Off-grid, monitored coverage for San Antonio jobsites, laydown yards, and Eagle Ford service sites — no power, no internet, no trenching.
VDS deploys solar-powered mobile surveillance trailers across Greater San Antonio: 4K cameras, AI detection, live talk-down, and 24/7 SOC monitoring with police dispatch.

Why San Antonio sites go mobile.
San Antonio pairs a steadily growing construction market with an industrial base that stretches well past the city limits: manufacturing and aerospace activity around Port San Antonio and the south side, distribution along the I-35 trade corridor toward Laredo, and Eagle Ford shale service and laydown yards in the counties to the south. Those energy-sector and highway-corridor sites rarely have power or staff after dark. A monitored solar trailer covers them the way a fixed system never could — deployed to a pad or a jobsite in a day and moved when the work moves.

Who we cover in Greater San Antonio.
Common questions.
How fast can a surveillance trailer be deployed in San Antonio?
Most San Antonio deployments go from signed quote to a live, monitored trailer within about a week — delivery is coordinated from the VDS fleet and dealer network to your timeline. Once on site, one person levels the trailer, raises the mast, and monitoring begins in under 20 minutes.
Do you serve the entire Greater San Antonio area?
Yes. VDS serves San Antonio and the surrounding Greater San Antonio region, including suburban jobsites, industrial corridors, and remote properties. If your site is drivable, a trailer can reach it.
Does the trailer need power or internet at my site?
No. VDS mobile surveillance units are solar-autonomous with battery storage and connect over 4G LTE cellular, so they operate with no site power, no internet, no trenching, and no permits for temporary placement.
How much does a mobile surveillance trailer cost in San Antonio?
Pricing depends on the number of trailers, monitoring level, and term. VDS offers short-term rentals for events and project phases and month-to-month or annual subscriptions for ongoing coverage — typically a fraction of the cost of a guard post for equivalent hours. Use the coverage estimator or request a quote for site-specific pricing.
Is VDS monitoring NDAA-compliant?
Yes. VDS hardware is NDAA Section 889 compliant and monitored from VDS's own 24/7 US-based Security Operations Center — no outsourced monitoring, no overseas call routing.
Can I rent a surveillance trailer in San Antonio short-term?
Yes — short-term rentals cover events, seasonal sites, and project-based risk windows in San Antonio, while month-to-month and term subscriptions fit ongoing coverage. A deployment specialist quotes the model that matches your timeline.
