The company has a large inventory of high-value vehicles that are stored overnight, or longer, in this lot.

About Customer	Silktown Roofing is a full-service roofing contractor that specializes in large new construction projects, replacement of existing roofing systems, aggressive preventative maintenance for the entire building envelope, and the unexpected emergency leak repair.

Solution	To address the issue of thefts, Silktown’s security monitoring service and integrator, Sonitrol New England, recommended thermal camera technology by 3xLOGIC. Jim Erlandson, the Warehouse Manager, oversaw the camera selection and installation. The 3xLOGIC VERA Thermal Camera was chosen for its advanced features and easy deployment and set-up using innovative QR code technology. The camera also offers edge-based recording software and an advanced analytics engine, eliminating the need for an on-site server. During an event, Sonitrol NE gets an alarm triggered by one of the cameras detecting motion with a valid heat signature. Sonitrol staff play back the video to confirm it is a human entering the secure area, and then they notify the police. Read More Log in to view content
