I travel a lot, and whenever I find myself in a new place, I try to avoid renting a car. Not only do I enjoy the convenience of public transportation (I can zone out and listen to a podcast instead of watching the road and listening to my GPS—what’s not to love?) but I’ve also heard one too many horror stories about car rentals gone wrong. From car crashes to break-ins, a lot can go awry when cars are involved.

And since cars are magnets for trouble, it’s no surprise that parking lots are particularly disaster-prone. In fact, parking lots are the second most common location for property crimes and the third most common location for violent crimes. More than 50,000 crashes occur and over 60,000 people are injured in parking lots every year.

Parking lots are vulnerable to various security risks, including theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access. As a business owner, it is crucial to recognize the importance of implementing reliable security measures to protect your parking lot. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the significance of mobile business security systems for parking lots. By exploring their role in deterring crime, enhancing surveillance, and providing immediate response capabilities, you'll gain a clear understanding of why investing in such systems is vital for the safety and integrity of your parking facility.

4 REASONS TO ADD A MOBILE BUSINESS SECURITY UNIT TO YOUR PARKING LOT

KEEP EYES ON YOUR PROPERTY 24/7

Adding a mobile business security unit to your parking lot allows you to monitor your lot and deter crime 24/7. LVT Units are built to work. They don’t require wires, internet, or power, so your security system remains operational no matter what. You’ll gain peace of mind knowing that your lot is safe and secure even when the power goes out or during inclement weather.

Another perk of adding a mobile security unit to your lot is that you’ll no longer be tied to a desk or constrained by business hours. You’ll get round-the-clock lot monitoring and crime deterrence without the hassle of maintaining a dedicated team, and you’ll be able to check in on things no matter where you are or what you’re doing. It's a cost-effective solution that allows you to prioritize your to-do list without letting security fall through the cracks.

ENHANCE SURVEILLANCE 

Investing in a parking lot security mobile system for your business will significantly enhance safety and security, especially if you previously had minimal surveillance measures in place. The human eye is great, but there is no denying that technology can see things the naked eye can’t. 

Wireless security camera systems designed specifically for businesses offer extensive coverage, minimizing blind spots, and enabling comprehensive monitoring of high-risk areas. These systems employ high-tech sensors that guarantee clear footage even in adverse conditions, such as inclement weather, low-light scenarios, or other challenges that can hinder effective video surveillance.

With our advanced camera systems, you can trust that your parking lot is being actively monitored, and potential security threats will not go unnoticed.

INCREASE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION (AND SALES)

The mere presence of a surveillance trailer in a parking lot is a huge deterrent for criminals. In fact, we’ve seen that incidents in parking lots decrease by up to 70% when an LVT uUnit is deployed. This significant reduction in parking lot incidents directly translates to increased peace of mind for the people who park in your lot. When customers feel safe and secure, they are more likely to have a positive shopping experience, resulting in higher levels of satisfaction.

By prioritizing security and creating a safe parking lot environment, you’ll reap the benefits of increased customer satisfaction and improved sales. 

RESPOND IMMEDIATELY AND PROSECUTE EFFECTIVELY

Having a parking lot security mobile system that provides real-time alerts can be a game changer—a life saver, even. Prompt notification allows for quick action to be taken. In the best-case scenarios, the ability to intervene promptly can prevent unwanted activities from escalating into more significant legal matters. Quick action also leads to better outcomes. For example, stolen vehicles have a 34% recovery rate when they are reported in the first 24 hours. 

Furthermore, if (and when) crimes do take place, context is crucial to effective prosecution. Even if you luck out and have an eye witness, human memory is fallible. Recorded footage, on the other hand, makes it easy to gather information, identify culprits, and build a strong case for prosecution. Recorded activity also serves as concrete evidence that can be presented in court, aiding in the pursuit of justice.

By investing in a reliable mobile security system, you can safeguard your business, prevent potential losses, and maintain a trusted reputation.
