Security Cameras & Video Surveillance for Car Dealerships

The risk of theft and vandalism occurring in car dealerships is high if there are no security camera systems in place. Auto dealerships have expensive and valuable inventory making them very attractive targets to criminals. Because of this, the installation of IP surveillance cameras becomes a necessity on any Long Island car lot.

Take Action – Keep Thieves Out of Your Dealership at Night

Almost any installed video surveillance system can be used by our central station operators to verify if the alarm signal they received requires action or not.

When a thief enters the lot they are immediately audio challenged over the loudspeakers, quickly letting them know they have been identified and that they should move on before police arrive.

Track Inventory – Know Where Your Cars Are

The right placement of video surveillance cameras for your auto dealership will allow you to view your inventory, showroom, parts counter, and service areas in real time from behind your desk, at home or at work.

Deter Lawsuits
