Case Study: Trend Motors Ltd. reduces liability costs and protects assets with Avigilon high-definition surveillance

Trend Motors - Customer Case Study

Trend Motors Ltd., a large Volkswagen dealership in Morris County, NJ with more than 50 employees, a 13‑bay service center and an 18,000 sq. ft. facility, faced rising costs and operational risk from frequent vehicle damage and unclear accountability. The dealer was spending over $1,000 a month on repairs from incidents with no responsible party identified and needed a solution to secure the lot, protect inventory and reduce liability.

Trend Motors deployed Avigilon’s high‑definition surveillance—ACC NVMS with HDSM, 5 MP cameras, analog encoders and NVR storage of up to four weeks—installed and prewired by Ultimate Security Systems and managed from desktop workstations. The system cut investigation times (one culprit was identified in under 20 minutes and convicted), lowered liability and repair costs, improved employee accountability and customer-service processes, and delivered a clear return on investment while also providing useful evidence to local police.
