Comet has one manager and Miss Baker is manager of the company and she decided to get a second manager because she is sometimes busy with other stuff so she is trying to get a second manager who will be below her level of Manager in a bit so he or she will be able to be in charge while she is not there.
Employer’s staff can be from different nationalities and most staff is British and is from the United Kingdom due to being a British curriculum company. The employs staff each one of them have their own work spot to work on example there is a employs who head of the main entre where you buy the electricity stuff his job is to make sure the other workers have a great attitude with the customers and give them the best help and offer them the best offers they have, most employers have finished college and have came here to work but there is a few people who have got degree in ICT and they are working here to achieve their goal so they can get some working experience and find a better job. Comet expanded in a very decent way from the past from the small start it has now over 100 employers and around 30 drivers. Comet has also a very good name to represent who they are. There is little stuff that would be needed to make sure the company run without any problems.
Aims & objectives
Comet is amazing organisation it has its own hope to meet the goals and objectives of their aims, and improve their objectives while reaching their aims

-
objectives can be met with the current resources available to the business, as long as it can make the customers happy with the resources
4.How does ICT HELP the Comet organisation to achieve their aims and objectives?
The following section of ICT is used to help the Comet organisation achieve their aims through the Aims and the Objectives.
Each organisation has its own main aims. The aims of the organisation can identify its identity and make different it from other similar organisations. Example if of you take 2 organisations and compare them and check which once that aim for lower cost and the other for higher cost , limited choice, reasonable quality. Another might aim for wide choice and excellent quality.
when the customer comes up to the employee and ask him questions about the product or anything that the customers wants to ask then the employee has to show a nice attitude with a very decent smile so he can help the customer with what he wants and to understand what the customer wants and tries to help out .
As a company having huge stock and very a lot of customers with many regular customers who has registered in this company, as a company you would always have a website, in this website you can buy and order products delivery. To make sure the customer be happy with his delivery then the company would need to have drivers and vans to deliver the products as fast as possible to that customer address, when the customer makes the order through the internet on the company’s system that absorbs the order and then put it under the person’s name and it will be sent the next day.
Comet also aims to offer the UK's largest range of products, with the UK's lowest prices, backed by expert and professional service, by this I mean comet does sell huge amount of products of same type or different type for lower prices but that only when you buy a huge amount of the products, example smaller company’s might want some laptops for their organisation then they will order from comet and they will receive them with lower cost.
Comet always wanted the prices they have for the products to be suitable for the customers so they will get more customers to buy their products and get more regular customers, comet checks what other stores has for prices for that product and try decrease it a bit down so they will get more customers who wants to buy the product.
Comet Organisation
Data handling Needs
Comet uses ICT to store data about electricity products so that in order to keep tracking the products and check if they run out of an item and that the system would tell them and in this way it keeps it organized.
Organisation uses system to enter all their employees’ details, having a huge company would cost a lot of stuff to be done and data handling would be essential to keep all the information organized.
The purpose of having this system is to help us and improve the Sells and improves better communication with the employees.
The data the system handles is
- Brands
- Details of the product
- Customer Details
- Price
- billing
All this information get collected instant by the employee from the customer if he buys a product and if it an Product that’s has to be bought from the company then it would be gathered from the company that made the product through the ICT system to the manager to get the full information about the product.
Once this information has been entered it will go through to the system and be stored there and the once who can access it is the manager and the one who has access to the stored products, only certain people will be able to access to certain files/documents because of the administration if your just a normal employee who just start then you won’t be able to get access to it because your just a normal employee there.
Reason for this access is because the data that can be stolen by different people according to different position of access, or lost data that an employee loses it.
6.Price
Data handling for the Price of the product in this system that allows you to access the files and documents that has been entered the prices and the names of the product. Every time you want to sell the product to the customer on the screen once you scan the product it will tell you the price of the product because it has been entered by a employee which is his job to do, the employee who enters all the details of a product into the system has the one who has a list of the prices of the products that allows him to enter the correct price for the product and the rest of the details of the product.
A series of vertical bars and half bars representing the ZIP Code printed underneath the address on a mail piece. The barcode facilitates automated processing by optical character reader equipment, Barcode is the a code that the scanner reads it and show the fully data about this product where it’s from and what’s the current price of it and how many they have left because once you scan the product the barcode is a code that shows the fully details of the product and if they have more in stock or if they are out of them.
