CCTV for showrooms and dealerships
A showroom needs the entrance, the display floor, the counter and the outside display or parking covered. Glass frontage and strong daylight are the technical problem: cameras facing the window record silhouettes unless they are positioned and configured for backlight.

Backlight is the main issue
A camera pointed at a glass frontage records shapes, not faces. Position off-axis and enable wide dynamic range, or the entrance camera is wasted.
Outside display
Stock displayed outside overnight needs its own coverage with good night performance, and this is where a modest light pays for itself.
Counter and paperwork
Where deals are signed and payments taken deserves continuous coverage, for the same reason a shop till does.
What CCTV does a showroom need?
Why does my entrance camera only show silhouettes?
Backlight from the glass frontage. Repositioning off-axis and enabling wide dynamic range usually fixes it without changing the camera.
Do I need cameras on stock parked outside?
If it is left overnight, yes, and with attention to night performance. This is a position where colour night vision genuinely helps describe a vehicle.
Does the glass frontage cause problems at night too?
Yes, in the other direction. After dark the glass turns into a mirror, and an internal camera facing it records the showroom's own reflection and the glare of its own infra-red. Angle cameras away from the glass, or switch their illuminators off and light the room instead.
Need this doing?
Business CCTV covers the till, the stock room, the entrance and the delivery door — the four points where losses actually happen. Systems are sized to your retention needs and can be linked to access control and point of sale. Expect PKR 70,000 upwards depending on premises size.
