For Auto Dealers
Halstead builds auto dealership security around full lot camera coverage, license plate readers at entry and exit points, after-hours monitoring, and integration with dealership management systems. Designed for franchise dealers, independent lots, and Buy-Here-Pay-Here operations.
An auto dealership has $1M to $20M in inventory parked outside, often unattended at night. Vehicle theft, catalytic converter theft, vandalism, and showroom break-ins are common. Most dealerships rely on outdated DVR systems, low-quality cameras, and after-hours patrols that aren't always there.
Halstead deploys high-resolution cameras across the entire lot with strategic license plate reader (LPR) cameras at entry and exit points. Vehicle motion at off-hours triggers immediate alerts. License plate logs create a record of every vehicle that entered or exited. Optional 24/7 active monitoring through a UL-listed central station partner provides verified threat response.
Key features
8MP and 4K cameras provide enough detail to identify vehicles, vehicle damage, and people across the entire lot. Coverage includes inventory rows, customer parking, employee lot, and showroom interior.
LPR cameras at entry and exit points log every plate that enters or leaves the lot. Searchable by plate, time range, or movement direction. Integrates with dealership management systems for test-drive tracking.
After business hours, motion in inventory areas triggers verified alerts. UL-listed central station operators view the camera, confirm the threat, and dispatch police directly — typically faster than alarm-only response.
Interior coverage of showroom, sales offices, F&I rooms, and customer waiting areas with audit logging for sensitive financial transactions.
AI motion patterns detect under-vehicle activity that suggests catalytic converter or battery theft attempts. Immediate alerts during off-hours.
Halstead's auto dealer tier integrates with major DMS systems (Reynolds, CDK, Dealertrack) for inventory verification, test-drive tracking, and stock loss reconciliation.
