A couple of years ago, a friend of mine called me fuming after leaving work to find his catalytic converter had been sawed off of his car. It happened in broad daylight. His employer had no cameras or security measures in their lot. He showed up for work like he’d done hundreds of times before, but this time, he was rewarded with a stolen catalytic converter and a costly car repair.
Unfortunately, his experience is all too common. Parking lots are prime targets for theft, vandalism, and worse. They're the second most common location for property crimes and the third most common location for violent crimes. But the good news is that there are steps you can take to get ahead of criminals and reduce the likelihood of these kinds of problems—you just need the right tools in your security toolkit. That’s where LiveView Technologies (LVT) comes in.
In this article, we’ll explain why LVT's mobile security solutions are the best option for enhancing safety in commercial spaces and how to integrate them into your security ecosystem.
WHY LVT IS THE BEST SURVEILLANCE SOLUTION FOR COMMERCIAL SPACES
When it comes to keeping your commercial spaces secure, not all surveillance solutions are created equal. Let's explore what sets LVT Units apart.
QUICK DEPLOYMENT AND SETUP
There are some things in life that need to be addressed quickly, and securing your lot is one of them. Waiting means risking potential criminal activity that can be costly and even life threatening. The longer your space remains unmonitored and insecure, the greater the opportunity for unwanted events to occur. LVT Units are deployed quickly and can be set up in minutes (yes, really). Because they don’t require wired connections or heavy drilling, setup is a breeze.
SIZE MATTERS
LVT Units were designed to be big enough to make their presence known, but compact enough that they can fit inside a single parking stall. Their noticeable size makes them the ultimate overt surveillance solution. Their presence alone deters criminal activity—parking lot incidents are reduced by 70% when a LVT Unit is deployed. At the same time, they’re compact so that they don’t take up valuable real estate, which means flow of traffic and parking availability are never compromised.
SMARTER SURVEILLANCE
Incident prevention is only part of the value LVT Units bring. When suspicious activity does arise, real-time notifications facilitate rapid response. With LVT, you get access to live feeds day or night, from anywhere you have an internet connection. Plus, recorded footage of your lot is stored in the cloud, which means easy access to evidence and more efficient investigation and prosecution.
ULTIMATE COVERAGE AND RELIABILITY
LVT trailers deliver serious monitoring muscle. Our professional outdoor security cameras and sophisticated technology provide complete coverage for lots of any size. These high-definition cameras are also extremely reliable because they are backed by solar power and backup generators. Come rain or shine, power outage or internet failure, LVT cameras never blink.
INTEGRATING LVT UNITS IN YOUR PARKING LOT
LVT Units are exceptionally easy to deploy and set up, but there are some additional steps you should take before and after to maximize your results.
ASSESS YOUR NEEDS
Before adding LVT Units to your lot, you need to consider the specific requirements of your property. Ask yourself questions like:
- How large is the area?
- What types of incidents are common?
- Are there particular hotspots that require focused attention?
- Are there any current security measures in place?
- How does traffic flow in and out of the parking lot?
The answers to the above questions will help you determine how many professional outdoor security cameras you need and where to position them for optimal results. Luckily, our team has dealt with it all. Whether you’re dealing with natural or man-made obstructions, limited space, or some other obstacle, we’ll work with you to make sure your lot has surveillance where you need it and when you need it.
CONFIGURATION AND TRAINING
Once your LVT Units are set up, the next step is configuring the software to your specific needs. This involves setting up alerts, monitoring protocols, and access permissions for various members of your security team. Once that’s taken care of, making sure necessary personnel know how, when, and why to use LVT’s hardware and software solutions is paramount. Combining human power with the power of technology is extremely effective, but you need to make sure everyone is on the same page.
EMBRACE PROACTIVE PROTECTION WITH LVT
Rather than reacting to misfortunes, get ahead of threats by partnering with the leader in mobile surveillance. LVT Units make secure parking lots an easily achievable goal. Their strategic size, quick deployment, and smart surveillance capabilities set a new standard for parking lot security. By adding LVT Units to your lot, you not only provide a safer environment but also invest in peace of mind for everyone who uses your space.
If you're serious about enhancing the safety of your commercial space, there’s no better time than now to integrate LVT Units. Schedule a consultation with LVT today and take the first step toward a more secure future.