Customer Details has been stored into this database system which keeps all the details of the customers that has been entered into it and every time you want to contact this person about this product or offers then all you have to do is search his name and then you will be able to see all his contact details address and the phone number and the postcode and if he is a regular customer.
Brands that the company has is mostly the most once that customers like and the regular customers that they always buy the same brand but different type of product.
billing is a way of payment that the comet does other then pay cash, this payment most happens online or when you go shopping, when you go to the store and buy a lot of stuff and you decide to pay by card because you don’t like to carry cash with you then this payment will make it a lot easier for you because all you will have to do is swipe it on the card reader and then the company will receive all your details address and name and telephone number and etc.. At the end of the month you will receive a billing paper that says what you have bought and for how much and when and where at and full detailed statement.
Report about the employee
The data handling absorbs reports about the employee and when he worked and who did he helps out though buying an product, when the employee comes to the store he will have to do scan his ID Card on the ID Swipe Scanner Reader and then all those details and time date will go entered automatically into the database.
7.Effects of ICT on working style in Comet
Information technologies uses computers and computer based software’s to convert, process, and store and transmit information. In most parts of the Store, It was soon or later understood that application of information technology was very useful for most of the subjects. When internet and broadband connections reached the store the understanding and application of IT became even simpler.
Information system and technology provide various channels to communication like E-mail, Instant messages, SMS servers, etc to all employees at any time all over the store. This type of software helps to saving time and makes it easier for the employees. Of the company
Software are very important for a company for instant Information of stocks, valuation, sales, purchases, and service.
ICT has had a big impact on the way they communicate in the store everyday. It has effected how the majority of time and cost that would be wasted and special the people who work at comet now communicates through the, SMS, chat and digital voice and using mobile phones that works at comet only by simple able to speak with any employee by saying his name and like a code, Because of ICT and these communication devices it is now possible to keep in touch with employees anywhere in the store or if they going for lunch easy inviting a friend who works there as well.
ICT and the new technology that is out now it has changed my life a lot and very much because at the store I got so many ways to communicate with anyone through the ICT Devices and by using the mobile phone example SMS which is one of the fastest way to communicate through to the employees,
8.The Samsung High Resolution CCTV Camera 600TVL Varifocal
This CCTV resolution Camera is owned by a company called Samsung which is worldwide known company as creating electricity items example as CCTV or phones or TV’s. Samsung is owned by the South Koreans it’s a company that was build up back in 1987, and the owner of this company is Lee Kun-hee and the employees that work for him in that company they all have different ideas of making electricity items.
The SCO-2120R from Samsung features the W-V DSP chipset to deliver advanced functionality such as 600TVL resolution, coaxial control compatibility, Samsung Super Dynamic Range (SSDR) and third generation Samsung Super Noise Reduction (SSNRIII), which eliminates image noise in low light conditions without creating motion blur or ghosting.
Samsung CCTV Camera has been used by this store for couple of years and it has been monitoring the store in very decent way and kept the thief’s away from this store and capturing the thief’s in the store
The video cameras used for CCTV usually do not look anything like the video cameras you typically see at your local electronics store. They are becoming smaller and more specialized for their security purposes. A standard CCTV camera might be in the Samsung of 4 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide with a lens on the end, or smaller.
9. 1 previous systems
The previous systems they used to have wasn’t that great as they have now because back in few years time they used to have CCTV Camera but wasn’t that really decent to capture the person who enters the store or try’s to take something from the store and try’s get along with it without the security people catch him.
And you couldn’t just go up to any customer and start searching him because that’s like ruining the store by saying to the customers we don’t want you in this store and back in few years you couldn’t go up to anyone and start searching him because you just can’t be sure he took something and that is very patathic way of searching a person.
After couple of years the ICT sciences developed the CCTV Camera and they used it for the store but it couldn’t be perfect as it is now because the graphic of it would be ridiculous and the display was first in black and white which wasn’t that great of identifying any person or customer who would be seen in the display.
- New Way of how System works
CCTV, which refers to an observation system using cameras that send their signals back to a specific location. These video images can be monitored live, or stored for viewing later. CCTV systems are most often used to monitor stores, Comets, and public buildings, etc. However, with the technology becoming more and more affordable, and easier to use, many people are actually installing CCTV cameras in their stores and businesses for added security.
Many large stores use a combination of security personnel and a CCTV system to combat shoplifting. Smaller businesses, with smaller budgets for security, may have only one CCTV camera installed in a prominent place so that shoppers know they are being watched. A retailer can review the tapes on a VCR later, or observe any shoppers that are behaving suspiciously and note the vulnerable areas in the store. The only problem with recording and watching later is that some shoplifters will get away with stealing. On the other hand, the system still has merit because it allows for the recognition of repeat offenders.
