Only ADPRO FastTrace meets renowned BMW dealer needs

After an extensive tender process, BMW Park Lane - one of the world's most prestigious car dealership groups - has selected Vision Systems'  ADPRO FastTrace as the security system to guard its high-profile London sites.

The tender was won by security systems provider Intruder International plc, who proposed ADPRO FastTrace as part of a major integrated CCTV, access control and intruder detection programme across the car dealership's six sites.

"When we looked at BMW's requirements, we knew that ADPRO FastTrace fitted the bill perfectly," explains Technical Director Lee Abraham of Intruder International.  "All sites are connected via a wide area network, and BMW needed a means to efficiently deliver video images.  Furthermore, using ADPRO FastTrace in conjunction with ADPRO Video Central Gold enables BMW to remotely monitor and control alarms on sites at all times."

ADPRO FastTrace is the definitive multi-site video security system that delivers rapid and reliable retrieval of watermarked images or live video over a wide range of communication networks. Based on digital video recording technology, it is a superior video-audio transmission and alarm management system providing total surveillance, site management and security system capability.

When used with Video Central - a PC-based software package specifically designed to monitor video from remote sites fitted with ADPRO products - ADPRO FastTrace provides the most flexible multi-site video security system available.  Video Central Gold is the full-featured edition for single and multi-user environments supporting multiple operators, communication devices and PCs.

One of the many unique features of ADPRO FastTrace is its advanced video compression technology.  Comments James Thornton, Park Lane BMW's Head of Security: "We were very impressed with this significant video compression, as it enables fast access over more limited bandwidth links.  We wanted the assurance that we could deliver images to multiple locations without overloading our wide area network."

"We were also particularly impressed with the product's integrated video alarm verification feature.  ADPRO FastTrace alerts us to the presence of intruders before an attempted break-in, and the causes of alarm can be viewed centrally, from our security control room in Battersea."

BMW Park Lane's operations comprise showrooms and service centres within the capital, all of which require a sophisticated, flexible and highly reliable and cost-effective security system to provide reliable protection.  With ADPRO FastTrace now installed, the car dealership can rest assured it has trustworthy security management across its sites.
