New Jersey Car Dealership Deploys Avigilon HD Surveillance System

  • Aug 03, 2010

Avigilon recently announced that Trend Motors Ltd., a Volkswagen dealership located in Morris County, N.J., has deployed the Avigilon HD Surveillance System to secure its property, protect assets, ensure employee accountability, and reduce the liability costs associated with repairing vehicles damaged while on site.

“Before installing the Avigilon HD Surveillance System, we were spending more than $1,000 a month on repairs that resulted from damage that no one would take responsibility for -- a cost to our business that I simply could not justify,” said Adam M. Greene, president of Trend Motors Ltd. “Delivering exceptional image quality and advanced management tools for quick and positive identification, the Avigilon HD Surveillance System saves time and -- for every business -- time is a huge asset.”

Trend Motors Ltd. seamlessly manages the Avigilon HD Surveillance System using Avigilon Control Center Network Video Management Software with HD Stream Management, which was built from the ground up to manage HD surveillance video.

The dealership installed 5 megapixel Avigilon HD cameras to monitor the exterior of the property, including all entrances and exits, a storage area, and the employee smoking area. Trend Motors Ltd. also installed several Avigilon Analog Video Encoders to enhance the performance of its analog cameras, which cover the service bays, showroom, storage, and customer lounge. Storing up to four weeks of footage, users monitor the Avigilon HD Surveillance System from their desktops.

The Avigilon HD Surveillance System has proven to be a great business tool, delivering a strong return on investment by cutting investigation time and reducing liability costs. Trend Motors Ltd. also leverages the Avigilon HD Surveillance System to resolve employee productivity concerns, customer service issues, and protect assets to achieve further operational efficiencies and cost savings. Local law enforcement officials also used Trend Motors Ltd.’s Avigilon HD Surveillance System in the successful investigation of an incident at a neighboring business.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
