The Challenge
Safeguarding and securing automotive dealerships against trespassing, damage, and theft poses a formidable challenge for the auto industry. The allure of American muscle cars, with their high-performance capabilities and lucrative resale values, has made them prime targets for criminals seeking to profit from the illicit selling of stolen vehicles. Recent years have seen a surge in automotive theft, compelling dealerships and law enforcement agencies to adopt proactive security measures in response to this growing threat.
To address the security challenges faced by automotive dealerships, ION247 has harnessed cutting-edge technology with 24/7 remote video monitoring services for automobile dealerships across the United States. A significant number of these dealerships are strategically situated in close proximity to high-traffic areas, presenting a unique set of challenges for proactive surveillance. At the time, the existing monitoring operations center encountered a recurring issue – a flood of false alarms triggered by intricate scenes, glaring billboards, and heavy pedestrian traffic.
Solution | Evolon Edge
Criminals today exploit both advanced technology and their extensive experience to execute automotive theft with remarkable speed and efficiency, rendering any false alarms unacceptable. This indeed validates the need for the ION247 monitoring center to have accurate and verified alerts in real-time, which is essential for thwarting these sophisticated criminal endeavors.
In response to this concern, Evolon Edge was introduced at the customer sites and proved to be a game-changer. Evolon Edge provides greater protection with fewer cameras by ignoring the noise in important security scenes, minimizing false alarms, and tracking real-time threats for rapid response from monitoring operators.
This innovative addition resulted in a remarkable reduction of false alarms by more than 90%, significantly enhancing the efficiency of our monitoring operations team. This breakthrough not only allows better protection for valuable assets but also underscores ION247’s unwavering commitment to delivering the highest level of security in the automotive industry.
Evolon Edge uses advanced video analytics to see further and detect threats with accuracy – unlocking the full power of the surveillance camera. Seemlessly integrating into Evolon Insites connects edge devices to powerful cloud-native AI models for advanced object analytics and threat intelligence.
The Impact
Recently, an automotive dealership under ION247’s protection had a crime that was thwarted by the ION247 proactive monitoring team. The customer is a major automotive dealership in Birmingham, Alabama.
The targeted automotive dealership was equipped with the latest security technology and has ION247 monitoring 24/7. The monitoring operations team detected suspicious activity and quickly responded to the threat. The company coordinated with law enforcement agencies and apprehended the criminals before damage or theft occurred.
The automotive customer estimated that the proactive security measures prevented over $500,000 of property theft.
The trifecta of theft prevention, substantial reduction in false alarms, and the inherent affordability of Evolon AI were critical considerations for deciding to use Evolon Edge at customer sites.
The comprehensive training provided by Evolon’s engineering group played an instrumental role in empowering the ION247 team to fully harness the capabilities of the Evolon ecosystem.
