Optex's Redwall SIP sensors protect the perimeter of a large car dealership

An auto dealer located in Fort Lauderdale (Florida – Usa. U.S.) began to suffer theft of parts, tires and even cars. Its security system was composed of a low-cost CCTV that worked with video motion sensors., and was not effective.

The poor location of the sensors (on the outside of the fence and easily accessible for deactivation), together with the speed of theft of the thieves were the obstacles that had to be overcome. Those responsible required an improved and flexible system that took into account the many physical obstacles (wildlife, Vegetation, Etc.) and anti-vandalism.

For this, the manufacturer's Redwall SIP wireless infrared sensors were chosen. Optex, brand marketed by ProdexTec in Spain and Portugal, that have been easily integrated with the chosen CCTV system, and activate the PTZ dome cameras fixed within the detection area, allowing the capture and recording of any intrusion within the sensor area and alerts the alarm center, as well as the authorities and a dealer contact

Redwall SIP sensors take wildlife into account, vegetation and other physical obstacles simply masking those areas, thus removing these obstacles within the protected perimeter of the detector. Because the old system was susceptible to vandalism, the team installed the sensors behind the fence and more than 3 meters high, according to specifications. In total, the plan included twelve Redwall SIP units mounted in four buildings, that were installed in a single day.

Currently, this car dealership maintains a secure perimeter that detects intruders before committing the theft of auto parts and other property. In addition, the system has been easily integrated into the current wireless network and is optimized for vandalism.
