Contracting for nighttime and weekend security guard protection by auto and truck dealerships is a very expensive act of desperation to counter the rapid increase in vehicle theft and vandalism.
How many guards does it really take to cover an expansive vehicle lot that includes both new and client-owned inventory? Crime occurs in seconds and human guard coverage is both expensive and cannot be everywhere. Technology has stepped in to both cover the entire property and automate deterrence reaction to trespassing within a few seconds.
According to the latest U.S. Contract Security Market report from Robert H. Perry Associates Inc., even traditional manned guarding has changed, and these personnel are being enhanced by remote video monitoring. That’s because remote video monitoring can watch automobile dealerships more effectively than guards alone – and there’s proof positive in the iDter security system product offering.
Since the mission is to position eyes around the entire auto dealership, iDter is the best alternative by replacing human guards with intelligent, 4K camera based Niō Guardians. Niō Guardians are mounted on light poles and on buildings using camera imaging and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically detect intruders and immediately commence a series of programmable deterrence measures using 120dB alarms, bright strobes and voice down messages that have proven to be more than 98% effective in driving thieves off the site before they engage in a crime.
The best guard alternative for car dealerships is iDter
Niō Guardians are backed up by iDter video surveillance personnel who receive video notifications of events and ensure that automated deterrence actions are successful. If for any reason the video monitoring personnel believe the trespassers remain on the property, they manually engage the intruders and dispatch the authorities with a video verified alarm.
Additionally, the iDter system can be used in conjunction with mobile guard services. The mobile or stationary guard can also receive automated notifications of an event on their mobile device and/or be contacted by the iDter video monitoring team that an event requires intervention. In effect, the combination of Niō Guardians with a human guard creates a force multiplier in optimizing security results.
But even without human intervention, the iDter security system continues to deter with its responses. When an intruder is detected, Niō activates its deterrence measures, starting with instant illumination of 10,000 lumens of blinding, multi-directional LED floodlights. Red and blue LED strobe lights activate and disorient, while sirens, voice warning messages and intimidating sound effects initiate.
All intrusion events are live monitored in real time to ensure that deterrence actions were successful and thieves have left the auto dealership. When an undeterred intruder proceeds, a video verified alarm is sent to a UL Listed, Five-Diamond Certified central station for dispatch of authorities through 911 operators.
