Porsche Car Dealership Installs ioimage Intelligent Video
ioimage Video Analytics Protecting $15 Million Worth of Luxury Cars
HERZLIYA, Israel, February 4 /PRNewswire/ -- ioimage, the pioneer of
intelligent video appliances, announced that its video analytics solution has
been installed to prevent theft at the Porsche car dealership and showroom in
Sunninghill Gauteng, a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa.
With approximately 100 vehicles, each worth on average $150,000, the
dealership was looking for a reliable security system that would accurately
and dependably detect intruders along 650 meters of fence line, while
ignoring environmental influences that lead to false alarms. The solution
also needed to have the flexibility to interface with Porsche's Virtual
Private Network (VPN) infrastructure to allow central monitoring of its
dealerships.
ioimage video analytics was seamlessly integrated into Porsche's CCTV
platform to act as an early warning system and to provide instant visual
verification of alerts. Since recording initiated only upon alerts, ioimage's
solution minimizes irrelevant footage and has also reduced the number of
security officers required to monitor video screens.
"In our extensive experience with intruder detection systems, ioimage's
video analytics has exceeded our expectations," said Sasha Savin, Managing
Director of Goodman Security Technologies (Pty) Ltd., who installed the
system and are partners of C3 Shared Services. "Its reliability and
ease-of-use make it an extremely efficient solution for installations such as
ours."
Porsche is considering adding ioimage intelligent video appliances also
to its Durban and Cape Town sites, as part of a nationwide upgrade to its
security systems.
"Theft of vehicles and auto parts at high-end car dealerships such as
Porsche are on the rise worldwide," said Greg Mendeleev, ioimage Senior Sales
Director, EMEA. "Video analytics provides the most effective solution for
protecting valuable inventory and reducing the huge costs associated with
damages, loss and escalating insurance premiums."
