Construction site security in Delaware.
Delaware construction is compact and dense: office and residential work in Wilmington, warehouse and logistics projects along I-95 and Route 1, state and road work around Dover, and heavy vacation-home building in Sussex County. Sites are close to busy highways and neighborhoods, yet many go dark and empty overnight, which makes quick in and out theft easy.
VDS puts solar-powered, cellular-connected surveillance trailers on Delaware construction sites. AI detection flags people and vehicles, operators verify alerts and talk down live, and your team gets video of every verified event. No site power, trenching or internet required.
Projects we cover in Delaware.
Different project types carry different risks. Here is how coverage plays out on the work that drives Delaware construction.
Wilmington mixed-use and office builds
Urban sites have tight fences, street-level access and neighbors who see little at night. A trailer watches the gate and material hoist area and speaks to anyone who climbs in.
Route 1 and I-95 logistics buildings
Warehouse shells near highway exits are easy to reach and leave quickly. A trailer covers dock doors and the truck court where wire, tools and equipment sit staged.
Sussex County vacation homes
Beach-area houses sit unfinished through the off season while owners are away. A trailer at the lot or community entrance records visitors and protects appliances, fixtures and lumber.
Highway and bridge improvements
Roadwork zones near Dover leave barrels, lighting plants and equipment along open shoulders. A portable trailer moves with the work zone and covers the staged equipment overnight.
What gets targeted.
Copper and catalytic converters are the common losses on commercial and road projects, taken from equipment parked after hours. Fuel is siphoned from generators and machines. At new homes near the beaches and Dover, appliances, tools and lumber are taken, often when the site is quiet over weekends and through winter off-season stretches. Unattended generators are a particular target.
Weather and power.
Delaware has four real seasons. Summers are hot and humid, with strong afternoon storms, and Sussex County sees coastal wind and the occasional tropical system. Winters are short and gray, so panel charging drops and battery reserve matters more. Set panels clear of trees and buildings, lower the mast ahead of severe wind, and brush off snow after a storm. The mast raises in under 20 minutes.
Where we deliver in Delaware.
VDS delivers throughout Delaware, including New Castle County and Wilmington, Dover and central Delaware, Sussex County and the beaches, and along the I-95 and Route 1 corridors that link them. Delivery is generally about a week.

Common questions.
Do we need a power hookup for a trailer in downtown Wilmington?
No. The trailer is solar powered and cellular connected, so it doesn't need a utility connection or a hookup to the building. On tight urban sites, confirm placement and any requirements with the local authority or your general contractor before it arrives.
Will winter in Delaware limit the cameras?
Short, cloudy days reduce charging, so plan extra battery reserve, set panels toward the south with a clear view, and clear snow when it builds up. The trailer keeps monitoring through normal Delaware winters, and a planning call can size the reserve.
Can one trailer be moved between sites along Route 1?
Yes. The unit can be relocated as phases finish, and the mast raises in under 20 minutes at the new spot. Talk with VDS about timing between Wilmington, Dover and the beaches, and delivery to a new location is typically about a week.
Can a construction site in Delaware get cameras before power is connected?
Yes. Each trailer runs on solar power with cellular connectivity, so it works on a bare lot with no utilities, no trenching and no site internet. One person levels the unit and raises the mast in under 20 minutes.
Can one trailer move between phases or sites?
Yes. Trailers relocate as work moves, from site clearing to foundations to framing to finish, and between projects. Term options run from short rentals to annual subscriptions.
