Groep Jennes is a renowned car dealer in Belgium that manages multiple showrooms and car parks for both new and used vehicles. As a leading player in the automotive industry, Group Jennes places great importance on the safety of its premises, customers, and employees. The company faced significant challenges with false alarms and inadequate security measures, which negatively impacted their operations.
Before installing the Secury360 surveillance system, Wouter Eeckeleers, regional manager of Group Jennes, described the situation:
"I used to get 2 to 3 false alarms every week. They were always false alarms. In all those years, I never had a real break-in. But I always got an alarm. If it happened in the evening, it didn’t have much impact, but when it woke you up in the middle of the night, that’s a whole different story. When we took over Group Jennes, the wife of the previous owner wished my wife good luck with dealing with those false alarms. We experienced it firsthand. At some point, we said we couldn’t continue like this. We had so many false alarms about the most ridiculous things, like wind, ducks on the parking lot, reflections from a window, and even a frozen windshield of a car parked in a certain angle. It was absurd."
After a year of dealing with these issues, Wouter contacted their installer, Van Saet, and decided to invest in a camera surveillance system. They installed cameras with the Secury360 boxes, a significant investment, but one that proved to be well worth it.
"We recently had 1 false alarm after a very long time, and that was about a beam triggering an alarm. I see the installer much less now, whereas before, I was in contact with him weekly. There was always something. Now, I hardly see the installer, and that’s a positive thing."
Wouter further explained how the Secury360 technology impacted his life:
"For me, the old situation was no longer acceptable. It had a serious impact on my life. It sounds silly, a false alarm... but it really was like that. Since the installation, my wife is much happier."
Thanks to the Secury360 system, Group Jennes now enjoys a much more reliable security setup. The false alarms have significantly decreased, and the security team’s workload has been reduced, allowing them to focus on real threats. This success story demonstrates how Secury360’s advanced detection technology has brought both peace of mind and tangible results to Group Jennes.
