Protecting vehicle yards and dealerships

The stock stands in the open, and every single item can be driven away.

The entire stock is parked outside, unattended at night.

A car dealership, a used-car lot or a fleet yard differs from most sites in one respect: the whole stock stands outside. Locked, yes, but ready to move. Goods have to be carried out of a warehouse – a car is simply driven away.

And the loss is rarely the whole vehicle. Catalytic converters, wheels, mirrors and fuel go far more often. They are gone in minutes, and by morning all you can see is that something is missing – not when it happened, or who was there.

Protecting vehicle yards and dealerships

  1. 01

    We walk the site after dark

    We do not place cameras on a map. We come out in the evening to see where someone could get in unnoticed, and where the most valuable vehicles stand.

  2. 02

    We divide the stock into zones

    The showroom, the outdoor rows, the service queue and the write-offs each need a different level of attention.

  3. 03

    We read number plates at the gate

    Who came in, when, and when they left. At a dealership this is also evidence during test drives and handovers.

  4. 04

    At night we switch to virtual guarding

    The operator answers movement immediately with a voice challenge, and sends a response unit if needed.

What does the service include?

  • Camera coverage of the whole yard that also works at night
  • Video analytics that tells people from vehicles
  • Number plate recognition at the entrance and the exit
  • Virtual guarding after closing, with voice challenge
  • Response unit in case of an alarm
  • On-site guards during opening hours where it is justified

What can you expect?

Nothing disappears without a trace

Every movement is recorded with a timestamp and the number plate.

Fewer parts stolen

The most common targets – catalytic converters, wheels, fuel – get particular attention.

Damage disputes can be settled

Recorded footage of the condition a car was in when it drove in and out.

Frequently asked questions

01 What can be done about cars standing outside?

We divide the yard into zones and switch to virtual guarding at night: the operator answers movement with a voice challenge before anything disappears. A fence cannot react – an operator can.

02 What protects against catalytic converter theft?

Low-mounted cameras that also see under the vehicles, plus analytics that raise an alarm on movement. Thieves work in minutes, so what matters is not the recording but the immediate response.

03 What is number plate recognition good for at a dealership?

It records which vehicle drove in and out, and when. It is evidence for test drives, deliveries and damage disputes alike, with no paper log to keep.

Decorative animation; it carries no information.
