Parking Lot Surveillance Cameras: A Complete Guide
Whether you manage a commercial parking lot, vehicle storage facility or car dealership, it must be secured against criminal activity.
Parking lots are vulnerable areas for loitering and crimes, including theft, vandalism, carjackings, and violent assaults. In fact, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 1 in 10 property crimes happen in parking lots and garages.
Parking lots attract criminals due to their seclusion and abundance of hiding spots. These criminals seek to steal property and target customers and employees as they travel to and from their cars.
Unfortunately, these criminals are conditioned to believe that parking lots are an easy target due to their lack of active security systems - and in too many cases, this is true.
