Stop tool theft from tradesman vans and trucks
The van that guards its own tools
A lot of utilities and tools get stolen from tradesman vans and trucks — a single break-in can wipe out thousands in kit and days of work. This is what we find tradesmen are now doing: pointing an ImageDeep unit at the van on the drive and the truck on the job, so a light and voice warning fire the moment someone forces a door.

Where to put it
Where ImageDeep watches on a tradesman vans & trucks site.
Van on the drive
Watches the tradesman's van parked at home overnight.
Job-site vehicle
Guards the work truck left at the site after hours.
Tool store
Covers the van or container where the expensive kit sits.
Inside the van
Houndlight can sit inside the van, protecting the tools from the inside out — light and a voice warning fire the moment a door's forced.
Yard bay
Sees the parking bay where the fleet parks up.
The 2:04am scenario
It's 2:04am. The van is parked on the drive, loaded for tomorrow's job. A figure slips up the side gate and tries the sliding door. Before the lock gives, a unit on the eaves floods the drive with light and a voice warning fires: 'This property is monitored. Leave now.' They drop the crowbar and jog off down the street. The tradesman reviews the verified clip on his phone before breakfast — the tools, and the day's work, are still in the van.
Illustrative scenario — no real customer implied.
