The product is high-value.The security matches.
Dispensaries and grow operations are cash-heavy, product-rich, and heavily regulated. Robbery, grow theft, and smash-and-grab attacks are constant threats. State regulators demand video retention, audit trails, and documented security protocols. VDS provides 24/7 monitored surveillance with compliance-grade recording that satisfies both threats and regulators.
Cash-heavy. Product-rich.
Regulators watching everything.
High-value product, significant cash on hand, strict state regulations, and criminals who know exactly what's inside. Cannabis facilities face threats from every direction.
Dispensary robbery
Armed robbery of retail dispensaries targeting cash, product, and employee safety. High-value targets with predictable operating hours.
Grow operation theft
Organized theft from cultivation facilities — cutting fencing, disabling cameras, and stripping plants during off-hours.
Regulatory compliance gaps
State regulators require continuous video surveillance, defined retention periods, and audit-ready documentation. Gaps mean fines or license revocation.
Vehicle-based smash-and-grab
Vehicles driven through storefronts or fencing to access product. Fast, violent, and devastating — often over in under two minutes.
Criminals see the trailer.
Regulators see the compliance.
Visible deterrence that stops criminals and compliance-grade recording that satisfies regulators. Both from a single solar-autonomous platform.
See them coming.
Stop them arriving.
The MSU establishes a surveillance perimeter around dispensaries and grow facilities. AI analytics detect approaching vehicles and individuals, alerting the SOC before they reach the door or the fence line.
- 360-degree coverage from 30 ft mast
- AI-powered vehicle and human detection
- Pre-incident alerting on suspicious approach
- Instant SOC notification on perimeter activity
// STEP 01Every plate. Every visit.
Every pattern.
License plate recognition captures every vehicle near the facility. Hotlists flag known offenders and stolen vehicles. Pattern analysis identifies pre-operational surveillance — the recon visit before the robbery.
- Automatic plate capture day and night
- Stolen vehicle and hotlist alerts
- Pre-operational surveillance detection
- Law enforcement evidence packages
// STEP 02Every frame retained.
Every audit passed.
VDS provides continuous, compliance-grade video recording with state-mandated retention periods. Immutable storage, automated documentation, and audit-ready evidence packages keep your license intact.
- Continuous recording meeting state requirements
- Configurable retention periods by jurisdiction
- Immutable storage with tamper-proof logs
- Automated audit documentation packages
// STEP 03A voice in the dark.
They weren't expecting that.
The SOC monitors your facility 24/7/365. When suspicious activity is detected, operators activate two-way audio for live talk-down, trigger LED floods, and dispatch law enforcement with streaming video.
- 24/7 live SOC monitoring
- Two-way audio talk-down capability
- High-intensity LED flood activation
- Direct law enforcement dispatch with video
// STEP 04Every facility. Every license.
