Vacant Property and Laydown Yard Security Cameras
Virtual Protective secures vacant buildings, empty lots, laydown yards, equipment storage and critical infrastructure with mobile camera units and 24/7 AI threat detection. Intruders trigger sirens and audio talk-down, and our operators dispatch police — no permanent installation required.
What threatens empty and storage properties
Squatters and trespassers
Vacant buildings attract people who cause damage and liability.
Yard theft
Materials, equipment and vehicles in storage yards are easy targets.
Vandalism and dumping
Graffiti, break-ins and illegal dumping drive up costs.
Infrastructure risk
Substations, towers and utility sites need reliable, compliant monitoring.
Recommended setup
Pole mounts and 120V rooftop units work well on buildings and fenced yards; solar units cover empty lots with no power. Because everything is mobile, you can secure a property for a few months and remove the units when it’s leased or sold.
Property & yards security questions
Can I rent cameras for a vacant property short-term?
Yes. There’s no minimum rental term and no permanent installation. Because delivery and setup are a large part of the cost, rental length is a major factor in pricing, so we’ll quote options that fit your timeline.
Can you monitor my existing cameras instead?
Yes. We can turn existing CCTV cameras into an active, monitored alarm system.
Do you secure critical infrastructure?
Yes. We’re currently trusted to protect billions of dollars in U.S. infrastructure. Our USA-built, NDAA-compliant systems are monitored from a USA command center.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on how many units you need and the rental length, with 24/7 monitoring included. We quote for free after a site visit.
