Case Study: Swansway Garages achieves 24/7 remote multi-site perimeter protection and reliable fire detection with Xtralis ADPRO & OSID

Multi-site perimeter protection and fire detection solution Swansway Garages

Swansway Garages, a family-owned motor group with 19 branches across northern England and Wales, needed a cost-effective, low-cabling security solution to protect high-value stock 24/7. Key requirements included perimeter protection for open and enclosed compounds, reliable fire detection in covered areas, operation in darkness without site illumination, and remote monitoring from mobile devices.

NU Fire & Security installed Xtralis ADPRO FastTrace 2E across 14 dealership sites (including HQ), combining IR cameras, UPS backup and 3G redundancy with ADPRO IntrusionTrace (HOSDB/i-LIDS approved) and the iTrace mobile app for live remote verification. Open-area Smoke Imaging Detection (OSID) was added for robust smoke detection with minimal false alarms, installs met BS8418 for police URNs, and the system now delivers instant remote alerts, verified imagery for rapid response, and plans for analytics and smoke-visual verification to further enhance security and business intelligence.
