Remote video monitoring for equipment yards
Equipment yard video monitoring watches the camera views around your stored machines, gates and perimeter, checks activity against your yard hours and follows your response plan when something needs action. NightMarshal works with compatible existing cameras and records every incident from detection to closure.
What NightMarshal watches at equipment yards
Views that matter
- Perimeter fences and gates
- Parked machines and attachments
- Loading and fueling areas
- Yard office entrances
Typical rules
- People or vehicles inside the yard outside opening hours
- Movement near high value machines after close
- Gate left open after the last authorized exit
Response options
- Call the branch manager or on call contact
- Speaker warning where supported
- Contact a confirmed local response partner
Good to know
- Large yards need enough camera views and lighting to cover stored assets
- Remote coverage depends on a reliable connection
Rules, contacts and permitted actions are agreed with you during setup. Speaker warnings and local response depend on supported equipment and confirmed coverage in your area.
Illustrative response scenario
Machines move. Coverage should keep up.
A machine is moved beside the fence after closing. The agreed yard schedule and camera view establish whether this is an expected collection before the response plan is followed.
Actions depend on the agreed site plan.
Questions from owners and branch managers
Can monitoring cover a yard with machines spread across a large lot?
Coverage depends on the camera views, lighting and connection. The site review maps which areas your cameras can actually see and where added views would help.
Do you handle deliveries and early starts?
Yes. Access hours, expected deliveries and authorized early starts become rules so routine activity is separated from activity that needs review.
How do changing stock positions affect monitoring?
Stacked equipment can hide people and gates. Review camera sight lines after major stock moves and agree which areas remain visible. A detection rule cannot recover a blocked view.
What should our yard assessment include?
Identify machines and attachments at risk, fuel points, contractor access and the last authorized collection. These determine useful views and operating rules.
