Dealership Lot Security

Dealership lot security encompasses the measures taken to protect the vehicles and property on a dealer’s lot. This can include physical security such as fencing, proper lighting, security cameras (CCTV surveillance), and alarm systems, as well as protocols like nightly lot checks by staff or security patrols. In Canada, where vehicle theft and vandalism are concerns, many dealerships also use technologies like motion sensors or GPS trackers on high-value vehicles. Lot security is not only about preventing cars from being stolen; it also covers protecting parts (like catalytic converters which can be a theft target) and ensuring employee and customer safety after hours. A secure lot lowers insurance costs and prevents disruptions to business that result from theft or damage.
