The Pain Points

!Overnight lot break-ins cost dealerships thousands in stolen vehicles and parts
!Vandalism damages inventory and reputation — and insurance premiums rise with every claim
!Test drive fraud and unauthorised lot access are hard to detect with passive CCTV
!Guards patrol once an hour — the other 59 minutes your lot is unwatched

How ImageDeep Solves This

ImageDeep combines licence plate recognition with AI-verified monitoring across your entire lot and showroom. The moment a suspicious vehicle or person enters after hours, a human operator verifies the threat and alerts your team in under 5 seconds. Every incident is recorded in timestamped HD with chain-of-custody logs ready for insurance claims. Most dealerships deploy on existing cameras in 48 hours — no new hardware, no construction, no downtime.

Compliance & Regulatory Context

FCA-regulated automotive businesses operating with customer data on premises must maintain documented security and data protection protocols under DPA 2018. CCTV footage used as insurance claim evidence must meet evidential standards — ImageDeep's timestamped HD recordings and chain-of-custody logs satisfy insurer requirements. Footage retention and access controls must comply with GDPR data minimisation principles, and ImageDeep's configurable retention policies ensure that footage is held only for the period required.
