We build it. We power it.We watch it.
VDS manufactures its own hardware, operates its own AI platform, and staffs its own SOC — all under a single contract. Your cameras or ours. No middlemen. No finger-pointing. One company, one accountability line.
One post, one gate.
Your site is bigger.
Staffing static posts around the clock is brutally expensive — rising wages, chronic turnover, and one set of eyes per post. Monitored cameras multiply what every person on the site — yours or your security partner's — can cover.
Rising staffing costs
A 24/7 post runs $35–50/hr fully burdened. Overnight premiums, overtime, and benefits push the real cost far higher than the contract rate.
Staffing shortages & turnover
Industry-wide turnover on staffed posts is chronically high, so coverage quality varies with whoever is available that month — a problem for you and for your security partner alike.
Limited coverage
One post covers one gate. Perimeters, back lots, and secondary access points stay unmonitored. Cameras without monitoring are just recording evidence.
Liability exposure
Putting a person alone on an exposed overnight post carries assault, injury, and workers-comp risk. Cameras take the dark, isolated watch — so people respond to verified incidents on their terms.
From motion to dispatch.
Fully automated.
Six steps. One platform. Camera to cloud to SOC to police — with AI filtering up to 98% of false positives before a human ever sees them.
Camera detects motion
Your cameras — VDS trailers, existing fixed cameras, or both — capture activity across the monitored perimeter. Day or night, rain or shine.
AI VisionStream classifies the event
Cloud AI processes the video in real time, classifying each detection as person, vehicle, animal, or environmental. Context matters — the AI knows the difference between a delivery truck and a trespasser.
False positives filtered automatically
Up to 98% of nuisance alerts — shadows, vegetation, animals, weather — are suppressed before they reach a human. Operators only see what matters.
SOC operator verifies the alert
A trained operator reviews the live feed in real time. Not a call-center agent reading a script — a dedicated surveillance professional who knows your site.
Live audio talk-down deters the intruder
The operator speaks through 120dB amplified speakers directly to the trespasser. Most intrusions end here, resolved by talk-down before police are needed.
PD dispatched with live video
When talk-down is not enough, VDS calls 911 with live video streaming to the responding unit. Officers know what they are walking into. Arrest and recovery rates climb.
One company.
Three capabilities.
Every other provider outsources at least one layer — the hardware, the software, or the monitoring. VDS owns all three. That means faster response, tighter integration, and one contract.
Purpose-built.
Solar-powered. Ours.
Every trailer rolls off our own production floor. Solar-autonomous power, cellular uplink, multi-sensor cameras. No third-party hardware you cannot control — we build it, we own it, we support it.
- Designed and assembled in-house
- Solar-autonomous — no utility power required
- Cellular uplink — no IT infrastructure
- NDAA Section 889 compliant
- Rapid deploy — minutes, not weeks
HARDWAREEvery pixel analyzed.
Every second.
AI VisionStream is the proprietary VDS cloud platform that connects any camera — ours or yours — to AI analytics, the SOC, and your mobile devices. Analytics run in the cloud so every camera gets the full AI stack without hardware upgrades. ONVIF and RTSP compatible.
- Works with VDS cameras and third-party cameras
- ONVIF / RTSP compatible — bring your existing cameras
- License plate recognition (LPR)
- Fire, smoke, gun, loitering, PPE detection
- People counting and crowd analytics
- No on-site server or NVR required
AI PLATFORMTrained operators.
Not call-center agents.
Our Security Operations Center is staffed around the clock by trained surveillance professionals — not call-center agents reading scripts. Every operator knows your site, your rules, and your escalation protocols.
- 24/7/365 staffed operations center
- Trained surveillance operators, not call-center agents
- Real-time alert verification and response
- Live two-way audio talk-down
- Direct PD dispatch with streaming video
- Dedicated account manager per customer
24/7 SOC12+ analytics.
Zero hardware upgrades.
AI runs in the cloud, not on the camera. Every sensor on every trailer gets the full analytics stack — today and as new modules ship.
License Plate Recognition
Read, log, and alert on plates in real time. Hot-list matching, visitor management, and evidence-ready captures.
Fire & Smoke Detection
Visual flame and smoke classification triggers instant alerts — before traditional heat or smoke detectors activate.
Intrusion / Perimeter Breach
Virtual tripwires and zone-crossing analytics detect unauthorized entry the moment a boundary is crossed.
Loitering Detection
Dwell-time thresholds flag individuals lingering in sensitive areas. Configurable per zone, per schedule.
Gun / Weapon Detection
AI identifies visible firearms in real time, triggering priority SOC escalation and optional law-enforcement notification.
PPE Compliance
Hard hat, safety vest, and protective equipment detection for active work zones. Automated compliance reporting.
People Counting
Directional counting for entry points, crowd density estimation, and occupancy analytics across zones.
Vehicle Classification
Distinguish cars, trucks, heavy equipment, and delivery vehicles. Route-based alerts and traffic pattern analysis.

Common
questions.
Everything you need to know about VDS remote video monitoring. Can't find your answer? Talk to us.
VDS trailers ship with our own multi-sensor camera array, but you do not need VDS hardware to use our monitoring service. AI VisionStream supports any ONVIF or RTSP camera — bring your existing cameras into the platform alongside VDS hardware, or use them on their own.
No. Every VDS trailer includes built-in 4G/5G cellular connectivity and solar power. There is no need for utility power, fiber, or Wi-Fi. The trailer is fully autonomous out of the box.
Fast. AI-verified alerts are routed to a live operator in real time. Most verified intrusions receive a live audio talk-down within minutes of initial detection. Response-time SLAs are defined per contract.
AI filters are tuned to minimize false negatives. Any detection that reaches the confidence threshold is reviewed by a human operator. Additionally, operators perform scheduled virtual patrols throughout each shift to verify site status independently of AI triggers.
Yes. AI VisionStream includes a customer portal and mobile app (iOS/Android) with live view, recorded playback, push alerts, clip sharing, and arm/disarm controls. You have full access alongside the SOC.
VDS offers flexible terms including month-to-month and annual agreements. Longer commitments receive better pricing. There are no multi-year lock-ins required.
Yes. All VDS hardware uses zero components from manufacturers banned under NDAA Section 889. Signed compliance letters and full component attestations are available upon request.
VDS bills a single monthly subscription per site that covers hardware, AI analytics, cellular connectivity, cloud storage, and 24/7 SOC monitoring. No hidden fees, no per-alert charges, no separate monitoring contract.
