When a company has subsidiaries located in different locations, One of the challenges is bringing the security function together in one place. The Car Rental Company Hertz they looked for a solution for their operations in Corsica and used the products Hikvision To do so.

The goal was to be able to monitor the entrances and exits of vehicles from five sites from the main location in Bastia as if there were only one establishment. The existing situation posed serious problems as they could not get an overview of what was happening at each site.

With customers returning cars at all five sites, It can be difficult to keep an eye on them without a large number of staff. For example, a customer picked up a car in Bastia and returned it elsewhere to 130 km away. unfortunately, There was no one at that site to check on the condition of the vehicle. Later, Scratches were found on the vehicle, But there was no evidence that the client was at fault. In the end, Hertz had to hire an additional employee on-site to check the condition of returning vehicles.

This, Of course, influenced the operation of the business, among other things because it increased operating costs in labor and claims for lost repair.

The solution to control this entry and exit of vehicles in different locations was found in Hikvision's technology.

At all five Hertz locations in Corsica-Calvi, Figari, Cavone ( Ajaccio), Ajaccio airport and the main site in Bastia- have been installed 29 ANPR cameras (automatic license plate recognition) (DS-2CD4A26FWD-LZS/ P) and four PanoVu systems (DS-2DP1636Z-D). This equipment is part of a larger infrastructure, including 4K NVR (DS-7732NI-I4) and a video management platform from Hikvision.

Four ANPR cameras have been installed in front of each entrance door. The ANPR reads the board and the software queries a database where the boards are stored. If the license plate is in the database, The camera is activated to record and the barrier opens. If you are not in the database, Won't open.

The recordings will be stored in the NVRs with a link to the video recorder for all four cameras. At last, a PanoVu camera offers an optimal overview in the open space and provides perimeter security with smart features such as line crossing and intrusion alerts.
