Richmond Motor Group needed a secure and manageable system for Hyundai Southampton that could improve site-wide visibility, replace damaged camera infrastructure, support vehicle evidence, deter after-hours incidents and stabilise connectivity across linked buildings.
The site was carrying several hidden infrastructure risks. Wireless links between buildings were unstable, devices relied too heavily on DHCP, Wi-Fi coverage was inconsistent, previous external camera runs used unsuitable internal-grade cable and water ingress had damaged cameras and connectors. The result was a system that was difficult to trust, difficult to maintain and not strong enough for vehicle disputes or security operations.
Smart AI Core rebuilt the site around a structured UniFi network and surveillance platform. The installation introduced a UDM Pro Max, dedicated video recording, 39 AI cameras, 9 PTZ auto-tracking cameras, ANPR search, AI audio warnings, 16 PoE switches, external-grade Cat6 cabling, cleaner cabinet organisation, static IP planning, DHCP improvements, wireless bridge optimisation and stronger Wi-Fi coverage across operational areas.
Hyundai Southampton gained a more stable, secure and professional infrastructure. Camera reliability improved after water-damaged cabling was replaced, IP conflicts were reduced, multi-building connectivity became easier to manage, ANPR improved vehicle accountability and AI detection with audio alerts strengthened after-hours deterrence.
