Security & monitoring
Cameras on the lot, people watching them.
A vacant lot or a yard with equipment and trailers is a target, and a camera nobody watches only tells you afterwards. We install the cameras, our monitoring team watches the feeds 24 hours a day and acts on what they see, and when there is an incident a Texas-licensed private investigator comes to the site, documents what happened and works with you, your insurer and law enforcement.
What's included
Camera installation
Pole-mounted cameras with night vision and solar or hard-wired power, placed to cover the gate, the fence line and the storage areas; cellular uplink where there is no internet.
24/7 live monitoring
Real people, not just motion alerts. Our monitoring team watches the feeds, speaks to intruders through on-site speakers, and calls you and law enforcement according to the response plan you set.
Incident response
A Texas-licensed private investigator visits the site after an incident, documents the scene and the footage, interviews witnesses and prepares a report for your insurer or the police.
Ongoing service
Monthly health checks on every camera, footage retained per your plan, and clips delivered to you on request.
How a job runs
- 1
Site survey
We map the lot, the entrance, the blind spots and the power and signal options, then propose camera positions and a response plan.
- 2
Install and test
Poles, cameras, power and uplink installed and tested with you on the phone, so you see exactly what the monitoring team sees.
- 3
Monitoring starts
Your response plan is live: who gets called, in what order, and when law enforcement is dispatched.
- 4
Investigate when needed
On an incident the investigator is dispatched, the footage is preserved and the report is in your hands for the claim.
Questions we hear
- Does monitoring need internet on the lot?
- No. Cameras can run on solar power with a cellular uplink, which is how most rural and vacant lots are set up.
- Who owns the cameras?
- You can buy the equipment outright or include it in the monthly service; either way the footage is yours.
- What does the investigator actually do?
- After an incident they document the scene and the recorded footage, identify vehicles and people where possible, take statements, and prepare a written report you can hand to your insurer or the police. Investigations are performed under a Texas Private Security Bureau license.
