Remote yard monitoring in Midland

Local and live

Along I-20, between the frac sand yards and the Spraberry Trend

Midland sits on Interstate 20 above the Permian Basin, which outside estimates credit with roughly a fifth of the country's total oil and natural gas output, anchored locally by the Spraberry Trend, the country's third-largest oil field by total reserves. Frac sand for well completions is hauled by truck from rail-served transfer points to well sites across Midland, Odessa and the surrounding counties, with haulers running pneumatic and bottom-drop trailers around the clock to keep well completions on schedule. Midland International Air and Space Port adds commercial and cargo capacity on top of that truck network.

FBI 2024 data puts Midland's overall motor vehicle theft and burglary counts below both the Texas and national figures, but that broad trend doesn't capture the equipment and trailer theft tied to the oil boom. West Texas sheriffs have flagged a rise in trailer theft specifically: Midland County Sheriff David Criner said in 2025 that living in an oil-driven area means 'we've had several businesses fall victim,' with stolen equipment recovered as far away as Chicago. In June 2026, court documents said a Midland man faced felony charges after investigators recovered 11 stolen oilfield sand-hauling trailers, worth about $459,000, across Midland, Ector, Winkler, Glasscock, Taylor and Martin counties, with the trailers' VINs and manufacturer markings allegedly altered to hide where they came from.

Coverage works in two parts at a Midland site: around the clock, 365 days a year, an agent is watching every camera live, and the moment AI person and vehicle detection flags someone near a parked trailer or piece of frac equipment, that agent verifies it on video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls in police along with your own contacts. Gate Operations and Yard Operations add driver checks and trailer inspections for sites running both.
