ioimage has installed new intelligent video appliances at a Porsche dealership The dealer hopes to protect their stock through the use of this technology

As crime reaches disproportionate figures around the world, but especially in
South Africa, and with criminals becoming more ruthless and daring in their
attempts, businesses are turning to top end technology to assist them in
protecting their assets.
The price of insurance on high-market businesses is astronomical, with the
risks particularly high in this sector. Add to that the loss of money caused by
damage to property and some companies are justifiably seeking the last word in
video security.
ioimage, a pioneer in video intelligent appliances, and developer of unique
video analytics solutions, has announced that the Porsche dealership in
Johannesburg has installed their security system in the car showroom to protect
assets worth millions of Rands.
With each car valued at approximately $150,000 - and 100 of these vehicles on
the showroom floor at any given time - the Sunninghill Gauteng dealership is
correct to assume that the business may very well be targeted by criminal
elements.
"Theft of vehicles and auto parts at high end car dealerships such as Porsche
are on the rise worldwide," commented ioimage Sales Director, Greg Mendeleev.
"Video analytics provides the most effective solution for protecting valuable
inventory and reducing the huge costs associated with damages, loss and
escalating insurance premiums."
The ioimage security system will be installed along 650 meters of fence line
and is smart enough to ignore natural triggers such as climate elements which
usually bring on false alarms. The system is also flexible enough to interface
with Porsche's internal monitoring system.
