Watch the truck, even when it's parked for the night

A truck spends most of its life locked up on a street. Always Alert tells you if it moves, if someone's at the door, or if a camera gets covered, and wraps up the day's cash when you close the window.

What you'll hear about, wherever you park.

Each one opens on its clip. They're leads, not verdicts: you decide what happened.

  • Truck movedYour truck leaves its spot when it shouldn't.
  • Break-inSomeone at a door or window when you're closed.
  • TamperingA camera covered, moved or unplugged.
  • Loitering after hoursSomeone hanging around after close.
  • Drawer open, no saleThe cash drawer opens with no matching sale.With Square

A truck has two lives. Both are covered.

Know before morning.

If the truck moves, someone lingers at the door, or a camera gets covered, the clip is on your phone in seconds.

The cash drawer, on camera.

Connect Square, and a drawer that opens with no sale comes with the clip from the register.

Close the window. Read the day.

Alerts and how they were reviewed, cash exceptions, the lunch line and whether every camera stayed online, in a few plain lines.

About the wrap

Ask the cameras

Ask it like you'd ask a manager.

The answer comes back with the clips and numbers it found.

  • Did anyone come near the truck last night?
  • How many no-sale drawer opens this week?
  • When was the line longest on Saturday?

What it takes.

  • Needs a cellular router

    A truck has no fixed internet. We recommend a 5G router and a business data plan, about $380 for the router.

  • Mind the data

    Streaming four cameras all day uses about 325 GB a month, which needs an unthrottled data plan. We'll size it with you during your pilot.

  • Power from the truck

    A small 12 V UPS runs the router, the bridge and four cameras off the truck's battery.
