Stop Overnight Theft on Your Dealership Lot
Strixon's car dealership security monitoring puts live operators on your lot cameras from close to open. We spot people at the fence line, warn them through speakers, and call police before a single converter is cut.
The risks
What thieves come for after you close
A dealership lot is rows of high-value inventory, parked in the dark, with nobody there. Your dealership lot security cameras see it. We make sure someone acts on it.
Catalytic converters
Cut out in minutes with a battery saw, often from trucks and hybrids. Every minute of warning counts.
Wheels and tires
Cars left on blocks by morning. Organized crews work fast and quietly in the back rows.
Whole vehicles
Keys taken in break-ins, or vehicles driven straight through a weak gate.
Vandalism
Smashed windows, keyed paint and graffiti that cost you detailing time and sales.

Person over the back fence
Verified in seconds. Voice-down: "You in the dark jacket by the white pickup. You're on camera and police are being called."

Police and your GM called
They're still crouched by the truck, so we call police with a live description, then your general manager.

FAQ
Dealership monitoring FAQs
How does live monitoring help with catalytic converter theft prevention?
Converter theft takes minutes, so recorded footage is too late. Our operators see people as they reach the lot, warn them through speakers and call police while they are still there.
Can you use the dealership lot security cameras we already have?
In most cases, yes. We work with common brands including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha, Uniview, Verkada and Eagle Eye, and run a free compatibility check first.
Will you call me every time something moves?
No. Every alert is checked by a person first. You only hear from us when there is a verified event that your response plan says you should know about.
Do you cover weekends and holidays?
The Business plan covers nights and weekends. Site Pro covers 24/7, including holidays. You can also add coverage for specific dates. [Confirm holiday add-on.]
What if we have more than 8 cameras?
Add extra cameras for $40 to $60 each per month, or move to Site Pro for up to 16 cameras. Groups with several rooftops get a custom quote.
