Security for properties
Parking lot security cameras installed and managed
Cameras on poles and building corners record to a recorder on your property, with plate reading at the entrance, for lots from Charleston to Savannah.
Site coverage strategy
Covering entrances, aisles and edges
Open ground has only a few ways in, so a handful of cameras in right places cover entrances, aisles and edges. Footage stays on a recorder on your property.
- 1
Entrance and exits
Plate cameras at gates and driveways capture arriving vehicles. A second context camera records general activity.
- 2
Aisles and rows
Bullet cameras on light poles look down long sightlines across parked cars, recording motion and activity along fences and parking rows.
- 3
Building edges and waste area
Turret and dome cameras on building corners cover walkways and dumpsters, recording after-hours dumping and trespassing on property edges.
Camera coverage for your specific property type
Lots across the coast need different coverage. Select your property type to see specific camera setups for capturing plates, monitoring after-hours activity and watching outdoor equipment.

Placement plan for parking lot cameras
Select a position to see camera bodies that suit specific spots and what they record. Placements cover entrances, long rows and dark corners for continuous coverage.
Select a numbered camera position
1. Entrance
Driveway plate reader
Plate camera
Plate cameras mount at most 5 meters high and 2 to 12 meters from plates, under a 25-degree angle. A second context camera records the vehicle at night.
2. Light pole
Aisle and row coverage
Bullet camera
Bullet cameras attach to light poles to watch long sightlines across aisles. Footage captures motion along parked cars and fences.
3. Building corner
Exterior wall mount
Turret camera on arm mount
Arm mounts attach turret cameras to building corners, overseeing walkways and immediate parking spots beside structures.
4. Waste area
Dumpster and waste coverage
Vandal-resistant dome camera
Dome cameras resist vandalism at waste areas. Schedules set on the alert system notify managers of after-hours dumping or trespassing.
5. Pedestrian gate
Dock and gate tracking
Pan-tilt-zoom camera
Pan-tilt-zoom cameras watch pedestrian or dock gates, offering zoom and motion tracking. System alerts can steer cameras automatically toward detected activity.
6. Far corner
Panoramic wide view
Panoramic 180-degree camera
Panoramic cameras cover far corners of the lot, recording a wide area from a single point.
Positions are an example plan; every lot is surveyed first.
Managing footage and exporting clips
System tools manage detection, alerts and video sharing. Each step shows the manufacturer's own diagram or screenshot.
Diagram and screenshots are the manufacturer's own.
Recording clear video in dark lots
Every camera uses infrared night vision and records directly to the recorder on your property, ensuring continuous coverage across dark lots even when internet connections fail.
- 1
Infrared on every camera
Built-in infrared night vision illuminates dark areas, ranging from 15 to 30 meters depending on specific camera models.
- 2
Plates and headlights
Plate cameras use a glare-cut filter to isolate license plates and headlights, while a second context camera covers vehicles and general areas.
- 3
Recording that continues
Writing footage to an on-property recorder ensures continuous operation. Enhanced retention keeps recent footage at full quality and lowers older footage resolution.
Cameras for long rows and wide lots
Single cables carry power and video to all cameras, running back to your property recorder.

- How many cameras does a parking lot need?
Entrances, aisles and edges dictate coverage, so numbers depend entirely on your specific lot geometry. Site surveys determine exact camera placement and counts.
- Do the cameras read license plates?
Yes, plate cameras read them at entrances. Mounts sit at most 5 meters high and 2 to 12 meters away, keeping angles under 25 degrees.
- What happens at night?
Infrared night vision illuminates dark spots. Plate cameras employ a glare-cut filter to isolate headlights and plates, while a second context camera captures full vehicles.
- Does footage go to the cloud or need a subscription?
Video stays securely on the recorder on your property, avoiding recurring camera fees. Detection runs directly on the camera or an onsite accessory.
- How do I get a clip to police or an insurer?
Case Manager gathers clips from several cameras, trims them and adds notes. Exports bundle a zip of clips with a PDF description.
- How does a property start and where do you cover?
Coverage begins with a site survey. Service areas include Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort and Savannah.
