Southwest Toyota Enhances Safety and Security with Verkada CCTV and Alarms
Overview
Southwest Toyota, with dealerships in Manjimup, Narrogin, and Katanning, is a trusted automotive brand serving regional Western Australia. To safeguard staff, customers, and valuable assets, Southwest Toyota partnered with Cloudifi to implement a cutting-edge Verkada CCTV and Alarms solution featuring smoke detectors and motion sensors with 24 hour Verkada external monitoring.
The Challenge
Operating across three regional sites, Southwest Toyota needed a unified, cloud-based security system that could:
- Provide 24/7 remote visibility across all locations
- Replace outdated, standalone CCTV systems that required local recording hardware
- Offer real-time smoke detection and environmental monitoring for the showroom, workshops and storage areas
- Send instant alerts to management when security or safety incidents occurred
Traditional systems were difficult to manage remotely and lacked intelligent detection features. The team wanted a modern solution that was simple, reliable, and centrally managed across all sites.
The Solution: Verkada CCTV, Alarms & Smoke Detection
Cloudifi designed and deployed an integrated Verkada security solution that connects all three Southwest Toyota sites through the Verkada Command cloud platform.
Key Components:
- Verkada CCTV Cameras – High-definition cameras with analytics for clear visibility and intelligent alerts.
- Verkada Alarms – Fully integrated, cloud-managed alarm systems providing instant notifications and remote access.
- Smoke Detection – Smoke sensors that detect smoke and temperature changes, offering early fire risk alerts.
- Cloud-Based Dashboard – A single interface to monitor all sites, review footage, and manage alerts.
This Toyota dealership security system is scalable, easy to use, and fully cloud-managed — removing the need for on-site DVRs or complex maintenance.
Results and Benefits
1. Enhanced Security Across Western Australia Sites
Southwest Toyota can now monitor all three dealerships from anywhere, with live and recorded video, automated alerts, and analytics. The Verkada CCTV solution provides clarity, reliability, and visibility across every location.
2. Intelligent Smoke and Fire Detection
With integrated smoke detectors, Southwest Toyota receives instant notifications for smoke and heat — improving workshop safety and reducing risks after hours.
3. Cloud-Based Management and Easy Access

4. Reduced Maintenance and Operational Costs
