DEPLOYMENT, WITHOUT THE HANDOFFS

From site plan to live protection.

VDS maps the risk, engineers the coverage, builds and activates the system, and keeps every component operating — all through one accountable team.

01

Design

Entrances, perimeter gaps, assets, and threat zones mapped into an engineered coverage plan — camera placement, sensors, AI rules, and monitoring protocols.

02

Build & deploy

VDS assembles and tests the hardware, delivers it to the site, positions the unit, raises the mast, and brings every camera online.

03

Monitor

Every verified alert is handled by trained operators in our 24/7 U.S. SOC — talk-down, dispatch, and documentation included.

04

Maintain

System health, analytics, firmware, diagnostics, reporting, monitoring, and customer support remain connected throughout the deployment.

Live 360° AI surveillance in under 15 minutes.

July is our highest-risk month for theft before the job site power grid is turned on. VDS stood up a 100% autonomous perimeter in less than 48 hours. No fuel maintenance, no wires, and absolute peace of mind.
Project Manager

The ultimate force multiplier for our short-staffed shifts.

Summer events stretch our personnel to the limit. These VDS mobile units handle our perimeter defense effortlessly. Because the AI filters out false alarms, our operators can deploy officers exclusively to real, verified threats.

Built for how you buy.

One trailer. One contract. Sites secured in days.

You need sites covered fast — without juggling camera vendors, monitoring companies, and IT contractors. VDS replaces that stack with a single solar-autonomous trailer, cloud AI, and 24/7 SOC monitoring under one agreement. Lease or purchase. Scale up or down as your sites change.

Same trailer. Different threat model.

Construction to substations to retail lots. The hardware deploys the same week — the AI adapts to the vertical.

Theft doesn't wait for your schedule.

Copper, tools, and equipment walk off sites after dark. VDS covers the fence line and laydown yard from day one — no trenching, no site power, no waiting on the GC's IT.

  • Foreman-deployable in under 20 minutes
  • 24/7 SOC-verified alerts from day one
  • Solar-autonomous — no site power needed

VDS owns all five.

The mobile surveillance market is fragmented. Camera vendors hand you a box. Cloud-VMS platforms hand you software. VDS engineers, manufactures, monitors, and maintains every layer — under one US roof.

Asked every week.

Q1What is a mobile surveillance unit?

A mobile surveillance unit (MSU) — also called a mobile security tower or surveillance trailer — is a trailer-mounted camera system with an elevating mast, autonomous power, and cellular connectivity. The VDS MSU adds AI detection, active deterrence, and optional 24/7 SOC monitoring on top of that base.

Q2How fast can VDS deploy?

One person — typically the site foreman — levels the trailer, raises the 22 ft telescopic mast, and the system auto-registers to the VDS portal in under 20 minutes. Most customers go from initial quote to a live trailer on site within about a week.

Q3Does it need site power or internet?

No. Power is a 900W bifacial solar array with battery storage and connectivity is 4G LTE cellular, so the unit operates fully off-grid. No trenching, no conduit, no electrician, and no access to your site network required. Shore power is supported where grid access exists.

Q4Who monitors the cameras?

AI filters nuisance motion first. Verified alerts route to VDS's own 24/7 Security Operations Center, where trained US operators review the footage, intervene with live talk-down audio through the trailer's speakers, and dispatch police with live video when needed. No outsourced monitoring, no overseas call routing.

Q5How much does it cost?

Every deployment is quoted to your exact sites, volume, and term. One subscription covers hardware, the AI VisionStream platform, 24/7 SOC monitoring, deployment, and maintenance — no hidden fees, no per-camera charges. Tell us about your site and we'll build a plan and quote around it.
