Interface Systems, a prominent provider of AI-fueled security and remote video monitoring solutions, is preparing to showcase at The Car Wash Show 2026, taking place from May 11–13 at the Music City Center in Nashville (Booth 3027).
The company will present its Virtual Perimeter Guard and Video Analytics tools, which are designed to fulfil key requirements frequently mentioned by operators: minimising after-hours risks and bolstering defences against dubious claims. Interface also provides comprehensive network and voice solutions, along with video-verified alarm monitoring and video management systems, ensuring consistent operational reliability across all locations.
Video management systems enhance security
Express car wash facilities typically remain unsupervised for 10 to 14 hours each night, during which time high-value equipment, unattended payment points, and open perimeters pose significant security risks. Traditional camera setups tend to record rather than proactively manage these threats.
Operators also face increasing claims related to slip-and-fall incidents, tunnel collisions, and pre-existing damage, which are costly to settle in the absence of time-stamped video documentation. As operators scale through acquisitions, they often inherit a variety of outdated security systems and inconsistent vendor setups, complicating overall management and increasing costs. Partnering with a single provider like Interface, which can standardise security measures, video intelligence, and network connectivity, streamlines operations across multiple sites.
AI-driven detection of unauthorised presence
The system responds with pre-programmed voice alerts and strobe lights to deter intruders
The Virtual Perimeter Guard system minimises after-hours risks by using autonomous AI-powered technology to detect unauthorised individuals and vehicles in restricted areas.
The system responds with pre-programmed voice alerts and strobe lights to deter intruders. If threats persist, Interface’s Interactive Security Operations Centers (iSOCs) step in, leveraging trained intervention specialists to manage real-time responses and liaise with law enforcement when necessary. Through this multi-layered approach, Interface reports a 96% success rate in resolving perimeter threats without the need for police intervention.
Comprehensive video analytics for claim management
Interface's Video Analytics captures precise, time-stamped video footage throughout the customer experience, from site entry to vehicle tunnel and vacuuming. This feature provides operators the necessary documentation for resolving claims with confidence. It monitors throughput, measures wait times, identifies tunnel collisions, and documents pre-existing vehicle damage. Using pre-installed security cameras, the system ensures seamless data capture without requiring additional investments.
"Car wash operators share three primary concerns with us: risk reduction, claim management, and operational efficiency," stated Sean Foley, Chief Revenue Officer at Interface Systems. "Virtual Perimeter Guard and Video Analytics equip operators with proactive threat deterrence and comprehensive claim documentation. Our integrated service model, encompassing security, video intelligence, and fully managed network solutions under a single platform and invoice, is particularly advantageous for those expanding through acquisitions and dealing with disparate systems," he added. Attendees can explore these innovations further through a live demonstration at Booth 3027 or book an appointment for detailed discussions.
