Exploring the Top Parking Security Systems in Texas
Professional Recommendations for Protecting Customers from Vandals and Thieves
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the third most common place for a crime to occur is parking lots. So prominent are these crimes that the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) developed a Parking Facility Safety Fact Sheet with tips to help parking lot owners create safer spaces.
TDI found that parking facilities are more prone to theft, robbery, and vandalism than most other commercial businesses. This affects not only those involved but also the business, as customers avoid parking lots where they feel unsafe and seek out places where they feel more secure.
Here, we’ll explore parking security systems and suggestions to create safer environments in your Dallas, TX, parking lot or garage.

Proper Lighting
Optimum lighting increases visibility, making potential criminals feel exposed, acting as a strong visual deterrent. It also enables your customers to see potential threats and take action quickly.
Install Security Cameras
Security cameras act as a strong deterrent, particularly those with integrated lighting and audio capabilities. Security cameras that provide optimum safety possess pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities, enabling them and those watching to zoom in on a perpetrator. Because many malicious acts occur under the cover of darkness, it’s also important that they possess night vision.
The Benefits of Mobile CCTV Cameras
When designed and installed correctly, mobile CCTV cameras offer all these parking security systems and suggestions in a consolidated format. At Cameras Onsite, we integrate cutting-edge video surveillance that includes thermal imaging and smart video analytics.
These systems spot unusual activity, such as someone looking into cars or loitering, and alert you and our U.S.-based monitoring team. You and our team can determine what is taking place by checking out the live video surveillance feed through remote viewing, enabling you to check on your business no matter where you are in the world. An immediate call to law enforcement ensures a rapid response.
Virtual Security Guard
Like a security guard with super-human spatial awareness, our professionals monitor your entire property 24/7. By integrating state-of-the-art lighting and audio, they can diffuse a security situation, alerting the person that they’ve been spotted and illuminating them with a spotlight. This interaction is often enough to stop someone from further action.
In addition to issuing audio warnings, they can also trigger alarms, speak with the person who may be in harm’s way, and keep first responders updated.

At Cameras Onsite, we provide temporary, customized security solutions. For those whose parking lots have experienced vandalism, theft, or assaults, quickly setting up mobile surveillance cameras lets customers and criminals know you’re taking action and refuse to sit idly by while security threats are occurring on your property.
