Case Study: South Security Ltd combats ram-raids in New Zealand with Network Optix Nx Witness VMS

South Security Ltd detects ram-raids in under 3 seconds with Network Optix

The customer, South Security Ltd, a security system specialist in New Zealand, faced the challenge of helping retail businesses combat a surge in ram-raids. These burglaries, where vehicles are driven into buildings to loot them, had quadrupled, and existing security systems reliant on manpower were ineffective. South Security Ltd partnered with vendor Network Optix to implement a solution using the Nx Witness VMS to enable real-time threat identification and immediate alerts.

Network Optix provided the Nx Witness VMS, a lightweight video management system that was integrated with AI cameras on South Security Ltd's mobile CCTV towers. This solution allows for the real-time identification of intruders, triggering system alerts within three seconds and activating onboard sirens and strobes. The implementation has enabled rapid notification of authorities and increased the likelihood of apprehending burglars, providing a powerful tool to combat these theft attempts.
