Security System Financing and Leasing for Organizations That Need to Move Forward
Security needs do not always wait for the next budget cycle.
Auvra helps organizations explore financing and leasing options for physical security, IT, and facility improvement projects. This may include security cameras, access control, mobile security trailers, Verkada solutions, fencing, gates, weapons detection systems, AV, IT infrastructure, low-voltage work, and other approved project costs.
Auvra can help eligible customers evaluate project financing through ClearSky and other financing partners, as well as equipment leasing options through DLL, also known as De Lage Landen. Leasing options may include $1 buyout leases or fair market value leases, depending on project type, customer preference, credit approval, and available terms.
Financing and leasing may be available for projects starting at $5,000, with no fixed maximum project size. Final approval, terms, documentation, rates, payment structure, and eligibility depend on the financing or leasing partner’s review.
The goal is simple: help your organization solve the security gap without forcing every improvement into one upfront cash purchase.
Financing vs. Leasing: Which Option Makes Sense?
Not every security project should be funded the same way.
Some projects involve a broad mix of security improvements, site work, hardware, infrastructure, fencing, gates, and related costs. Other projects are mostly equipment-based, such as cameras, access control hardware, mobile security trailers, IT equipment, AV systems, or Verkada technology.
Auvra helps customers compare the project first, then determine which funding path may fit.
ClearSky and Project Financing
ClearSky and other project financing partners may be a good fit when the customer wants to finance a broader security or technology project.
This may include physical security, IT, AV, fencing, gates, mobile trailers, weapons detection systems, licensing, support, and related project costs when approved as part of the financing structure.
Project financing may be useful when the customer needs to preserve cash, move quickly, and spread the total cost of a broader project over time.
DLL Equipment Leasing
DLL leasing may be a good fit when the project is primarily equipment-based.
This may include security hardware, IT equipment, AV equipment, cameras, access control equipment, mobile security trailers, Verkada equipment, and similar physical equipment.
DLL leasing generally does not fit every project type. For example, fencing or non-IT facility improvements may be better reviewed through ClearSky or another project financing partner instead of DLL.
DLL $1 Buyout Leasing
A $1 buyout lease may be a good fit when the customer wants to own the equipment at the end of the lease term.
With this structure, the customer typically makes scheduled lease payments over the approved term and then may have the option to buy the equipment for $1 at the end, subject to the final lease documents.
This may be useful for customers who want long-term ownership of security cameras, access control equipment, mobile security trailers, IT infrastructure, AV systems, or other approved equipment.
DLL Fair Market Value Leasing
A fair market value lease, often called an FMV lease, may be a good fit when the customer wants more flexibility at the end of the term.
At the end of the lease, the customer may have options such as purchasing the equipment for fair market value, renewing the lease, returning the equipment, or upgrading, depending on the lease agreement.
FMV leasing may be useful for technology or equipment projects where the customer wants to preserve future flexibility, manage lifecycle changes, or avoid making every equipment purchase a long-term ownership decision.
The Right Structure Depends on the Scope
There is no single best option for every customer.
A school, municipality, business, church, healthcare facility, utility, or construction company may choose a different structure depending on project type, ownership preference, budget timing, equipment lifecycle, credit approval, accounting treatment, and internal approval requirements.
Auvra helps define the scope first, then helps the customer compare available financing or leasing paths.
Financing and Leasing Partners
Auvra works with ClearSky, DLL, and other financing or leasing partners to help eligible organizations fund security and technology improvements.
ClearSky Financing
ClearSky may be a fit for organizations looking to finance broader physical security, IT, AV, and facility improvement projects.
Eligible project categories may include, subject to approval:
- Security cameras
- Access control
- Verkada solutions
- Mobile security trailers
- Fencing and gates
- Weapons detection systems
- Glass or wall reinforcement
- Key control systems
- Low-voltage infrastructure
- IT equipment and infrastructure
- AV systems
- Other approved equipment or project costs
ClearSky may be the better path when the project includes non-equipment improvements, fencing, site work, or a broader mix of physical security needs.
DLL Equipment Leasing
DLL leasing may be a fit for customers who prefer an equipment lease structure instead of traditional financing.
