Case Study - Liberty Buick GMC | KEYper Systems

Introduction and Challenges: 

Liberty Buick GMC has had firsthand experience with the nationwide uptick in automobile-related crime. Last year, more than one million vehicles were stolen across the US for the first time since 2008, according to statistics released by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) in March 2023. Auto parts were also pinpointed for black market resale: catalytic converter theft ticked up 1,200% over the last three years.

Liberty was facing the following challenges: 

• Wheels were stolen from vehicles on the lot
• Radios taken out of cars 
• Attempted vehicle theft

In the face of the highest vehicle theft rates in history, auto dealers across the country are turning to technology to stop these escalating attacks before losses are incurred.

Why KEYper Systems?

Liberty has built a solid relationship with KEYper Systems over the years, utilizing multiple solutions KEYper offers to help drive sales and service efficiencies within the dealership. KEYper protects the keys to the cars on Liberty Buick GMC's lot - our 16-gauge steel key management cabinets with optional puck locks make it almost impossible to pry the door open. But what about the vulnerable components being targeted by thieves? KEYper has formed a partnership with iDter, which provides AI-driven 4K ultra-high resolution camera technology embedded in compact Niō Guardian nodes that can be placed around a property. The strategic placement of these Niō Guardians provides full coverage intrusion detection and immediate and programmable deterrence actions. When Liberty Buick GMC found themselves in need of heightened security, their established trust in the quality and reliability of KEYper's key management solutions meant that taking advantage of these new offerings was a no brainer.

What KEYper provided: 

Based on an analysis of Liberty Buick GMC's vehicle lot, KEYper installed sixteen iDter Nio Guardians around the dealership to stop intruders in their tracks, before they have a chance to commit a crime. The Niō Guardian is more than a 4K camera - when an intruder is detected, Niō activates an array of proven effective deterrence features such as flood lights, red and blue strobes, piercing sirens, and programmable audio communications. Simultaneously, Liberty Buick GMC receives instant notifications, visibility, and control through iDter's mobile app.

In the event that intruders are not deterred by the overwhelming automated response of the Niō Guardians, iDter personnel dispatch the authorities by issuing a video-verified alert through redundant 5 Diamond TMA Certified & UL listed central alarm stations.

Since implementing KEYper and iDter's solution, Liberty Buick GMC has reported the following:

• 0 thefts 
• 23% reduction in loitering 
• 46% less trespassing 

Conclusion:
