Open lots, constant vehicle movement, public access, and hours of after-hours exposure. Stop theft, fraud, and liability claims as they happen — not on the footage you review the next morning.
A dealership is four different security problems sharing one address. The lot is an open-air warehouse holding millions in inventory with no walls around it. The showroom is a public building. The service drive is a liability record waiting to be disputed. The parts department is high-value, small, and portable.
Cloudastructure treats each layer on its own terms. AI watches all of them continuously, and remote guards step in the moment something looks wrong — at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. Because the platform is camera-agnostic and fully cloud-based, that coverage layers onto the cameras you already own.
Fence lines, entrances, and inventory rows monitored with license plate recognition on every vehicle in and out.
Public-facing floor space, entrances, and key boxes — video-only coverage of a building open to anyone during business hours.
Before-and-after vehicle condition capture, so a damage claim is settled by video instead of by argument.
Restricted-area motion zones covering the small, high-value inventory that walks out most easily.
Detected at the fence line, challenged by voice before a vehicle is moved.
Organized crews work fast and quietly. AI flags the approach; a live warning ends the visit.
Dwell-time detection separates a person cutting through from a person casing the lot.
Flag former employees, banned visitors, or known problem individuals at the moment they arrive.
Crews work under a vehicle in under two minutes. Detection at the row, not a discovery at the next start-up.
Before-and-after video of every vehicle through the service drive kills the claim before it becomes a payout.
98% of detected incidents are deterred before anything is taken, across all Cloudastructure monitored sites in 2025.
Court-ready by default: Every incident is stored in the cloud with watermarked, timestamped footage available instantly to law enforcement, insurers, and internal investigators.
Log every vehicle entering or leaving the lot, gates, and service drive — a searchable record with no manual check-in.
Capture condition on intake and on delivery. False damage claims end with a clip instead of a check.
Search hours of multi-camera footage in seconds across 90+ AI tags — clothing, vehicle type, direction of travel.
Lots, rooftops, showrooms, service bays, and parts rooms across every rooftop in the group — one view, web or mobile.
Directional zones around parts rooms, key boxes, and back lots flag approach — not just generic motion.
Available where state and local law permits, and disabled by default. Several states restrict or prohibit private-sector use — we will tell you which rules apply to your rooftops before enabling it.
Works with roughly 99% of commercial-grade IP cameras already installed. Analog connects through an encoder.
Footage stored and processed in the cloud. No DVR in the back office to be stolen along with the inventory.
Send watermarked, court-ready footage to law enforcement or an insurer without exporting a file to a thumb drive.
Role-based access for GMs, service managers, F&I, and corporate — each sees only what their job requires.
Full pan-tilt-zoom from the platform so an operator can track and investigate an incident as it unfolds.
Your video and analytics are exclusively yours, always accessible, with no fee to retrieve your own data.
Continuous AI monitoring with real-time alerts, analytics, and instant footage search across every camera.
Optional live, AI-triggered monitoring you can add to any site — on top of your own team or in place of it.
A self-contained trailer or powered enclosure for sites that don't have permanent camera infrastructure yet.
Which option fits depends on the site: a trailer for fully off-grid coverage, or a powered enclosure where electrical is available but structured cabling isn't. Once a site's fixed camera network is live, coverage typically consolidates onto it.
AI Surveillance is the foundation on every site — detecting and flagging threats in real time. What happens next is your call: run AI Surveillance on its own with no live guarding, route alerts to your own security team, or add Cloudastructure's Remote Guarding for 24/7 live agents who review AI-confirmed alerts and respond in about 8 seconds, with tiered permissions so the right people see exactly what they should.
AI continuously monitors every camera across the facility, filtering noise and surfacing only genuine threats.
Because AI has already done the initial sift, one guard can actively monitor far more cameras than with traditional monitoring.
A confirmed threat gets a live voice-down warning in about 8 seconds, with escalation to law enforcement if needed.
Every monitored incident is logged and timestamped — the audit trail compliance teams and insurers ask for.
Compatible with 99% of commercial-grade IP cameras — Axis, Hanwha, Avigilon, Hikvision, Dahua, and more. No rip-and-replace across your data halls or colocation suites.
Older analog cameras in legacy rooms connect through encoders, so nothing already invested in your facility goes to waste.
Legacy cameras and on-site guards were built for a different era. They record what happened after the fact — they don't stop it. For facilities running 24/7 with minimal staff, that reactive model leaves too many gaps.
AI detection triggers live intervention before unauthorized access reaches a rack or cage.
Manage data halls, colocation suites, and regional facilities from a single dashboard.
Trained remote guards issue live voice warnings and escalate to law enforcement when needed.
Cloud-based, camera-agnostic — no costly rip-and-replace of racks already at capacity.
No forced long-term lock-in, with 24/7 customer and technical support at no extra cost.