Depending on the project and approval, DLL leasing options may include:
- $1 buyout leasing
- Fair market value leasing
- Equipment-focused lease structures
- Multi-year payment terms
- Security equipment leasing
- IT equipment leasing
- AV equipment leasing
- Verkada equipment leasing
- Mobile security trailer leasing
- Camera and access control equipment leasing
DLL leasing is generally best suited for physical equipment, IT, AV, and security hardware. It should not be treated as the preferred option for fencing, site work, or non-IT facility improvements.
Auvra can help customers compare whether ClearSky project financing, DLL $1 buyout leasing, DLL FMV leasing, or another funding option makes the most sense for the project.
All financing and leasing options are subject to credit approval, documentation, partner review, project eligibility, and final terms. Generally, no deposits are required, and the first invoice arrives 30 days after final installation is complete.
| Option | Best Fit | May Include | Less Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| ClearSky / Project Financing | Broader security or facility projects | Cameras, access control, trailers, fencing, gates, IT, AV, weapons detection, approved project costs | Smaller purchases under $5,000 |
| DLL $1 Buyout Lease | Equipment the customer wants to own at end of term | Cameras, Verkada equipment, access control equipment, trailers, IT, AV | Fencing, site work, non-IT facility improvements |
| DLL FMV Lease | Equipment where flexibility matters | IT, AV, security hardware, technology equipment, trailers | Fencing, site work, non-equipment improvements |
Security Financing and Equipment Leasing FAQ
What is the difference between ClearSky financing and DLL leasing?
ClearSky may be a fit for broader project financing, including physical security, IT, AV, fencing, gates, trailers, hardware, and other approved project costs. DLL is generally better suited for equipment-focused leasing, such as cameras, access control equipment, IT equipment, AV equipment, Verkada equipment, and mobile security trailers.
Can DLL leasing be used for fencing or facility improvements?
Generally, DLL leasing is better suited for physical equipment, IT, AV, and security hardware. Fencing, site work, and non-IT facility improvements may be better reviewed through ClearSky or another project financing partner.
What is a $1 buyout lease?
A $1 buyout lease is generally used when the customer wants to own the equipment at the end of the lease term. After making the scheduled payments, the customer may have the option to buy the equipment for $1, subject to the final lease documents.
What is an FMV lease?
An FMV lease, or fair market value lease, may give the customer more flexibility at the end of the term. Depending on the lease agreement, the customer may have options to purchase the equipment for fair market value, renew, return, or upgrade the equipment.
Why would a customer choose leasing instead of financing?
Some customers prefer leasing because it may better match their budget process, equipment lifecycle, or end-of-term plans. A $1 buyout lease may appeal to customers who want ownership at the end. An FMV lease may appeal to customers who want more flexibility when technology changes.
Can ClearSky financing and DLL leasing both be considered?
Yes. Auvra can help eligible customers compare financing and leasing paths. The right structure depends on project size, project type, ownership goals, credit approval, and available terms.
Can financing be used for fencing or gates?
Potentially, yes. Fencing, gates, gate automation, and related physical security improvements may be reviewed through ClearSky or another project financing partner, subject to approval. DLL leasing is generally not the preferred path for fencing or non-IT facility improvements.
Can leasing be used for Verkada equipment?
Potentially, yes. DLL leasing may be available for approved equipment-heavy projects involving Verkada cameras, access control equipment, intercoms, alarms, air quality sensors, IT equipment, AV equipment, and related physical equipment.
Can licensing and support be included?
In many cases, licensing, support, installation, and related project costs may be included when approved as part of the total financing or leasing structure. Eligibility depends on the funding partner, project scope, and final approval.
Are financing or leasing terms guaranteed?
No. All financing and leasing options are subject to credit approval, documentation, project eligibility, partner review, and final agreement terms. Auvra does not guarantee approval, rates, terms, payment amounts, or end-of-term options.
Security improvements can be made immediately.
Security projects are often delayed because the need is clear, but the budget timing is not.
Auvra helps organizations review financing and equipment leasing options for physical security, IT, AV, and facility improvement projects. This may include cameras, access control, Verkada solutions, mobile security trailers, fencing, gates, weapons detection systems, equipment leasing, and other approved project costs.
Whether your project is a better fit for ClearSky project financing, DLL equipment leasing, a $1 buyout lease, an FMV lease, or another funding path, Auvra can help you review the scope and determine the next practical step.
