Commercial case study
A full UniFi ecosystem for a large automotive site, combining AI CCTV, ANPR, PTZ tracking, car park Wi-Fi optimisation, VLAN redesign, guest separation and live MOT viewing.
Project profile
Each case study is structured around the real operational problem, the infrastructure decisions behind the installation and the outcome the client could actually feel day to day.
Property
Automotive showroom, service workshop, MOT facility, parts areas and car parks
Region
Botley, UK

Richmond Motor Group needed stronger visibility across showroom, workshop, MOT, parts and car park areas, while also improving Wi-Fi coverage, vehicle accountability, guest network isolation and day-to-day manageability for IT and security dispatch.
The existing network was not supporting the operation properly. Car park Wi-Fi was weak, internal vehicle-checking software was hard to use, VLAN configuration through OPNsense was unstable, DHCP pools were too limited, guest Wi-Fi was mixed with business systems and the site was exposed to night-time incidents and vehicle damage disputes.
Smart AI Core designed and implemented a unified UniFi surveillance and network ecosystem. A UDM Pro Max and UNVR were integrated using 10Gb SFP connectivity, with dedicated VLAN planning, static addressing, DHCP redesign, guest Wi-Fi separation, 29 AI cameras, 4 PTZ auto-tracking cameras, ANPR search, AI audio warnings, 8 PoE switches, Cat6 infrastructure and live MOT video streaming for customer viewing areas.
The completed system gave the site clearer visibility, more reliable operational Wi-Fi, stronger cybersecurity separation, better ANPR evidence, easier management for IT and security dispatch, improved after-hours deterrence and live MOT viewing that added a more professional customer experience.
