Gas Monkey Garage, the famous automotive custom shop and entertainment brand created by Richard Rawlings of Fast N’ Loud TV, has launched a new restaurant and bar in South Dakota equipped with advanced IDIS video technology. Installed by KB Technologies, the solution delivers security, safety, and operational efficiency for one of the region’s most vibrant community venues.

The site is steeped in biking history and doubles as a museum, while also hosting high-energy events throughout the year, including the legendary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. This year’s rally celebrated its 85th anniversary with 537,459 vehicles counted—the highest participation in years—drawing crowds for motorcycles, leather, music, and food.

To meet such demands, the IDIS video system operates 24/7, ensuring smooth business operations and customer safety even during peak times. The fully NDAA-compliant solution provides Richard Rawlings and his senior team full visibility from their Dallas headquarters or remotely on their phones and tablets.

The system integrates high-performance cameras, NVRs, VMS, and the IDIS Mobile Plus app. IDIS 5MP AI IR Dome Cameras deliver outstanding images in challenging conditions, supported by LightMaster NIR technology for full night vision, and enhanced by Intelligent Codec compression to reduce bandwidth and storage needs.

AI-powered functions such as object detection, classification, and behavior analysis provide accurate, automated alerts, while IDIS 5MP Fisheye Cameras enable complete coverage of wide areas at lower equipment and maintenance costs. The free IDIS Center VMS simplifies management with intuitive tools and customizable user permissions.

Additional benefits include Smart Failover to prevent data loss, multi-layered cyber protection, long product lifecycles, and industry-leading low TCO. The system’s scalability ensures Gas Monkey won’t face outdated infrastructure as it continues to grow.

“This project will evolve as Gas Monkey expands,” noted Keith Daulton, Regional Sales Director, South Central US. “Our scalable technology makes upgrades seamless and future-proof.” Richard Rawlings summed it up: “The IDIS system at Gas Monkey Sturgis is badass! Crystal-clear video, remote access, and top-notch security—it’s a total game-changer. When thousands of people roll through during the Rally, you need eyes on everything, and IDIS delivers. It keeps us secure, smooth, and makes sure the party never stops.”
