Storage yards

CCTV tower hire for storage yards.

Materials and stock left unattended outside working hours are the main risk in most storage yards — a rapid deployment tower covers the yard with intrusion zones around what actually needs protecting.

The risk in a storage yard

Stock and plant, unattended for most of the week.

A storage yard is typically staffed for a fraction of the hours it needs protecting — materials, plant and stock sit unattended overnight, at weekends and during quiet periods, which is exactly when theft is most likely. Generic motion coverage flags every leaf and shadow; a configured intrusion zone around the actual stock doesn't.

Vigil 700 — intrusion zones around specific stock.

The Vigil 700's four-camera head covers a full yard from a single position, with intrusion zones, tripwires and loitering detection configured around the specific materials or equipment worth protecting — included as standard, not a paid extra. Larger yards or longer hires can suit the Vigil 1000 instead.

Common questions

Storage yard CCTV FAQs.

Can it protect specific areas of the yard rather than the whole site?

Yes — intrusion zones are configured around specific stock, equipment or storage areas during the site survey, so an alert tells you what's at risk, not just that something moved somewhere on site.

Does it work outside normal working hours?

Yes, detection schedules can be configured differently for working hours versus overnight and weekends, when an unattended yard is most at risk.

Can it cover more than one storage area?

A single tower covers a defined area — for a yard with several separate storage zones, we may recommend more than one unit or a taller platform with wider coverage. Tell us the layout and we'll size it properly.
