Video monitoring for dealerships
and rental lots.
A dealership or rental branch leaves its most valuable stock outside, in rows, in view of the road, every night. Vehicle thieves can move quickly, and a lot camera that only records tells you in the morning which car is gone. Riowell guards watch the lot rows, the gates and the service entrances live overnight, so someone walking the rows or working at a door is seen while they are still on the lot.
For rental operators the same cameras do a second job. Every event a guard logs becomes a clip with its time and camera, the recorder on site keeps recording if the internet drops, and you see the cameras and clips in your own app, from one branch or several.
On car dealerships and rental lots, the zones that matter
Lot rows and the frontage
People on foot between the rows, and a vehicle that pulls in after hours and stops beside the stock.
Gates and exits
Vehicles moving through the lot entrances when nothing should be leaving.
Service bays and the key area
Doors to the service drive, parts storage and the room where keys are kept.
The rental return lane
After-hours returns, so an event at the drop-off is on a clip with its time.
Written with you before monitoring starts
- Overnight and weekend hours, matched to when the showroom or counter is closed.
- Which rows, bays and doors are restricted, and which staff may be on site late.
- Who is called first: the manager on call, then police when a theft is seen in progress.
Survey, install, then monitoring
- 01
Site survey
We walk your property, ideally once after dark, and look at each camera as a live view rather than a recording: what a guard could actually see and act on. We check the site's internet connection and where people really get in.
- 02
Install
Our own technicians install or adjust cameras where a view can't be acted on, fit the recorder that keeps recording on site, and set up your app. Where your existing cameras are up to it, we use them.
- 03
Monitoring starts
Your site, camera map and protocol go to the guards, and monitoring starts. We review the first week of events with you and tune the zones so your phone rings for things that matter.
