Automotive Dealership Security Program: Titan's Affordable Video Surveillance Solution
- Video Monitoring,
- Auto Dealership Security
These are trying times. Everything is more expensive. Gasoline, electronics, metals, items all cost more than even a year ago. Automotive dealership security is no exception and automobile dealers know this more than anyone. The prices of cars and trucks are rising, and that holds true for the individual parts that comprise the whole.
That makes car dealerships prime targets for thieves who are looking to break into lots after hours, to steal as many parts as possible, and escape with the goods — and expensive goods at that.
Automotive Dealership Security Numbers Tell the Story
Dealership vehicles and auto parts theft are increasing, principally because thieves can sneak onto your premises, steal them right off your vehicles, and resell them for a hefty price.
The 2020 statistics are staggering:
- The number of vehicles stolen nationwide was up 11.8 percent over 2019, totaling 724,872 thefts.
- That same year vehicles were stolen at a rate of 246.0 per 100,000 people — the highest rate since 2009, when the rate was 259.2.
- The 246 per 100,000 people vehicle theft rate in 2020 rose from 220.8 in 2019.
Cameras Alone Aren’t Enough
Tired of falling victim to such theft, upgrading their automotive dealership security measures, dealers think they’re doing the right thing by installing expensive traditional camera systems that they believe will protect their inventory.
However, most of these cameras just record suspicious activity – but don’t stop it! Plus, coverage isn’t always ideal as secondary storage lots often aren’t covered or, if there’s no electric power to the lot, cameras can’t function.
Many auto dealership owners further opt for on-site security guards. While the physical presence of a guard can be a step in the right direction, the costs can really add up. An on-site guard can cost a dealership anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000 or more per month.
Further, there’s no guarantee that on-site guards are always on patrol or show up to the dealership site at all. Oftentimes guards will spend a good portion of their shift sitting in their car, particularly during cold or inclement weather. That leaves your dealership exposed to theft, while you’re losing money.
