Automotive dealership security is crucial in protecting valuable inventory from theft and vandalism. Cars are high-value items so dealerships are often targeted by thieves looking to make a quick profit. Traditional security measures like security guards and surveillance cameras may not always be enough to effectively secure a car lot. This is where advanced portable surveillance systems like LVT come into play.
Increase Safety and Security, Eliminate Crime
Vehicle theft from car dealerships is especially problematic for business owners and employees, and it’s increasing year after year. In the past three years, vehicle theft from dealerships has increased by 7%.
LVT helps the automotive industry combat these losses and increase safety and security for their employees and customers. After partnering with customers across the country, here’s what we saw:
- 70% decrease in parking lot incidents
- 50% reduction of unwelcome behaviors
- 43% decrease in trespassing
A Mobile Solution for Large Areas
LVT offers a unique solution to car dealership security by providing portable and flexible surveillance options. These systems can be easily moved around the lot to cover areas that may not be adequately monitored by fixed cameras. With real-time monitoring capabilities, LVT allows security staff to keep a close eye on the entire property and respond quickly to any security threats.
The Cost of Car Lot Crimes
More than just being a headache for owners of car dealerships, the cost of theft and vandalism at car dealerships is exponential. When car dealers lose sales revenue and acquire repair expenses because of theft and vandalism, they experience an escalating financial burden, lose commissions on sales, and face additional challenges, all making it harder to do their job and make a profit.
