For most businesses, leaving millions of dollars of company assets sitting in the parking lot would be unthinkable, but for new car dealerships, that's just the nature of the business. New car dealerships are prime targets for theft and vandalism, with thieves coveting their high-value inventory. 

With large numbers of vehicles spread across expansive lots, traditional security cameras and guarding solutions can struggle to cover all areas. Protecting your inventory is critical. Nearly 700,000 vehicles are stolen annually in the US, with 4 out of 10 car thefts occurring at auto dealerships.

LotGuard provides a complete surveillance and security solution specifically designed to put a stop to auto dealership crime.

Flexible Rental Options

Surveillance Camera Rental for New Car Dealerships

Installing a video surveillance system is one of the most effective ways to protect and secure your vehicle inventory from theft and criminal damage.

LotGuard’s mobile surveillance trailers provide a strong, visible presence at your dealership, acting as a proven deterrent that helps stop crime before it happens.

However, purchasing surveillance equipment outright can be expensive, and keeping up with rapidly advancing security technology adds to the cost. In many cases, dealerships and vehicle storage sites only require short-term or seasonal protection, making ownership less practical.

LotGuard’s rental options offer a cost-effective and flexible alternative. You can hire the surveillance equipment you need, when you need it, without a long-term commitment. This approach allows you to:

  • Scale your security coverage based on changing inventory or risk levels

  • Access the latest surveillance technology without large capital expenses

  • Deploy protection quickly for temporary lots, overflow areas, or high-risk periods

With LotGuard’s rental program, you get complete flexibility and professional-grade security without the high upfront investment.

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.
