Site selection and design: Surveillance - Professional Carwashing & Detailing

Site selection and design: Surveillance

AKRON, Ohio — Keep your lines of sight clear.


AKRON, Ohio — In this week’s video on site selection and design, Editorial Director Rich DiPaolo discusses how to effectively police your site with surveillance equipment.

“Today, surveillance systems have evolved from blurry, black and white, and often laggy video footage to high-resolution, color videos with network-based cameras and network video recorder technology using the web,” DiPaolo says.

DiPaolo goes on to explain not only what types of surveillance cameras to buy for a carwash but also how to best position them on your site.
