Flexible Rental Options
Surveillance Camera Rental for Auto Dealerships
One of the most effective ways to protect and secure your vehicle inventory from theft and criminal damage is to install an effective video surveillance system.
LotGuard's surveillance trailers are a visible presence at your dealerships, stopping criminals in their tracks. However, purchasing equipment can be costly, and keeping up to date with the latest technology is another cost to consider.
We also recognize that many security requirements are temporary, so purchasing surveillance equipment may not be the most cost-effective way to secure your sites.

Our cameras feature built-in AI video analytics, which can automatically detect unauthorized activity.

Case Study
Lithia Motors x LotGuard
Lithia Motors, Inc. is one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States and their dealership had faced significant security challenges, including issues with homeless individuals loitering on the property, vandalism, and vehicle break-ins.
These security concerns not only posed a threat to their valuable inventory but also affected the overall sense of safety and comfort for their customers and employees.
Due to the profile of their locations, they lacked the facilities for a permanent power supply, so they required a surveillance or security system that could operate independently of mains power.
