The site is empty at 6 PM.The trailer isn't.
Active construction sites lose $1B+ annually to equipment theft, copper theft, and vandalism. VDS drops a solar-autonomous trailer at your gate, monitors the perimeter 24/7, and gets PD on scene with live video — without trenching, permits, or guards.
$1B+
walks off construction sites every year.
The threat profile on an active site is uniquely difficult — open perimeters, expensive movable equipment, irregular hours, and zero infrastructure for cameras to plug into.
Heavy equipment theft
Excavators, skid-steers, generators. Recovery rate under 25%.
Copper & wire theft
$1.5B annual loss. Site shutdowns of 5–10 days per incident.
Lumber, fuel, fixtures
Inflation has put just-delivered materials at peak risk.
Vandalism & trespass
Liability exposure, OSHA-recordable, and schedule slippage.
The trailer arrives Monday.
You're covered Tuesday.
One trailer covers up to 5 acres. Site setup takes 20 minutes. No power, no permits, no fiber. The SOC starts watching the moment the mast goes up.
From flat-bed to
monitoring in under an hour.
We deliver the MSU trailer to your gate. One person — usually your foreman — levels it, raises the mast, and we're online. Solar handles power. Cellular handles the cloud. Your IT team is uninvolved.
- Tow-behind delivery on a flat-bed
- Foreman-deployable in under 20 minutes
- No trenching, no conduit, no permits
- Auto-registers to your VDS portal
// STEP 01Workers leave.
The trailer takes over.
VDS auto-activates after-hours rules at lockdown time. Any human or vehicle on-site triggers an alert. Daytime workflows continue uninterrupted — AI suppresses alerts during active hours.
- Schedule-based arming (geofenced)
- PPE detection during work hours (optional)
- After-hours person/vehicle/loiter triggers
- Crew check-in via mobile app
// STEP 02The intruder hears
a human voice.
Most thieves leave the moment they realize they're being watched and recorded. VDS SOC operators talk down through the trailer's amplified speakers — by name if necessary — before police are dispatched.
- 100dB amplified two-way audio
- SOC operator goes live in real time
- Strobing 1,200-lumen white-light deterrent
- 73% of intrusions resolved before PD arrival
// STEP 03Police get the video.
Then they get on scene.
When dispatch is needed, VDS calls 911 with live video streaming directly to the responding unit. Officers know what they're walking into. Recovery and arrest rates climb.
- Direct PD dispatch with live video
- Immutable cloud audit log (court-ready)
- Incident report delivered to your portal per SLA
- Insurance-compliant evidence retention
// STEP 04Every corner of the site.
One platform.
The MSU adapts to your specific threat surface. Here are the scenarios construction PMs deploy for most often.
Equipment yards
24/7 coverage for heavy machinery, generators, and high-value mobile plant stored at the perimeter.
Material laydown areas
Detect and deter theft of lumber, pipe, fixtures, and just-delivered materials staged for next-day install.
Active build sites
After-hours lockdown with schedule-based arming. AI suppresses alerts during active work hours.
Highway & DOT projects
Rapid-deploy coverage for linear projects, barrier yards, and temporary lane closures without infrastructure.
Fuel storage
Perimeter and approach monitoring for fuel tanks, diesel bowsers, and generator fuel depots on remote sites.
Temporary & phased sites
The trailer moves with the project. As phases shift, reposition in under 20 minutes with zero reconfiguration.

The trailer landed Wednesday afternoon. By 6 AM Thursday the SOC had already chased two trespassers off the lot. We never went back to guards.
// MSU-A · FLAGSHIP600W SOLAR · 4G LTEThe Mobile Surveillance Unit.
Built for sites with no power.
Solar-autonomous, rapid-deploy, foreman-operable. The MSU was engineered for construction from the ground up — no power hookup, no IT involvement, no permits.
From call
to covered.
Most construction customers go from initial conversation to a live trailer on their site inside 7 business days.
