Car Wash security in Calgary
Security cameras for car washes in Calgary help owners protect wash bays, entrances and equipment, and keep a clear record when a customer reports damage. Bordo Security Ltd designs and installs security cameras, access control and alarms with 24/7 monitoring for car wash sites in Calgary and surrounding Alberta communities. With 16+ years of experience since 2010, a team of 12 specialists and 1350+ projects completed, we build systems for wet, busy and outdoor sites that need to work day and night.
What cameras do car washes need?
Car washes need entrance cameras, wash bay cameras and cameras covering payment areas, vacuum areas and exits. The right system gives a clear view of each vehicle as it enters, goes through the wash and leaves, so staff can check what happened, settle a claim and deter theft and vandalism.
What is included in a typical system:
- Entrance cameras that record every vehicle entering the site
- Wash bay cameras covering the wash tunnel and bay areas
- Licence-plate capture cameras at entrances and exits
- Cameras for payment kiosks, vacuum areas and the office
- Remote viewing, so owners can check the site from a phone or computer
- Alarms with 24/7 monitoring for after-hours intrusion
Cameras for wash bays and entrances
Cameras for wash bays and entrances show each vehicle before, during and after the wash. This record is useful when a customer says their vehicle was damaged, and it helps staff see whether a vehicle was already marked before it entered the wash.
Damage-claim protection for car wash owners
Damage-claim protection starts with clear video of the vehicle at the entrance and in the wash bay. When a claim is made, owners can review the recorded video, check the condition of the vehicle on arrival, and see what happened in the bay. This helps settle claims fairly and quickly, and deters false claims.
Licence-plate capture and alarm monitoring for car wash sites
Licence-plate capture at the entrance records the plate of each vehicle using the wash, which helps with incident records and claims. Alarm monitoring adds protection after hours, when the equipment, payment kiosks and bays are most at risk.
