The holidays your site goes dark
The busiest weeks of the year for your site — and the quietest for everyone watching it.
Thanksgiving weekend — US sites closed
Christmas shutdown — UK & Ireland
Why shutdowns are a risk
When a site, school or yard closes for a week or more, there's no one there to notice a cut fence, an open door or a van at the gate. Tools, fuel, equipment and buildings are left with no one watching.

Cover goes up before the gates close — plan ahead for these periods.

How it works
Tell us your dates and site
We install HoundLight before you close
You watch it live from your phone
With alerts if anyone comes on site. Add human-verified monitoring and our operators watch it for you.
For sites where people still come and go, automatic lights and voice warnings can be switched off.

Relocate an alarm unit to the next gate or compound in minutes.
Monitored in real time, if you need it
Add human-verified monitoring and our trained operators check every alert and give a live warning.
