Mobile Surveillance and Live Video Monitoring for Dealerships

Auto dealerships face significant security challenges when high-value vehicle inventory is left unattended after business hours. Incidents involving vehicle theft, catalytic converter theft, and vandalism can result in costly losses, operational disruption, and increased pressure on dealership staff.

LotGuard combines mobile surveillance equipment with AI-powered detection and live video monitoring to help dealerships identify suspicious activity earlier. When monitoring services are included, trained operators can assess alerts and take appropriate action under agreed response procedures, rather than relying solely on footage reviewed after an incident.

Whether protecting an individual dealership or managing security across multiple locations, LotGuard helps automotive businesses strengthen after-hours oversight, support investigations, and reduce the burden on on-site teams.

Auto Dealership Security Success Story

How LotGuard Helped Lithia Motors Strengthen Dealership Security

See how one of America's largest automotive retailers used solar-powered mobile surveillance to address recurring security incidents at a dealership without access to permanent power.

Lithia Motors: Tackling Vandalism and Vehicle Break-Ins

A Lithia Motors dealership was experiencing vandalism, vehicle break-ins and unauthorized loitering, putting valuable inventory at risk. Without a permanent power supply, the site needed a security solution that could operate independently of existing infrastructure.

LotGuard deployed a solar-powered LotGuard PRO surveillance trailer with daytime audio alerts, nighttime live video monitoring and remote footage access for dealership managers. Following deployment, Lithia reported that the recurring security issues at that location had been resolved.

"Affordable and a 24/7 watchdog for our location" - Moose Pohyar, General Manager, Lithia Motors.
