Parking structure security challenge
The Challenge

Rising Crime Was Driving Customers Away

Metro Parking Solutions operates a 4-level parking structure serving a regional shopping center. Rising vehicle break-ins and personal safety incidents were driving customers to alternative parking options. Liability claims were increasing, and the shopping center was threatening to terminate the lease. Traditional security cameras captured incidents after they happened but did nothing to prevent them or respond in real-time.

The Solution

AI-Powered Detection with Emergency Response

SCT+ installed solar-powered cameras throughout the 4-level structure with AI-powered detection zones at all entry points, stairwells, and vehicle aisles. The system detects suspicious behavior patterns like loitering, following, or vehicle tampering and alerts our 24/7 monitoring team instantly. Emergency response integration means verified threats trigger immediate law enforcement coordination while two-way audio allows our team to communicate with customers in distress.
