Oil & gas · USA
Oilfield security for sites with no power and nobody on watch.
HoundLight is a solar 4G unit that goes up on a pole in minutes at the lease gate, fence line or pipe yard. It spots people after hours, gives them a verbal warning to leave, flashes blue and red lights and sends the clip to your field team. From the Permian and Eagle Ford to the Bakken and Appalachia.
Why operators are adding cameras
Three things pushing oil and gas producers to put cameras on remote sites.
41% of oil and gas firms said theft affected their operations in the past year. Among producers hit, 61% lost crude oil, 58% piping, valves and wiring, and 39% equipment.
Dallas Fed Energy Survey, Q3 2025Texas responded in 2025: HB 48 created an organized oilfield theft prevention unit at DPS, SB 494 set up the State Task Force on Petroleum Theft (STOPTheft) at the Railroad Commission, and SB 1806 lets DPS inspect cargo tanks suspected of hauling stolen crude.
Texas TribuneMost leases have no power, no broadband and nobody on site after dark, which is exactly when loads, valves and copper go missing.

Where HoundLight goes
Solar 4G units for the sites power lines don't reach.
Lease road gates
Watch the way vehicles actually come in, and catch the ones that shouldn't.
Tank battery perimeters
Fence-line coverage around tanks, without trenching a single foot of power.
Pipe and laydown yards
Keep eyes on stacked pipe, tools and materials across large open yards.
Saltwater disposal and frac water sites
Monitor unattended water sites that sit far off the main road.
Compressor station fence lines
Cover remote fence lines where running power and broadband is impractical.
Equipment and vehicle yards
Protect parked rigs, pumps, winches and trucks between shifts.
Watch the load-out, not just the gate
Crude theft usually happens at the tank battery: a truck backs up to the load line at night and leaves with a load nobody ordered. Mount HoundLight on a pole outside the classified area, facing the load-out. After hours it spots the truck or person, switches on its lights, plays a warning in English or Spanish, and sends the clip with the time to your field team. Pair it with SmartReg at the lease gate and every load can be matched to a plate.
Every truck at the gate, on record
ANPR at the lease gate reads every vacuum truck and pickup plate, logs the time and flags vehicles that aren't on your approved list. Reconcile the gate log against your run tickets, and a missing load points to a plate and a time.

How it works
From a shape in the dark to a record your insurer can read.
Detect
A person 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.
Prefer a monitoring center on watch? Human-verified monitoring is available in Texas through a licensed monitoring partner, and in other states on request.
Built for the oilfield
No infrastructure, no fixed address, no problem.
Solar and battery
4G cellular
No trenching or electrician

Managed across every site in Scopis AI

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 detected after hours, so you can decide on real evidence.
Live in minutes, no power or Wi-Fi needed
