Hutt City Auto Electrical adds CleverLoop smart-business security protection

We all work hard to make a living, so when someone makes off with some of your takings from the day, it can be pretty annoying – to say the least! Here’s how one Kiwi business got around the problem with the help of CleverLoop.

Stuart Ingham, the owner of Hutt City Auto Electrical has always had his business well protected with monitored alarms that make sure everything is secure after-hours. Sensors, sirens and guards on hand, a sensible approach.

“We’ve always been very security conscious because we need to look after our property, our equipment and our customers’ cars.” said Stu

Earlier in the year however, a customer pulled his car into the workshop at Hutt City Auto Electrical and while the guys were under the bonnet providing what was a quick and free-of-charge fix, the ‘customer’ asked to use the toilet.

Unfortunately the ‘trip to the toilet’ detoured via the petty cash box, something that was only noticed after the ‘customer’ had driven off. Looking for a solution, Stu made contact with CleverLoop.

CleverLoop system adds video protection

Stu now has a camera system installed which provides him with continuous video recordings of what’s happened during the day. These recordings, from multiple cameras that cover important areas, are easy for Stu to access from a hard drive which stores weeks-worth of footage.

After-hours, the CleverLoop smart detection algorithm takes over, so if there are any unusual movements, Stu receives instant video alerts and can take a quick look at live-views of what’s actually going on. A perfect way to get peace-of-mind and add video surveillance to your small business security.

And Stu’s thoughts on the CleverLoop system?

“Having video protection during the day and night has given us even more security and being able to view the videos and control the system from my iPhone makes it really convenient to use” said Stu. “Plus, there’s no monthly fee to pay which means the system will pay for itself in no time.”

And for those of you wondering, the boys in blue did catch up with the thief, who it seems had been on a bit of a spree in the local area.

Talking of local area, for those of you living in the Petone, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt or Wellington, if your car is in need of some auto electrical work, make sure you head over to see Stu and his team at Hutt City Auto Electrical. They do a great job — just make sure you smile for the cameras!