In larger stores, the CCTV cameras are often less visible. They can have high-resolution digital cameras that may be mounted in smoke detectors, sprinkler heads, thermostats or clocks. It is also very popular to mount these cameras in ceiling tile domes they are bubble like and tinted so no one can see where the camera is pointed. From this vantage point, a pan tilt zoom camera can swing about and follow someone around the store.
There are a few different types of CCTV systems available such as analogy or digital, wired or wireless. The Cameras that’s been used to operate them may vary, but the basic components are pretty much the same. A CCTV system will include a camera, a lens, a monitor, and cables that carry the signal from one place to another for the systems. Many systems also use some form of video recorders to record the video footage.
The camera captures up the signal from the area being monitored using the lens. The lens used determines how far and how wide of an angle the camera can see. If the system is wired, the camera then sends the signals through a cable to the monitor, and or the recording device. If it is a wireless system, then the camera simply broadcasts the signal straight to the monitor itself.
The monitor used is often just a simple television set often just a black and white set, but increasingly a PC or laptop is used. Most of the wired analogy systems will use the simple television monitors, while digital and wireless systems are more likely to use computers as the monitors. By setting it up on a computer, you can actually see the images from anywhere using the internet. I manage to get a picture from the outside of the store CCTV Camera figure 2
9.3 Current report system CCTV Samsung
The camera captures up the signal from the area being monitored using the lens. The lens used determines how far and how wide of an angle the camera can see. If the system is wired, the camera then sends the signals through a cable to the monitor, and or the recording device. If it is a wireless system, then the camera simply broadcasts the signal straight to the monitor itself.
What it does?
CCTV records all the footage movements that the camera can see and if it sees someone suspicions then it will keep following him through the Infra-red heat of a human and it will record everything that is front of the camera or the scale the camera can see through the window which allows it to record the whole thing it can be recorded.
How it does it?
The way it does the recording is through the system the camera has been installed to a system that is in the security room.
The camera captures up the signal from the area being monitored using the lens. The lens used determines how far and how wide of an angle the camera can see. If the system is wired, the camera then sends the signals through a cable to the monitor, and or the recording device. If it is a wireless system, then the camera simply broadcasts the signal straight to the monitor itself.
Who is in control
The person who’s in the control is the one who sits at the security room because his one who meant to be monitoring all the screens there are in the security room. It’s his job to look after the store any time specially where there is a lot of customers example a busy day at the store will have a lot of people and then there can be a lot of kids or men or any kind who will take something and try get away with it, but that won’t happen because of the CCTV camera.
The input of this system is that it records footage of the store 24/7 nonstop and it would be checked by the security guards in the room, and every single footage that would be recorded it would be into picture and will be dropped into a folder that is called (SECURITY PICTURES) and all those footage is saved from the start of the organisation tills now. And everything that has to do with the CCTV Camera data will go into that system and be saved.
The process will assess ALL requests for CCTV, weighing all relevant (just in case) factors including incidence of crime, anti-social behaviour, and technical considerations and funding availability.
The output of this is that it sends all the information into the system to be saved at the time it’s started recorded tills now and from now on tills you switch it off, basically what I mean by that is that the output of this that it sends information any information footage it capture it will send to the system so it will be saved directly.
What are the effects for the company and for the people from this particle system?
The effects for this company of this particular system are to keep the organisation secure and no products would be missing or any data that would be stolen by anyone.
The CCTV effects for the company is to protect it and be evidence of anything that happens , the whole meaning of having a CCTV as a system is to keep the store secure and fully protected . And to make sure if there is anything that gets missing then they will just look back into the evidence of the footage and then that would provide whole clear evidence.
Give examples of the new system
If you walk into any store that sells expensive products you will able to see at least 4-6 cameras that’s recording the spot, when you walk to each section of products example if you walk into the TV section there will always be a camera that’s recording from the end of that section. What I mean by this is that there is cameras that records everything section and there is around 15-20 and more cameras in a huge Store.
A example of how many TV’s there is in a Security room
Figure 3
How can the system improve?
In my point of view to answer this question is really hard because having CCTV is just a system that records and take footage of the place and it never turns off unless the electricity goes off, but otherwise the CCTV goes on for 24/7 and there is so much space to put in all the records and the footage into the system.
