Smarter Security for Multi-Site Car Wash Operators




One Partner for Every Car Wash Security Need
Stop After-Hours Incidents and Equipment Theft Before They Cost You
Virtual Perimeter Guard
AI-powered cameras detect people and vehicles in restricted zones after hours and automatically issue voice-down warnings backed by strobe lights. When threats persist, the system escalates to Interface’s US-based Interactive Security Operations Center (iSOC), where trained intervention specialists take over in real time.
