AI-powered guarding combines autonomous detection with 24/7 human response to protect construction sites without on-site guards
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sentry AI, a provider of AI-powered physical security, today announced the deployment of its 100th SolarGuard security trailer at a construction site, marking a major milestone in the company’s expansion of AI-powered guarding across construction sites nationwide.
Construction sites are persistent targets for copper, equipment, and material theft, resulting in costly losses and project delays. Traditional mobile camera towers can detect activity but often lack real-time follow-through, while on-site security guards can be prohibitively expensive.
Sentry AI’s SolarGuard combines solar-powered security hardware, Cloud AI, and a 24/7 security operations center. The system detects unauthorized activity and intrusions, while remote security agents validate alerts against each site’s security plan and can initiate real-time response, including dispatching law enforcement when appropriate.
Across its construction deployments, Sentry AI has practically eliminated theft and security incidents by human-in-the-loop taking real-time action an average of four suspicious events per site each week.
“Security at construction sites must work with zero site infrastructure and zero delay. No site power, no wired internet, and no time to wait for a patrol guard to come by and discover that something is wrong,” said Uday Kiran Chaka, CEO of Sentry AI. “SolarGuard watches every site continuously and puts a real person with full context in the loop within seconds of a real threat.”
“Traditional onsite guards were simply too expensive for our changing construction needs. Sentry AI’s mobile solar trailers and Smart Guard gave us comparable, if not better, security at about one-fifth the cost—and the flexibility to adapt as the project evolved,” said Ravi N., Board Member at CSMT.
The newly released Sentry AI v11 along with the SolarGuard units are available now to new and existing customers to prevent theft and vandalism at construction sites. To learn more, visit smartsentry.ai.
