Specifying CCTV systems for a tyre fitting garage
Stacked tyre stock is bulky but valuable in volume, and the yard holding customer vehicles overnight carries a similar exposure to other vehicle-handling trades. This page sets out what a Riverview Park tyre fitting garage should be asking for, and where deterrent signage and decoy systems fit into it.
- Sector: tyre fitters
- Lead service: CCTV systems
- Exposure: Overnight and weekends when the yard is unattended see the most risk to stock and parked vehicles.
Primary risk
Stacked tyre stock is bulky but valuable in volume, and the yard holding customer vehicles overnight carries a similar exposure to other vehicle-handling trades.
First priority
Yard camera covering the tyre stack and customer vehicles
Common pitfall
Underestimating tyre stock as a target because individual units seem low value, when bulk theft of a full stack represents a significant loss.

Exposure window: Overnight and weekends when the yard is unattended see the most risk to stock and parked vehicles.
The role of deterrent signage and decoy systems
Visible signage and non-recording dummy devices intended to suggest a level of security presence and discourage casual attempts before any genuine detection is involved.
- Supplementing real systems at points that do not need full coverage
- Budget-limited sites wanting a visible presence alongside genuine measures
Where the budget goes first
- Yard camera covering the tyre stack and customer vehicles
- Bulk stock and parked cars are both at risk overnight and need direct coverage rather than a single distant overview.
- Access control or lock monitoring on the stock store
- Limits casual access to tyre stock during the day as well as overnight.
What that approach will not do
Being straight about the boundary costs less than discovering it after an incident.
- They provide no evidence, no alert and no record if something does happen.
The requirement that shapes the design
This is an obligation that changes the specification for tyre fitters, not an optional extra.
- Bulk tyre and waste tyre storage may fall under environmental storage conditions affecting yard layout and access
The other route
- Genuine battery or solar CCTV
- Real evidence and detection matter more than a low-cost visual deterrent alone.
What usually goes wrong first time
Underestimating tyre stock as a target because individual units seem low value, when bulk theft of a full stack represents a significant loss.
The support call this sector makes most: cCTV footage showing the wrong date or time
Once a system has been in a while, correct incorrect timestamps on recorded video is a common reason for a tyre fitting garage to ring.
Usually it comes down to cameras set independently of the recorder, network cameras with their own clock source can disagree with the recorder if they are not pointed at the same time server.
Before booking anyone, check whether the date resets after every power cut, which points to the clock battery.
