Parking Lots & Vehicle Lots
Eyes on every row all night - camera trailers and patrol robots stop theft before it starts.
Parking lots and open vehicle lots rent mobile camera trailers and patrol robots from Service Robot Co. A solar-powered trailer watches the whole lot for less than one overnight guard - no power, no permits, live the same day.
Theft works the hours after close. Here is how the lot stays covered without a guard post.
Stage 01
The last staff leave and the inventory sits in the open.
What the robot takes
The camera trailer switches to overnight watch, mast up.
Stage 02
Break-ins and catalytic-converter theft peak after midnight.
What the robot takes
Cameras cover every row at once; one guard never could.
Stage 03
Someone crosses the line and the clock starts.
What the robot takes
Strobes and loudspeakers fire on site, in seconds.
Stage 04
When something happens, the police need something to work with.
What the robot takes
The event is captured and ready to hand over.
Stage 05
Staff return to a lot that made it through the night.
What the robot takes
The unit recharges on solar and resets for tonight.

Average cost of a break-in across theft, vandalism, and property damage at commercial sites. High-value sites routinely see far larger single-incident losses.

Average law-enforcement response time to a property-crime call in the US runs 11-14 minutes. On-site deterrents intervene in seconds, before the loss happens.

One mast has to see every row. Placement decides coverage.
Solar, battery, and built-in cellular mean a bare lot works. No trenching, no permits.
Decks and large paved surfaces can take a scrubber on a schedule.
The repetitive, physical, hard-to-staff ground in parking lots & vehicle lots. This is what a robot takes.
Open lots are a theft target the moment they go dark. Catalytic-converter theft, break-ins, and vandalism all spike in the hours after close, when one guard walking the perimeter cannot see every row at once and the cost of that guard often exceeds the lot's nightly revenue. A mobile camera trailer changes the math: 30-ft mast, up to nine cameras, 360° coverage, loudspeaker and strobe deterrents - and it brings its own power and cellular connection, so there is no wait on utilities, no permitting, no trenching.
The deployment model works for lot operators: because the trailer rents monthly and relocates per move, you can cover a seasonal surface lot in summer, a construction overflow lot during a build, and a dealership lot in winter - one unit, moved where the exposure is. We deliver it, set it up in under 30 minutes, and it is watching before you leave the site.
A few questions to narrow it down. Answer yes or no and we will tell you where it leads.
Question 01
Does your lot sit unguarded overnight with inventory that could be targeted (vehicles, equipment, materials)?
Yes - after-hours is the gap
A mobile camera trailer is the fit. It covers the lot with a 30-ft mast, up to nine cameras, and loudspeaker and strobe deterrents - solar-powered, live the same day, no permanent infrastructure.
No
Next: Do you need to sweep large surface-lot paving or parking decks on a cleaning schedule?
Question 02
Do you need to sweep large surface-lot paving or parking decks on a cleaning schedule?
Yes - floor cleaning is needed
A large-area scrubber handles large paved surfaces on a schedule. We deploy it, map the route, and keep it serviced.

Rent from us
One cost. We carry the machine, the service, and the spare.
Upfront cost
One predictable monthly rental.
Maintenance
Included. We service it and carry the parts.
When it breaks
We swap in a backup unit and you keep your schedule.
Scaling
Add units for the busy months, hand them back after.
Who owns the risk
We own the machine, the service, and the downtime.
Buy it yourself
The machine is yours. So is everything after.
Upfront cost
$4-50k per machine, before it does a day of work.
Maintenance
Your team, or a service contract you manage.
When it breaks
You lose the time while it waits on a fix.
