Monitoring Customer Activity
Auto dealerships face the challenge of providing easy access for customers, while protecting their business from crime. A large percentage of car buyers are walk-ins, so security systems must be unobtrusive to customers. And while it’s unusual for auto thieves to strike in the daytime, it’s not unusual for them to be casing the lot.
Inventory remains outdoors, providing thieves the opportunity to do reconnaissance and plan ways to breach security. Protecting gates and fence lines is a good start, but to provide total security, providing intervention to prevent theft and vandalism is paramount. Even showrooms are not impenetrable. And traditional alarm systems rely on quick response times in order to stop a crime in progress.
A live remote video monitoring service that’s modular and adaptable deters theft and vandalism in real-time, in all the required locations.
Proactive vs. Reactive Remote Video Monitoring
Reactionary monitoring results in a stolen vehicle leaving the dealership, wheel and tire theft, or costly repairs due to vandalism. Securing assets and property requires a proactive approach.
Many auto dealerships purchase or rent a traditional surveillance system that is installed on-site. They record video using a DVR, and are either monitored by internal staff, or outsourced to a third party monitoring company utilizing cabled internet on site.
These approaches to security result in the acquisition of video evidence of a crime, after the crime took place.
Not only does this reactionary approach fail to deter crime, but it is fraught with issues related to internet connectivity, cable lines, and power outages that leave you unprotected.
Our innovative approach provides a proactive approach to securing auto dealerships.

Our security units are standard equipped with one ultra-high-resolution PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera for conducting live patrols and zooming in to capture court quality evidence. The PTZ, as well as the two included stationary cameras, utilize state-of-the-art night-vision technology to produce ‘near daylight’ images even in the darkest areas.

An internal expansion port allows for additional optional equipment, like license plate readers, thermal cameras, and more.
A unit’s standard video recording capacity is 21 days, with an optional expandable hard drive that provides up to 18 weeks of video storage.
These units are lightweight, so they can be mounted to virtually any surface. They operate on less than 60 watts of power, and solar kits are an option when power is not available. Utilizing NEMA 4X rated enclosures ensures our video security units are protected from dust, debris, and the elements, such as rain, sleet, snow and ice.
How do we keep your auto dealership secure?
Due to the open layout of dealership lots, they require a proactive video security solution that detects and deters crime, in real-time. Our live remote video monitoring service sets the standard for effective auto dealerships security monitoring.
Our monitoring operators utilize advanced artificial intelligence driven analytics, to capture court quality evidence of suspicious or criminal activity in progress with high-resolution cameras. They can communicate with individuals on your property through live two-way communications speakers onboard our units.
Monitoring professionals are able to distinguish between suspicious and criminal activity and after-hours shoppers. For instance, if visitors are just browsing inventory after-hours, our operators can issue a voice command stating the hours of operations and how to schedule a sales visit. If a visitor is determined to be suspicous or a threat, voice commands are used to to deter criminal activity by calling out the trespassers’ specific actions in real-time. This is an effective tool for deterring and preventing theft and damage.
Investigations & Video Review
Auto dealerships experience a constant flow of people and vehicles coming and going. This is why our security units record 24/7, even outside of monitoring hours, to capture incidents that may occur. Our units feature an industry-leading storage capacity of 21 days, with an option to increase capacity to 18 weeks.
Auto dealerships often experience non-criminal incidents that require documentation. That’s why capturing video footage outside of monitoring hours can be crucial for both insurance and client-facing purposes. With syncroMonitoring you no longer need to comb through footage yourself. Just send a request to our Investigations & Video Review team and they’ll review and find the video evidence you’re seeking.
Whether you’re searching for accidental or intentional damage, or specific vehicles arriving and departing, our team is available to investigate. Once they finish a review of the video footage, they’ll provide you with a thorough report, including high-resolution photos and video evidence.
This is commercial auto dealership video surveillance made simple.
