This case study article spotlights InProduction, a leader in the US events industry specializing in temporary seating, staging, and scenic production. The company manages a massive inventory housed in multiple warehouses, including their flagship location in Las Vegas. These facilities store the core of their operations: staging materials, seating, and custom-built structures that make world-class events possible. Protecting these valuable assets, though, has proven to be a constant challenge.

The Challenge: Balancing Security with Operational Efficiency

For InProduction, protecting their expansive inventory required a reliable, scalable security system that could handle the complexities of multi-location monitoring. False alarms were a significant problem, triggered by innocuous events such as animals or passing vehicles. With hundreds of notifications daily, the team found it challenging to differentiate between genuine threats and harmless incidents. This alarm fatigue not only hampered security personnel but also left gaps in their ability to address real emergencies promptly.

The company also needed a solution that could accommodate multiple users across various departments while maintaining strict access controls. From HR and inventory management to warehouse managers, each team required tailored access without compromising overall system integrity. Furthermore, InProduction sought a way to integrate advanced features like radar sensors and explore future AI-powered features, such as license plate recognition.

The Solution: Angelcam's Customizable Security Management Platform

Angelcam provided a tailored solution to meet InProduction's needs, significantly enhancing their security infrastructure and user management capabilities. The platform's ability to integrate with over 200 camera brands and support multi-location monitoring made it a perfect fit for InProduction's complex security setup. Here's how Angelcam made a difference:

1. AI False Alarm Filtering and Incident Management: Angelcam's AI-driven filtering system reduced the overwhelming number of false alarms from hundreds per day to just a handful—around 4–5 daily. By grouping sensor-triggered events into categorized incidents, the system minimized spam notifications. For example, a single incident might comprise multiple events within a set duration (e.g., three minutes), preventing unnecessary alerts for each trigger. Angelcam's system categorized incidents in the “My Incidents” dashboard, detailing: date and time of the incident, duration, triggering sensor, associated camera, event count during the incident and filtering status ("filtered" = no notification sent; "human verification required = "notification is sent). This streamlined approach allowed InProduction to focus on actionable alerts, improving both response time and efficiency.

2. Advanced User and Site Management: Angelcam's addressed InProduction's need for granular user control. Using a master account, the company could manage multiple sites while granting specific access to various departments. For instance:

• Warehouse managers had access to all the cameras to oversee daily operations.
• HR could view specific cameras but lacked administrative privileges to make changes.
• Inventory management teams were granted access only to relevant cameras.

Angelcam's site and user management allowed managers to send camera-specific invitations with customizable permissions, such as viewing live streams, accessing recordings, creating clips, or receiving notifications. This flexibility ensured that every department received the access they needed without compromising overall security.

3. Multi-Location Monitoring: With multiple warehouse locations and plans to expand further, InProduction benefited from Angelcam's centralized monitoring platform. Managers could oversee all sites from a single dashboard, streamlining operations and enhancing control.

4. Enhanced Perimeter Monitoring with Axis Radar Sensors: InProduction further strengthened its security by integrating Axis radar sensors with its cameras to bolster perimeter security. These sensors enabled the cameras to zoom in, track, and follow moving objects such as vehicles or individuals, providing detailed real-time footage. This setup provided detailed and actionable footage, ensuring robust surveillance at critical access points like parking lots and loading docks.

Angelcam's timeline markers generated by these sensors allowed for faster incident detection and review, ensuring critical events weren't overlooked. This setup proved particularly effective in monitoring vulnerable areas like loading docks and parking lots, where thefts were most likely to occur.

5. Real-Time Security for Effective Deterrence: Angelcam's Real-Time Security also supports integration with third-party devices like speakers for real-time audio deterrence. This feature deters intrusions with remarkable effectiveness—98% of incidents are resolved before escalating further. As InProduction evaluates additional tools, these deterrence capabilities represent a promising avenue for further enhancing security.

A Future with Enhanced AI Capabilities

Angelcam's platform offers a range of AI enhancements that InProduction is exploring to further refine their security strategy. Features like license plate recognition could be a game-changer, allowing the company to identify vehicles entering their premises after hours. This capability would enable more detailed reporting to authorities and help recover stolen items in the event of a theft. These advanced AI-driven tools promise to further refine their ability to detect, deter, and document threats effectively.

The Results: A Safer and Scalable Setup

Since implementing Angelcam, InProduction has seen transformative improvements in their security operations:

• Fewer False Alarms: The drastic reduction in unnecessary notifications has allowed the team to refocus on genuine threats, improving efficiency and trust in the system.
• Streamlined Multi-Location Oversight: Managers can oversee all locations through a single dashboard, simplifying operations and ensuring consistency.
• Customizable User Access: Tailored permissions have empowered departments to perform their roles effectively without compromising security.
• Enhanced Perimeter Security: The integration of radar sensors and detailed incident reporting has strengthened their ability to monitor and respond to threats.

With Angelcam’s commitment to innovation and scalability, InProduction’s security setup is equipped to handle future challenges, ensuring their warehouses—and the valuable assets within—remain secure.
