KEYper Systems and iDter exhibit AI that protects keys, assets and outdoor property from vandalism and theft at NADA Show 2023

KEYper Systems, an ASSA ABLOY Company and global provider of innovative key and asset control management solutions, together with iDter, an award-winning developer and manufacturer of an artificial intelligence (AI) surveillance system that puts an end to loitering and property crime, will showcase their joint commercial security solution at NADA Show 2023.

KEYper Systems and iDter will be at Booth 233 during NADA Show 2023, the auto industry event of the year, January 26-29, 2023, in Dallas, Texas, USA.

AI-based intrusion detection

The companies announced a strategic partnership has KEYper Systems deploying iDter solutions at automobile dealerships to provide intelligent intrusion detection and immediate deterrence.

iDter uses AI embedded in Niō Guardian nodes located around a property to detect intrusion and take immediate and programmable deterrence actions against the intrusion.

98% immediate deterrence

KEYper Systems and its network of agents have full access to iDter’s security solutions and services

KEYper Systems and its network of agents have full access to iDter’s security solutions and services, which have been proven to thwart 98% of crime without the delays or high costs associated with human intervention.

KEYper has the right to embed the iDter Niō Guardian system in its line of key and asset management products and sell the entire iDter commercial security system directly to KEYper clients.

Elite series of key management

“Auto dealerships are under attack,” said Steve Baucom, President of KEYper Systems, adding “Nearly half a million vehicles were stolen the first half of 2022 according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), equating to an estimated $4.5 billion."

He continues, "KEYper’s secure Elite series of key management cabinets only allow authorised users to check out keys and provide detailed records and photos of who is using which key and why. By adding the deterrence capabilities of iDter’s Niō Guardians, we are deploying a robust, integrated solution that stops key and automobile losses before they occur.”

Niō Guardian system

Notifications of intrusion with video recordings are sent to property owners for self-monitoring

Niō Guardians are easy-to-install devices equipped with a 4K high-resolution HD camera, motion detectors, microphone, and deep learning AI to automatically detect an intrusion. Upon detection, Niō Guardians immediately deter intruders using 10,000 lumens of LED flood light, red/blue LED strobes, and three-way loudspeakers for spoken messages, startling sound effects, and ear-piercing alarms.

The Niō nodes execute programmable scripts that escalate their response upon detection and have access to a myriad of playlist responses designed to defy predictability. Notifications of intrusion with video recordings are sent to property owners for self-monitoring on mobile phones or to the iDter monitoring personnel for 911 response.

Managing keys and assets

“We are excited to be partnering with KEYper Systems during NADA to demonstrate how AI can help protect and manage keys and dealer assets,” said Greg Ayres, iDter Vice President of Marketing and Business Development.

Greg Ayres adds, “KEYper’s outdoor security system provides deterrence in seconds and is highly effective perimeter protection that’s more cost-effective than monitored cameras or security guards.”
