New South Dakota Restaurant Integrates AI-Enhanced Video Technology from IDIS Americas

Gas Monkey Garage, the automotive custom shop and entertainment brand founded by Richard Rawlings of Fast N’ Loud TV fame, has opened a new restaurant and bar in South Dakota, equipped with AI-enhanced video technology from IDIS Americas.
The IDIS video solution ensures safety and security at the location’s annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and helps keep the business running smoothly.
Installed by KB Technologies, Gas Monkey’s integrator, the NDAA-compliant solution gives Rawlings and his senior team full visibility not just from their workstations at their Dallas HQ, but also while on the move, with system control via their phones and tablets. It comprises cameras, network recorders, VMS operating software, and the IDIS Mobile Plus app
IDIS 5MP AI IR Dome Cameras deliver quality even in variable and challenging lighting conditions thanks to IDIS LightMaster NIR technology. The cameras support H.265 combined with IDIS’s patented Intelligent Codec video compression technology. Their AI capabilities include object detection, classification, and behavior analysis.
IDIS 5MP Fisheye Cameras provide Gas Monkey Garage with a route to achieving complete scene coverage of wide areas in high definition.
The IDIS solution also comes with Smart Failover protection against video data loss in the event of network failure; multi-layered cybersecurity protection; extended product life and warranties; and upgrade options.
“This project will evolve and grow as Gas Monkey continues to expand,” said Keith Daulton, regional director of sales, South Central U.S. “Our flexible, scalable technology will allow seamless upgrades and system expansion, meaning Gas Monkey Garage will never be stuck with outdated video infrastructure that’s a barrier to growth.”
Rawlings said, “This setup has been a total game-changer for us. When you’ve got thousands of people rolling through during the Sturgis Rally, you need eyes on everything, and IDIS delivers. It’s helped us keep things locked down and running smoothly, making sure the party never stops.”
