Equipment yard security with a record of every vehicle at your gate
Equipment yards concentrate value like few other properties: machines, attachments, trailers and fuel in neat rows, often behind a chain-link fence on an industrial road that goes quiet at 6 PM. Thieves with a truck and twenty minutes can cause six-figure losses — and fenced yards get scouted precisely because the inventory is visible.
The yard problem is really two problems. After hours, it is classic intrusion: cut the fence, hook a trailer, gone. During hours, it is accountability: which sub took which attachment, which carrier left with which load, and whether the gate was closed at all. SiteFortress360 addresses both — AI detection and deterrence at night, and with the LPR add-on, a searchable plate record of every entry and exit at your gate.
GPS geofencing works both directions: the surveillance unit itself is geofenced and tamper-monitored, so the system watching your equipment is not the easy first thing to steal.
Equipment Yards — common questions
How does license plate recognition work at an equipment yard?
A dedicated LPR camera is mounted low, aimed at your gate geometry. Vehicles entering and exiting are captured as searchable plate events with timestamps — with authorized plate lists where supported and alerts on unknown vehicles after hours.
Our yard already has a fence and lighting. Why add this?
Fences slow thieves; they don’t report them. Lighting helps a witness who isn’t there at 2 AM. The unit adds the missing pieces: detection the moment someone crosses your fence line, recording that survives, active deterrence (siren, strobe, talk-down), and a live view you can open from bed.
What if thieves target the surveillance trailer itself?
The trailer is GPS-geofenced with movement and tamper detection, records locally, and reports its own health continuously. Moving or tampering with it generates the loudest alert of all.
