Security system upgrade
Vehicle theft and malicious damage to cars and property can cost a motor dealership hundreds of thousands of pounds every year, not to mention the disruption to business and the impact on its brand reputation.
Choosing the right security provider is therefore key, and so too working with the best and most reliable technologies that ensure the highest levels of detection and the minimum number of false alarms.
The Lookers Motor Group, a multi-franchise dealer group, conducted a review of its existing security systems and concluded that further upgrades were needed to maintain the highest level of protection.
Nabil Sunni, security manager at Lookers, contacted B&B Corporate Security Consultants (BBCSC), with whom he had worked previously, to recommend a solution that could be standardised across all of its sites.
BBCSC proposed a multi-layered approach using a range of different sensors from the specialist manufacturer, OPTEX. Every perimeter is now protected by either wired or wireless infrared (IR) beams, or in some instances by laser sensors that create a ‘virtual wall’. Intruders are therefore detected before they can cause any damage.
