Acres of inventory outdoors.Nothing watching the back lot.
RV, boat, and powersports dealerships park six- and seven-figure inventory outdoors overnight, across lots too big and too loosely fenced for a fixed camera cluster near the showroom to ever reach. Units get rolled off, catalytic converters get cut out, and joyriders take a $90K RV for a lap before anyone knows it moved. VDS deploys solar-autonomous surveillance across the whole lot, reads every plate at the entrance, and puts a live SOC operator on every alert — no night patrol required.
Exposed sites.
High-value targets with no one watching.
Minimal staffing, sprawling ground, and valuable assets in the open — the conditions that turn a site into a soft target the moment everyone goes home.
Units rolled off the lot
Boats, RVs, and trailers hitched and gone in minutes from outdoor storage rows that sit unwatched overnight, often for tens of thousands of dollars a unit.
Catalytic converter and parts theft
Fast, targeted strikes across a row of motorhomes or trucks — a few minutes with a saw and the dealership is out thousands of dollars per unit before opening.
Joyriding, trespass, and vandalism
Unlocked units and keys left on-board make an unmonitored lot an open invitation after hours — joyrides, break-ins, and damage with no one there to see it happen.
Overflow lots and weather-event exposure
Back lots, overflow storage, and staging areas set up around storms or seasonal inventory swings often go live with zero camera coverage at all.
Drop the trailer.
The SOC takes it from here.
Solar-autonomous surveillance with AI analytics and live SOC operators. No power, no internet, no guards required.
Every vehicle in.
Every vehicle logged.
License plate recognition at the lot entrance captures every vehicle that comes and goes, ties it to a time and a plate, and flags hotlisted vehicles — so a lot with no fence line still has a chokepoint that sees everything.
- Automatic plate capture at every entrance, day and night
- Entry/exit log tied to time and plate
- Hotlist alerts for known problem vehicles
- Evidence packages for law enforcement and insurance
// STEP 01Acres of units.
One elevated view.
An elevated mast gives the MSU sightlines down entire inventory rows — motorhomes, boats on trailers, powersports units — that a showroom-mounted camera cluster was never positioned to reach. AI tells a person from a vehicle and flags movement between units after close.
- Elevated coverage across full inventory rows
- AI human and vehicle classification
- After-hours movement alerts between units
- Full-lot visibility in zero-light conditions
// STEP 02No night patrol.
A live operator instead.
Every alert routes to a live SOC operator who verifies it in real time, issues an audio warning through the on-unit speaker, and escalates to law enforcement — deterrence that shows up before the unit is hitched, not after.
- Live operator verification on every alert
- Real-time voice-down warnings through the speaker
- Escalation to law enforcement with footage
- Monthly incident and activity reporting
// STEP 03No trenching.
No wiring the back lot.
Solar power and 4G/5G cellular backhaul mean coverage goes wherever the inventory sits — the back lot, the overflow field, the storm-staging area — with no conduit run and no waiting on an electrician.
- Solar-autonomous — no grid power required
- 4G/5G cellular backhaul
- Covers overflow and back lots fixed cameras never reach
- Relocatable as inventory and seasons shift
// STEP 04Every asset on site.
One platform.
The MSU adapts to how a dealership actually uses its ground. Here are the scenarios RV, boat, and powersports dealers deploy for most often.
RV inventory rows
Long rows of motorhomes and travel trailers parked outdoors overnight, where a unit can be hitched and rolled off in minutes.
Boat & trailer storage
Boats on trailers and in dry-stack rows, high-value and highly mobile assets that sit exposed with no fence line to slow anyone down.
Powersports lots
ATVs, jet-skis, and motorcycles — small, easy to load, and a frequent target for fast opportunistic theft.
Back and overflow lots
Secondary storage and seasonal overflow areas that never got wired for cameras because they were never meant to be permanent.
Entrance & service drive
The one chokepoint every vehicle passes through, where LPR turns foot and vehicle traffic into a searchable log.
Storm & weather staging
Temporary lots stood up ahead of a storm or seasonal peak that need coverage live the same day, not after a permanent install.
Real operators.

We were losing converters and getting units moved around the back lot almost weekly. Once the trailer went up on the overflow lot, that stopped completely — the audio warning alone has turned people around before our team even sees the alert.
