Smarter Guarding. Safer Teams. Stronger Margins.
The SentryPODS Virtual Guard Kit gives guard companies the ability to extend their reach with fewer on-site personnel while operating more safely and profitably. By combining video surveillance, intercom verification, and remote gate control over cellular or Starlink, guards can manage access from anywhere without exposing themselves to unnecessary risks. Every interaction is securely recorded in the Fortress VMS, ensuring prosecution-ready evidence when it matters most. This solution is built for locations where traditional guarding is difficult, expensive, or unsafe: on construction sites, it secures gates, equipment, and access points without the need for constant staffing; in multi-tenant housing, it improves resident safety by allowing remote operators to verify visitors and deliveries before granting access; government facilities gain strengthened perimeters and reduced risk to staff; industrial yards and warehouses benefit from continuous oversight of valuable assets; and even remote critical infrastructure stays protected through reliable connectivity. Guard companies choose the Virtual Guard Kit because it enables them to cover more ground, reduce physical confrontations, and operate at higher margins by lowering costs while delivering premium service—and the benefits of virtual guarding continue to multiply for firms seeking to scale without added risk.
Cover More Ground With Virtual Guards. One guard can now monitor and unlock multiple access points from hundreds of miles away — in real-time.
Engineered for Easy Setup. Designed for Any Location.
Whether you’re securing construction sites, multi-tenant housing, government facilities, industrial yards, or critical infrastructure, the SentryPODS Virtual Guard System is designed to increase security, strengthen business margins, and make your team more efficient. Clients gain confidence knowing their assets are protected, while your company builds greater trust by delivering reliable, prosecution-ready coverage. Deployment is fast—units arrive fully preconfigured and begin streaming video to The Fortress, our cloud-based monitoring dashboard, the moment they are powered on. With connectivity through cellular and Starlink, your team is up and running in minutes, not days, ensuring seamless surveillance and access control in even the most remote environments.
Single Site Guard Augmentation
Video Feed & Access Control Where No WiFi or Power Exists
At a single location, the SentryPODS Virtual Guard Kit delivers everything needed for reliable remote access control. A rugged camera unit connects over cellular or Starlink and provides a Wi-Fi hotspot that powers an intercom at the gate. When someone arrives, the intercom allows them to request entry while the camera streams live video to the Fortress VMS. A remote operator can instantly verify who is at the gate, decide whether access should be granted, and log every interaction with prosecution-ready video evidence. This eliminates the need for a physical guard to stand post while still maintaining high-level security.
Protect Multiple Sites Remotely
Remote & Scalable Access Control For Guard Companies
For guard companies managing multiple sites, the Virtual Guard Kit scales into a powerful business advantage. Remote operators can monitor several properties at once, from construction sites and government facilities to multi-tenant housing and industrial yards, reducing the number of guards required on the ground. This means firms can cover more territory, lower labor costs, protect their teams from physical confrontations, and earn higher margins while offering clients a premium security service. The benefits of virtual guarding extend well beyond safety—helping guard companies grow profitably while delivering smarter, more efficient coverage.

CEO & CREATOR OF SENTRYPODS
MEET BRENT CANFIELD
After concluding a nine-year active-duty career in the United States Marine Corps, Brent founded Smart Digital (the parent company of SentryPODS) in 2007.
Just like the battlefield, intelligence is strategic, and speed and mobility are critical. In 2015, the mayhem caused by the Boston Marathon bombing inspired Brent to create SentryPODS, (Protective Overt Deployable Surveillance) in response to the market demand for an autonomous surveillance platform.
