that’s 3GP-compliant.

During its test run, a senior businessman was able to get a live feed of the construction site of a project he was commissioned to accomplish on a certain deadline. Viewing the work site, he saw that no workman or supervisor was on-site, despite the fact that they had agreed on a 24-hour workshift.

Thanks to the PLDT Watcher, he was able to immediately talk to the supervisor and workers, thus saving himself a hefty amount that could have been lost.

This is just one example of a business that could have lost millions of pesos because of inefficiency and more could be lost every day because of simple undetected theft, pilferage or employees who are slacking off from work.

The PLDT Watcher banks on the telecommunication giant’s trusted network so users can be given assurance of efficiency and promptness. Its entire system can be deployed rapidly, using proven existing hardware and software.
