Case Study: Kentucky Fried Chicken prevents cash theft and foils break-ins with Xtralis ADPRO remote video alarm solution

Kentucky Fried Chicken - Customer Case Study

Kentucky Fried Chicken in South Africa was suffering repeated after-hours break-ins where criminals stole cash from the drop safe before Cash‑In‑Transit collections. Existing alarm systems and armed response were too slow—robberies were completed in about five minutes—causing cash losses, store damage, business disruption and concerns about insurance cover.

Video Alarm Monitoring SA and Rentsec installed an ADPRO FastTrace solution with CCTV, PIR detectors and a central monitoring station so detector‑activated video is reviewed live. Operators can issue PA warnings, remotely deploy pepper gas and direct armed response; since installation in December 2006 there have been only two attempted break‑ins, both dispersed with operator response within 2 seconds and offenders gone in under 20 seconds. The system also provides time‑stamped audit trails and remote live viewing, and the success generated 10 additional KFC contracts.
