Remote video monitoring for vacant properties
Vacant property monitoring watches entrances, perimeters and vulnerable openings of empty buildings and closed sites, and follows your response plan when trespass is detected. Each site is checked first for working power, cameras and connectivity.
What NightMarshal watches at vacant properties
Views that matter
- Doors and ground floor openings
- Perimeter and hoarding
- Car parks and yards
- Roof access points where visible
Typical rules
- Any person on site
- Vehicles parking on the property
- Activity at doors or windows
Response options
- Contact the asset manager or key holder
- Speaker warning where supported
- Contact a confirmed local response partner
Good to know
- Vacant sites often need temporary power, cameras or connectivity
- Insurance requirements should be confirmed with your insurer
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
Empty buildings still need a named owner.
Activity appears at a boarded entrance. The property contact receives the visible evidence and agreed next actions without assuming the camera establishes how entry occurred.
Actions depend on the agreed site plan.
Questions from property owners, asset managers and agents
Our building has no working cameras. Can you still help?
Possibly. Equipment, power and connectivity can be quoted separately once the site review confirms what is needed.
Will monitoring satisfy our insurer?
Insurance requirements vary. Share them with us and confirm with your insurer before relying on monitoring for cover.
What if utilities have been disconnected?
Assess power, connectivity and useful camera coverage first. Temporary equipment may be needed and should be quoted separately before monitoring is confirmed.
What should change when a vacant site is sold or occupied?
Update authorized access, contacts, coverage and retention arrangements. End or amend the monitoring scope when control of the property changes.
