Construction site security in Indiana.
Indiana construction leans toward distribution parks around Indianapolis, steel and industrial work near Lake Michigan, and large plant sites carved out of former cropland. Flat, open ground gives thieves long sight lines to scout a site, and many projects are miles from the nearest neighbor or any passing traffic.
VDS puts solar-powered, cellular-connected surveillance trailers on Indiana 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 Indiana.
Different project types carry different risks. Here is how coverage plays out on the work that drives Indiana construction.
Distribution and warehouse parks
Huge tilt wall pads sit open for months with staged conduit, racking and equipment. Trailers placed at corners and gates cover wide perimeters with few people nearby.
Industrial expansions in the Region
Northwest Indiana plants and mills run contractor yards with scrap metal, cable and heavy tools. A trailer at the entrance verifies vehicles and watches the laydown area at night.
Farmland plant and campus sites
Remote greenfield sites have miles of unfenced ground and long gravel haul roads. Trailers watch the construction entrance and equipment lot where trespassers usually arrive.
Interchange and bridge work
Reconstruction along the main interstates leaves machines and fuel in unlit work zones. A trailer on the approach confirms who is near equipment once crews go home.
What gets targeted.
Diesel and gasoline are a frequent loss on remote Indiana sites, along with copper cable and catalytic converters cut from parked equipment. Tools disappear from job boxes and gang boxes, and steel yards near the lake see scrap metal targeted. New houses lose appliances and wire just before closing. Thieves favor dark weekends and holiday stretches when open farmland keeps witnesses away.
Weather and power.
Indiana is flat and exposed, so wind is the first thing to plan for. Winters bring cold snaps and lake effect snow in the north, summers are humid, and spring thunderstorms can produce sudden gusts. The trailer is solar powered and cellular connected, and the mast can be lowered ahead of storms and raised again in under 20 minutes. Add battery reserve for gray winter weeks.
Where we deliver in Indiana.
VDS delivers to the Indianapolis metro, Northwest Indiana and the Region near Lake Michigan, Fort Wayne, and along the I-65 and I-70 corridors, including rural sites that sit well outside town limits.

Common questions.
Is a trailer practical on a flat, windy Indiana farmland site?
Yes, with planning. Open ground catches wind, so we place the trailer in a sheltered spot where possible, keep the mast down during storm warnings, and raise it again in under 20 minutes. A good vantage point matters more than height on flat land.
Can you protect a site that has no power or internet yet?
That is the main use case. The trailer makes its own power from the sun and connects over cellular, so a remote pad needs no utility hookup. Confirm cell coverage at the site and talk to us if reception looks weak.
How quickly can a trailer reach a job near Indianapolis or Fort Wayne?
Delivery generally takes about a week at most, depending on unit availability and distance. Share the address and your start date early so we can line up a trailer, and note any gate codes or access restrictions for the driver.
Can a construction site in Indiana 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.
