Protect Your Property with Car Dealership Surveillance Systems
Incorporating Audio, Lighting, and Remote Monitoring Ensures Proactive Protection
Car dealerships are uniquely positioned to draw the criminal element with large expansive lots that are difficult to cover, even if you're willing to pay the high cost of a security guard. Unfortunately, thieves know this all too well, as demonstrated by the FBI's data. In 2022, almost 12,000 vehicles were stolen from dealerships across the country.
Automotive News reported in January 2024 that Ally Dealership Insurance has witnessed a significant uptick in car theft insurance claims from car dealerships.
So, we know there's a problem. The question is, what are dealerships doing about it in Fort Worth, TX, and the surrounding areas? The answer is proactive car dealership surveillance systems.
Let's explore what these systems offer and how they differ from standard security cameras.

Most Common Thefts on Car Lots
Criminals often look for easy targets that offer big rewards for less risk. Unfortunately, many car dealerships fit this description. In addition to vehicles, some common targets include catalytic converters and custom accessories.
The Problem with Traditional Video Surveillance
While traditional onsite cameras can deter criminals from entering your property, once they've decided to target you, static cameras documenting the crime as it occurs do little to prevent it. At that point, their sole purpose is to provide law enforcement video that, hopefully, is high definition and can help them catch the perpetrators.
Proactive Deterrence
At Cameras Onsite, we go several steps further. First, we install high-performance security cameras with cutting-edge technology, including night vision, license plate recognition, and video analytics. We also provide bright lighting in the most susceptible areas, as poor lighting is often one of the draws in car dealerships.
These systems are integrated with live video monitoring. At Cameras Onsite, our U.S.-based monitoring team keeps watch over your dealership 24/7. Motion detectors alert both you and our team should a breach occur. Should an intruder enter your property, our monitoring team speaks to them through the onsite audio, letting them know they've been spotted while calling law enforcement. In many cases, they respond by leaving the scene immediately.
Remote access lets you check on your property anytime, view the live video feed, and use the two-way audio via your mobile device.
Rental Surveillance Units
Our all-in-one mobile rental surveillance units can be up and running at your dealership in less than a day. This provides the quick protection you need without the heavy expenditure required for a full-scale installation. These systems offer a temporary solution when there's trouble in your area or for those who have suspicions and want to see what's happening on their site. When you feel it's no longer warranted, we uninstall it, leaving you unburdened with camera storage.
At Cameras Onsite, we've protected car dealerships for over 20 years with our patented technologies that ensure the ultimate protection. To learn more about car dealership surveillance systems or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Cameras Onsite today.
