UK BMW car dealer deploys ioimage video analytics

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.
