Eagle Ford · South Texas
Eagle Ford security that watches the tanks at night.
HoundLight goes on a pole at the lease gate or facing the load-out. After hours it spots trucks and people, lights them up, plays a warning in English or Spanish and sends the clip to your field team. No power or Wi-Fi needed.
What goes missing here
What theft looks like on Eagle Ford leases.
Federal cases show the pattern. In 2020 a San Antonio jury convicted two men of stealing about 33,000 barrels of crude, worth more than $1.8 million, from storage facilities near Cotulla.
U.S. Attorney, Western District of Texas, January 2020In an earlier case, prosecutors alleged that trucks from wastewater hauling companies were let onto leases and took crude from storage tanks instead of saltwater.
U.S. Attorney, Western District of Texas, 2014Texas's 2025 laws apply here too: an oilfield theft unit at DPS (HB 48), the STOPTheft task force (SB 494) and new powers to inspect tank trucks (SB 1806).

Built for local conditions
Most Eagle Ford leases sit on working ranches, so lease roads and gates are shared with landowners, hunters and contractors. HoundLight warns anyone on the pad after hours, and SmartReg shows exactly who used the lease road and when. Solar and 4G mean nothing to trench across the brush.
Every truck at the gate, on record
SmartReg checks every plate at the lease gate against your approved carrier list, so a vacuum truck that shouldn't be there is flagged before the tank is short. See SmartReg
How it works
From a shape in the dark to a record your insurer can read.
Detect
A person or vehicle shows up after hours.
Deter
Lights, siren and a voice warning — in English or Spanish.
Alert
The clip goes to everyone who needs it at once, from the pumper to the superintendent, by app, text or WhatsApp. Nobody has to pass it on. Anyone who gets the alert can cancel it or escalate it from the Scopis AI app, so a false alarm is closed in seconds and a real one gets help fast.
Record
Every event is logged in Scopis AI for your insurer or the sheriff.
Human-verified monitoring is available on Eagle Ford sites through a licensed Texas monitoring partner: a trained operator checks every alert and calls your keyholders.
HoundLight is not rated for classified hazardous locations. We mount it outside classified zones: gates, fence lines, yards and lease roads.
Try it on your lease: 30-day pilot
We set up HoundLight at one or two of your gates or tank batteries, wherever you operate, for 30 days. You see every alert in the Scopis AI app as it happens. At the end you get a report of every person and vehicle detected after hours, so you can decide on real evidence.

Eagle Ford questions
Yes. Each alert goes to several people at once by app, text or WhatsApp, and you can set a schedule: night crew at night, day crew by day, or different people for each lease. Anyone who receives it can cancel or escalate it in the Scopis AI app.
