Protecting Your Business After-Hours: The Advantages of AI-Powered Smart Site Protection™
Enhance your security, reduce false alarms, and improve response times with AI-powered protection for your business.
Before Smart Site Protection™
Initial Security Setup:
Before adopting Smart Site Protection™, DRG relied on another security alarm system for their restaurants. The previous security system had some limitations in terms of user-friendliness and the level of detail provided in alerts. There were issues with understanding motion alerts, which were often vague, without specifics on the location. It led to confusion and delays in responding to potential threats.
Common Issues:
- Frequent false alarms: Motion sensors triggered numerous false alarms without context, forcing the team to verify every notification manually
- Delayed threat verification: Without integrated video, identifying security threats required logging into the camera system separately, slowing response times
- Costly fees added up: False alarm fees accumulated across multiple stores, totaling $9,000 over a few years. At one location, a faulty fire sensor triggered repeated false alarms, resulting in more than $2,000 in fines.
Finacial Impact:
- Expensive fines: False alarms resulted in fines between $50-$500 per incident
- Unnecessary expenses: These fines quickly added up, creating avoidable financial strain for the company
Choosing A Smarter Security System
As DRG’s operations grew, so did the need for a more integrated and proactive approach to after-hours security. They needed a partner that could simplify their security operations while improving efficiency across all locations. By selecting Envysion’s Smart Site Protection™, DRG gained an end-to-end solution combining AI-powered alarm verification, video surveillance, and expert support—all under one roof. Fewer vendors meant fewer headaches and a more streamlined approach to protecting their restaurants.
Implementation of Smart Site Protection™
Implementation, Support, and Training Process:
The training process was thorough, enabling DRG’s team to quickly learn the system. Area coaches, responsible for multiple restaurants, were also trained and helped educate district managers on:
- How to use the system effectively
- Who to contact if issues arose
As camera systems were updated, Envysion’s technicians worked closely with DRG’s internal technology team to optimize camera placements. This ensured:
- Maximized visibility: Camera placement was optimized for full coverage
- Improved security: Strategic adjustments enhanced system effectiveness
With improved camera coverage, DRG benefited from:
- Better nighttime monitoring: AI-powered alerts only notify for real threats
- Clearer footage: Better visibility for more accurate threat assessment and quicker responses when incidents do happen
