Typical challenges with parking lots and parking garages
Parking areas are often difficult to see, sprawling, and only partially supervised. Damaged vehicles, car break-ins, vandalism, or disputes regularly lead to uncertainty regarding responsibility and increased costs for operators, administrations, and insurance companies.
The clear temporal and spatial classification of incidents is particularly challenging, as many events go unnoticed. At the same time, strict requirements apply to the proportionality and transparency of video surveillance.

Data protection & legal certainty in parking lot surveillance
In short: video surveillance in parking lots and parking garages is permitted in Switzerland if it is proportionate, transparent, and used for a specific purpose.
A data protection-compliant concept takes the following into account in particular:
- Clear definition of purpose (e.g., protection against vandalism)
- Visible marking of surveillance
- Limited and comprehensible storage periods
- Controlled access rights to recordings
Professional planning is crucial, especially for publicly accessible parking areas.
Professional video surveillance reduces property damage and vandalism, facilitates the clarification of damage claims, and creates legal certainty for operators, administrations, and companies. For over 10 years, Homesecurity has been implementing customized video surveillance solutions for parking lots and parking garages, among other things—from planning and implementation to ongoing operation.
