Car dealerships face a unique security challenge: high-value assets, large open lots, and constant after-hours risk. Traditional guards help—but they can’t be everywhere, all the time.

That’s where Remote Guarding comes in.

By combining AI-powered video monitoring with trained live operators, OHZ delivers real-time response to real-world threats—without the high cost of full-time patrols.

⚠️ The Problem: Auto Dealerships Are Prime Targets

From catalytic converter theft to full vehicle heists, car dealerships are frequent victims of crime.

The risks include:

  • Open-air exposure: No walls or roofs means higher vulnerability
  • Expensive inventory: Each vehicle is a potential loss
  • Large perimeters: Hard to cover with one or two guards
  • After-hours gaps: Most crimes happen at night, when no one’s watching

In many cases, security footage only shows what happened after the loss.

👮‍♂️ Why Traditional Security Falls Short

Hiring on-site guards feels secure—but in practice, there are serious drawbacks:

  • Blind spots and limited field of view
  • Fatigue and missed incidents during long shifts
  • Delayed response in large lots
  • High costs for 24/7 coverage (especially multiple guards)

Even with regular patrols, one guard can’t see everything at once.

🛰 Remote Guarding: A Smarter Way to Protect Your Lot

OHZ Remote Guarding monitors your entire dealership in real time.

Here’s how it works:

  1. AI-Powered Cameras scan your lot 24/7
  2. Smart Threat Detection spots suspicious behavior instantly
  3. Live Operators issue voice warnings through speakers
  4. Police Are Notified while the threat is unfolding
  5. Every Incident Is Logged and reviewed for accountability

Instead of just recording crime, we stop it before it happens.

💸 Lower Costs, Higher ROI

Remote guarding costs up to 80% less than hiring multiple physical guards—while delivering better visibility and faster reactions.

  • Reduce theft and property damage
  • Minimize liability and insurance claims
  • Get full documentation for every incident
  • Free up your team to focus on sales—not surveillance

🧩 Case Example: How One Dealership Prevented a Break-In

At 2:41 AM, OHZ detected movement near the back gate of a dealership. A live guard issued a voice warning. The intruder fled. No damage occurred.
