Parking Surveillance Tips for your AirBNB

If you plan to host guests at your Airbnb then you have come to the right place. Here you will find out what steps you can take to make sure that your tenant’s cars are safe, and that they feel completely at home.

Install some Outdoor Cameras

One of the first things that you need to do is install some outdoor security cameras. You need to monitor the outdoor parking areas you have and you also need to make sure that they comply with the surveillance policy of Airbnb. Regulations state that cameras have to be disclosed in your listing and that you need to make sure that they do not cover bedrooms or bathrooms. Cameras should be adequately lit, and if possible, you should have motion-activated lights in your parking areas as this is the best way for you to deter any unauthorized access. It will also help you to improve general visibility, which is important if you want to make sure that your tenants feel safe. If you want to help your tenants even more, then it could be worth looking into an ANPR car park system, if you haven’t done so already. Tech like this can be solar or wind-powered, giving you plenty of options if you want to keep your property boundary safe. You can also stop other people from taking up spaces for your Airbnb guests, preventing unauthorized use of specific car parking spots. 

Maintenance is Everything

If you invest in a security system then you have to make sure that you are maintaining it properly. If you are not maintaining your system then you will soon find that it becomes more difficult for you to keep it working as it should. Check footage regularly, and not just when there’s been an accident. Checking the position of your cameras is also important, so if they happen to be moved, you can return them to their original position, before an accident happens that you miss. Cleaning the lens of your cameras will also help you to ensure that you have a steady feed, and it also gives you a better way to capture footage. Little things like this can help you quite a lot, and it also gives your guests more peace of mind as they know that their vehicles are going to be safe.

Chat with your Guests about Security 

Another thing you can do is have a chat with your guests. Confirm the number of cars they are going to be bringing and make sure that there are strategic car parking spots available. Ideally these should be in well-lit areas, so you can improve visibility as much as possible. Check with local regulations too, so you can make yourself aware of any parking restrictions that might be in place. If you can warn your guests of things like this then you will be able to provide them with a smoother experience overall, and you can also make sure that they have a comfortable stay overall.
