Nick Whale, a UK BMW car dealership, has successfully installed ioimage video surveillance system to safeguard its outdoor sales site from theft and vandalism which added up to $1 million in damages a year.

The installation featuring advanced tracking and intrusion detection capabilities has already helped the Nick Whale dealership detect and remove several intruders from the premises. The group plans to deploy a similar system at additional car dealerships this summer.

Prior to turning to ioimage, the Nick Whale dealership had deployed an external passive sensor system that failed to deliver complete site coverage due to blockages caused by continuously moving stock. As a result, the dealership suffered an average of five thefts per year, with each incident involving up to five stolen cars. The ioimage solution provides the Nick Whale dealership with full coverage of the sales lot, which holds about 100 new and used cars worth some $4 million.

The Nick Whale Group is a leading English dealership specializing in high-end and sports cars. Ioimage provides high-performance video encoders and cameras with built-in analytics. ioimage offers a new approach to video security by transforming surveillance into a proactive, event-driven process.

Spanish security systems company Securitas Direct provides 3G home surveillance system based on RADVISION’s SCOPIATM interactive video platform and 3G vide. The security solution is developed by CESTEL, a major Spanish system integrator and service provider.

 “3G mobile access to surveillance cameras is a solution that our customers are looking for,” said Mr. José Luis Martin, Securitas Direct’s CTO. “The solution provided by RADVISION and CESTEL allows easy access to 3G video streams from any device, anywhere, in real-time and with no need for a client download, resulting in an efficient and manageable large scale deployment.  The superior video quality and smooth operation enhances our surveillance and security offerings significantly.”

The initial deployment targets an installation base of 7,000 households throughout Spain. Home cameras, connected to the security system via ADSL can be accessed by 3G mobile subscribers, who are called when a manual or automatic alarm triggers the system. The cameras and other electrically controlled devices such as doors, gates and alarms can be activated by the number pad on the 3G mobile phone.

“Securitas Direct and CESTEL are pioneering new paradigms in home surveillance and security and leading the market towards widely-deployed remote interactive multimedia access. The remote voice and video communications service is also appealing for personal monitoring of the elderly, nannies, babysitters, household pets and more,” said Alon Barnea, General Manager of RADVISION’s Mobility & Service Provider Business Unit.
