Auto theft from U.S. dealer lots is up sharply since 2022 — and modern crews are organized, fast and gone in under four minutes. Cameras alone don't stop them. Live monitoring with verified response does.
Lot coverage that actually deters
- Perimeter cameras with LPR (license plate recognition) at every entry.
- Aisle cameras between vehicle rows with motion analytics.
- Service-bay interior cameras (catalytic converter theft is now an inside-the-bay event).
- Key-room dome with audit log integration.
Talk-down placement
One outdoor talk-down speaker per 30,000 sq ft of lot, weather-rated, mounted high. Our operators address intruders by clothing color and direction — "Gentleman in the gray hoodie walking toward row 3, you are being recorded and police have been notified." Attempted thefts almost always end there.
Insurance & GAP partner reporting
Modern monitoring platforms generate the timestamped event packet your insurer and OEM need within minutes — not the 48 hours it used to take to pull DVR clips.
