Car Dealerships
Security designed for car dealerships
With valuable inventory left outside during the night, a secWatch system that combines outdoor movement detectors with high definition CCTV and live audio challenge is a cost effective way to prevent crime before it happens.
Ever had valuable components stolen from your cars at night?
The theft of high value parts from cars at night is a problem faced by many car and truck dealerships. According to the Victorian Police, "as the rebirthing of whole vehicles becomes progressively harder, the dismantling or stripping of major components becomes increasingly more attractive and less risky for car criminals". Car parts are then sold on the internet to unsuspecting buyers. These thefts not only slow down the sales process, they have financial implications to the business.
secWatch Virtual Guard Services can be a valuable part of your car theft reduction system by stopping opportunistic thieves from stealing parts. We can assist police by identifying crime and sharing this intelligence. Through real time intervention we can help you build a secure system.
From our 24 hour Security Operations Centre we use high definition cameras to see what is happening onsite. Where there are unauthorised people on-site, an audio challenge is issued by one of our operators. People are warned that they are trespassing and if they do not leave the authorities will be notified.
How it works
Camera trap technology
Detect
When a site is armed, the secVision system is ready to detect any unauthorised after hours activity. Alarm signals are sent straight from the CCTV cameras using analytics, or from the intruder alarm system, to the Security Operations Centre where the associated CCTV images are viewed.
Verify
Our Virtual Guards can be looking at the site within seconds of an incident. The relevant cameras are viewed by trained CCTV intervention specialists. Video verified activity can be acted on immediately to prevent crime from occurring before it happens.
Audio challenge
With the ability to deliver a voice down alert, we deter theft and warn trespassers off your site. Using on-site public address speakers, the Virtual Guards issue an audio challenge which alerts the intruder that the premises are secured, their activities are being recorded and the authorities have been notified.
Respond
The intervention specialist follows the response plan agreed with the client. Authorities prioritise video verified alarms higher than alarms that have not been verified. Our system eliminates false alarm phone calls disturbing the key holders unnecessarily.
