Alibi Security Cloud VS Success Story-White Barn Wedding Venue

May 15th, 2020



Like many wedding venues that experience high-traffic from customers, staff, and vendors, White Barn encountered safety liability issues like wet floors, tipsy guests, and trespassers. They needed a security system that would provide 24/7 surveillance and scalability features as they continue to grow their business.  

The Client 

White Barn is a popular wedding venue in Pittsburgh that offers a rustic and unique wedding experience, including Amish inspired décor and access to a lilypond with paddleboats. 

The Challenge 

With so many guests coming and going, their high-traffic ‘hot spots’ were causing security and safety risks: 

  • Kitchen—hot dishes, busy kitchen staff, and wet floors are a dangerous combination – just one slip-and-fall accident can lead to an expensive lawsuit. 
  • Lilypond—this unique amenity is one of White Barn’s biggest perks – but paddle at your own risk! It’s unsupervised during events and popular activity for trespassers after business hours. 

The owners of White Barn didn’t have a surveillance system in place but knew they needed one to keep tabs on their property and oversee guest and staff activity when they were off-premise or working remotely. If trespassers vandalize their property, the owners need data evidence they can remotely view, download, and send to local authorities. With upcoming plans to expand their services (including a Bed & Breakfast), they required a security system that could allow them to install cloud throughout various parts of their property by connecting to a wireless network. 

The Solution 

After considering options from several providers, they chose Alibi Cloud VS because of its ability to scale with their growing business cost-effectively. They installed six cloud-enabled bullet cameras in front of their Barn, inside the dance hall, kitchen, and along their exits —with plans to add another 4-6 cameras after their Bed & Breakfast is built. 

The Outcome 

Since the camera-to-cloud install, White Barn owners now have around-the-clock surveillance. If a trespasser vandalizes their property, they’ll get notified in real-time on their smartphone, which they can then download and send to authorities within minutes. Once their Bed & Breakfast is built, they can easily add more cameras, adjust user permissions, and increase storage retention. With Alibi Cloud VS now in place, owners can protect their assets, guests, and staff with a simple, scalable, and secure solution.

"Steve I just wanted to thank you and your partner Ray Kindsfather for the fine work you men did installing the security cameras around my home. The quality of the pictures is excellent, the clarity in day or infrared mode is exactly what I was looking for. What good is a camera if you can't identify the person and these cameras will greatly assist the police in identifying a perpetrator. The computer side of the job is easy and fast with very little adjustment time for me in finding what I want to see. Software and hardware get A+++++ no doubt about. The Ring is equally easy to use and the quality of the camera is equally strong. The installation was clean and fast. You maintain a clean site, it’s like you were never here. You answered all my questions with pin point accuracy. Integrity suits you well. Your answers were honest and to the point. Refreshing in today’s world. All and all you and Ray make a strong team at DWS Technology LLC. I have no problem recommending you to friend or family, home or business. God bless you both with your business. I will call you for future installations. "

"Ray, in reviewing several different security cameras there were many good products, but none met my criteria of clarity and no long-term contract. Raymond, you showed me one product that caught my attention with the clarity and distance viewing that I could not get with other systems. The zoom after a few feet became distorted with the other systems but with the Alibi NVR package you demoed, we could zoom in and out with clarity which made this product stand out from all the rest. The NVR system is so simple, in fact, anyone can configure the system to suit their needs. You can monitor your home from your smartphone or tablet and having security cameras makes it a great deterrent for criminal activity. DWS Technology delivered as promised! Your installation crew worked clean and treated my home as if it was their own. Great attention to detail! I will recommend DWS Technology to anyone! Great job guys!"
