Advice - ADT Vehicle Security
Australia is in the grip of a vehicle theft epidemic that has impacted tens of thousands of people. In 2024 alone, there were more than 65,000 victims of motor vehicle theft nationwide – that’s an 8% increase from the previous year.
What’s more alarming is that car thefts are now often part of home invasions, terrorising families and shattering the illusion of safety in our homes, as well as our garages and driveways.
Combine that with a 33% spike in theft from vehicles (often a gateway crime for juvenile offenders) and the picture looks even worse.
What these statistics don’t record is the damage these offenders can do in their efforts to steal cars - or steal from them. These criminals have no respect for property, so have no qualms about the destruction they cause. Even if they’re unsuccessful in stealing it, the smashed windows, busted locks and other damage done to a car has the potential to run into tens of thousands of dollars.
Classics Under Threat
Your FJ Holden or classic Mustang simply wasn’t built with the modern car thief in mind. And if those thieves can bypass the premium anti-theft technologies on modern, high-tech cars with apparent ease, what hope is there for classics with much more basic and easy-to-defeat security?
A padlock on the garage door, kill switch or club lock simply isn’t enough these days, but there is hope for your classic’s security in the form of Proactive Video Monitoring.
A New Answer to an Old Threat
As car thieves are now more brazen than ever, it makes sense to stop them before they get near your vehicle, and ideally, before they even get onto your premises. That’s what Proactive Video Monitoring offers.
This isn’t just a camera recording to a hard drive for police to view after the damage is done; it’s a live, intelligent, and immediate defence system for your pride and joy.
As the name suggests, proactive video monitoring is designed to recognise threats before they become obvious. Unlike motion alarms, the artificial intelligence that’s built into this system can tell a cat or possum from a person and recognise an intruder against a passerby.
Detection to Deterrent – Fast
Once a genuine threat is detected, the system moves from detection to prevention in seconds, alerting security professionals. They can verify the intrusion in real-time, often using two-way audio to confront the intruder directly. This immediate, human intervention is a powerful deterrent that can be effective in preventing vehicle theft.
Crystal-clear night vision and high-definition cameras capture every crucial detail, providing undeniable evidence for police, ensuring offenders are more likely to be identified.
Proactive Video Monitoring also works around the clock. Regardless of whether you’re at home or on site (the system is just as effective for commercial showrooms as it is for home use), video monitoring provides constant surveillance - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Affordable Protection, Made for You
As effective as it is, one of the biggest benefits with Proactive Video Monitoring is that it’s also affordable. Regardless of whether you have a single car or a collection, you’ve obviously invested a lot in it, so ensuring that investment remains in your possession – and in optimal, unspoiled condition – makes the cost of Proactive Video Monitoring worth it.
This modern video security solution can be tailored to your needs, covering every blind spot and entry point. The system is scalable, too, so as your collection, dealership or showroom grows, Proactive Video Monitoring can grow with you.
Give your classic the guardian it deserves; invest in a Proactive Video Monitoring solution that delivers unparalleled security and ultimate peace of mind.
