Car Dealership
Walkaround Videos
Capture more customers with sight, sound, and motion.
Today’s shoppers want more than photos and specifications. They want to see the actual vehicle they’re considering.
Walkaround videos help dealerships build trust and transparency by showing each vehicle in motion, giving shoppers a clearer understanding of its features, condition, and value before they ever visit the lot.
The result is higher VDP engagement, more informed shoppers, and more opportunities to convert online traffic into leads.
Put a walkaround video on every vehicle in inventory
DealerVision helps dealerships create professional walkaround videos for every vehicle in inventory, giving shoppers a more complete understanding of each vehicle before they contact your dealership.
By combining sight, sound, and motion, dealerships can create more engaging VDPs, improve shopper confidence, and get more value from the traffic already reaching their website.
Quickly and Easily Capture Walkaround Videos on the Lot
Videos are automatically produced and live on the VDP in minutes
Videos are automatically published to your lead provider platforms
Walkaround Videos vs Photos for Vehicle Listings
Most dealerships still rely on static photos alone to merchandise inventory online.
But today’s shoppers want more than isolated images, they want to understand the vehicle before they contact the dealership.
Walkaround videos bridge that gap by combining sight, sound, and motion into a single inventory presentation.
Walkaround Videos
Show the entire vehicle in a continuous, real-world view
Help shoppers understand condition, features, and layout
Include VIN-specific voiceover highlighting key selling points
Provide an engaging, guided experience
Help buyers feel more confident before reaching out
Create a more engaging shopping experience
Vehicle Photos
Show isolated angles rather than the full vehicle experience
Make it harder to fully understand conditions and details
Provides no explanation of selling points, features, or highlights
Require shoppers to piece together information
Creates uncertainty before contacting your dealership
Provides fewer reasons for shoppers to stay on the VDP
Photos are an essential part of any listing, but on their own they often fall short of what today’s shoppers expect. Walkaround videos fill that gap, helping dealerships present inventory more effectively, and enabling buyers to make faster, more confident decisions.
How DealerVision Walkaround Video Software Works
DealerVision is built to help dealerships add professional walkaround video to every vehicle in inventory without disrupting existing workflows or replacing inventory management systems.
Your team simply captures a quick walkaround video on the lot while DealerVision automatically enhances, organizes, and publishes each video to the correct vehicle listing using VIN-specific vehicle data.
The result is a scalable video process that helps dealerships create more engaging inventory listings, improve VDP performance, and convert more online shoppers into leads.
1. Select the Vehicle
DealerVision connects to your dealership inventory data to identify the vehicle and its VIN-specific features automatically.
This ensures every walkaround video is matched to the correct vehicle listing while helping maintain accurate and consistent inventory presentation across your website.
2. Shoot and Upload the Walkaround Video
Your team records a quick walkaround video using their preferred device, then uploads it into the system. No scripting, editing, or complicated production process required.
3. Professional Voiceover with VIN-SPecific Vehicle Features
DealerVision automatically enhances each video using VIN-specific vehicle data to generate a natural-sounding professional voiceover that highlights key features, options, and selling points.
4. Video is Live on Your Site in Minutes
Completed videos are automatically published to the correct VDP on your dealership website and can also be distributed across major automotive marketplaces and YouTube.
More Vehicle Information. More Shopper Confidence.
Your dealership is already investing in advertising, inventory listings, and website traffic. Walkaround videos help you get more value from that traffic by creating more engaging vehicle detail pages that keep shoppers interested longer and move them closer to contacting your dealership.
By giving shoppers a better understanding of each vehicle before they visit the lot, video helps reduce uncertainty, improve shopper confidence, and create a stronger online merchandising experience.
Build Trust Before Customers Visit the Dealership
Shoppers are more likely to contact a dealership when they feel confident in what they’re seeing online. Walkaround videos help create transparency by clearly presenting the actual vehicle, helping build trust before the customer ever steps onto the lot.
Give Shoppers a Better View of Every Vehicle
Walkaround videos allow shoppers to see features, condition, and vehicle details in a way photos alone often can’t capture. This creates a more informative shopping experience and helps buyers feel more confident before reaching out to your dealership.
Increase Time on Vehicle Detail Pages
Adding video to VDPs gives shoppers more content to engage with, increasing time spent on vehicle listings and creating more opportunities for conversion. More engaged shoppers are more likely to submit leads, schedule appointments, and continue through the buying process.
