Virtual Fence
Virtual Fence
AI boundaries drawn exactly where you need them — around assets, perimeters, and the gaps physical fencing misses.
A physical fence stops honest people. A Clear Watch Virtual Fence catches everyone else — an AI boundary drawn exactly where you need it, watched every second, changed without pouring a single post.
Virtual Fence lets you draw protective boundaries directly in the camera view around key assets and facilities — and monitors them continuously to detect intrusion attempts before they progress. Unlike a physical barrier, the boundary can follow the exact shape of the asset it protects: hug a transformer pad, trace a fuel tank, wrap a row of inventory. And when the site changes, the fence changes with it — no construction, no permits, no contractor.
Each fence is configured independently: you set which crossing direction matters and which target types to watch for, so a vehicle crossing inbound at a gate triggers a different response than a person stepping over a boundary at the equipment yard. A filtering process ensures only genuine crossings raise events, keeping alerts meaningful for sites that run dozens of fences across a single property.
What It Does
Who Uses It
A Virtual Fence Inside the Physical One Detects the Climber the Moment They Land — Fifty Yards From the Asset.
Substations, pump stations, and tower sites need layered protection beyond the chain-link. A virtual boundary inside the perimeter means the alert fires the moment someone clears the fence — while they're still far enough from the asset for intervention to matter.
- Inner perimeter boundary independent of the physical fence line
- Alert fires at the moment of crossing — not when the asset is reached
- Covers substations, pump stations, tower sites, and unmanned facilities
Draw the Fence Around the Inventory Rows — Not Just the Lot Edge.
Anyone crossing into the vehicle lanes after close triggers an operator response before a door handle gets pulled. Virtual fencing targets the inventory itself — so the boundary is where the theft happens, not fifty feet away at the perimeter.
- Fence drawn around inventory rows, not just the outer lot perimeter
- Alert fires before a vehicle door handle is touched
- Live operator voice-down on every after-hours crossing
Site Boundaries Move Weekly. Redraw the Fence From a Screen in Minutes Instead of Relocating Temporary Fencing.
As phases progress and the site footprint shifts, virtual boundaries move with them — redrawn in minutes without relocating temporary fencing. Materials get protection the day they're delivered, not after the weekend they went missing.
- Boundaries redrawn in minutes as site phases progress
- Protects materials and equipment from the day of delivery
- No temporary fencing relocation required when boundaries change
Trailers and Generators Spread Across Acres Can't Each Get a Physical Enclosure.
Virtual fences around high-value rows deliver asset-level protection at camera-level cost. Generators, attachments, and trailers spread across a large yard each get their own boundary — without the cost or complexity of physical enclosures around every row.
- Asset-level boundaries around individual rows and equipment clusters
- Covers large yards without physical enclosures around every asset
- Scales across acreage at camera-level cost
Protect the Gaps Physical Security Misses — The Low Wall, the Easement, the Back Fence Line.
Virtual boundaries can be drawn anywhere within a camera view — including the spots physical security can't reach. The low wall behind building C, the easement along the back fence, the side corridor that's always been a blind spot — each gets its own boundary tuned for people, vehicles, or both.
- Boundaries placed anywhere within the camera view — including physical gaps
- Tunable per zone for people, vehicles, or both
- Covers easements, rear corridors, and low-wall vulnerabilities
How It Works
When a fence line is crossed, the event streams instantly to Clear Watch's monitoring operators, who assess the live video, issue a live audio voice-down over on-site speakers, and escalate to dispatch when warranted — including direct digital 911 delivery. The crossing is caught at the boundary, while the intruder is still on the perimeter and your assets are still untouched.
FAQs
-
Physical barriers slow intruders down; virtual fences make sure someone responds. Most sites use both — the virtual fence detects the crossing the physical fence couldn't prevent, and puts a live operator on it in seconds.
-
Yes — that's the point. Boundaries are drawn in software and can be reshaped, added, or removed at any time without construction, which makes Virtual Fence a fit for temporary sites, changing yards, and growing facilities.
-
Only if you want them to. Target types and crossing direction are configured per fence, so you can watch for inbound people on one boundary and any vehicle on another, each with its own response.
