Site CA-02 is live. Edge box mounted, mast in the air, cameras tuned on a laptop balanced on a ladder rung. Iron Hornet is now watching a working truck yard on the 710 corridor — twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Site CA-02 went live this week — a working truck yard on the 710 corridor.
Compton wasn't a friendly site for someone else's surveillance kit. The yard is busy, the masts are tall, and the operator had been burned by a previous system that promised cloud AI and delivered a wall of disconnected video.
So we did it the Iron Hornet way: a service truck full of edge boxes and antennas, two engineers, a ladder, and the operator standing next to us through the whole install.
The first feed came up while the second camera was still being torqued into the mast. The operator stood next to us, watched their own yard render in near-real time on the screen, and said the words we never get tired of hearing.
"Wait — it's already showing me my yard?"
Yes. That's the difference. Edge inference, not a cloud pipe. You see the yard the moment the camera is pointed at it. You ask plain-English questions the next morning when something feels off, and the system has the answers — because it's been watching since the second the mast was up.
Compton's first 72 hours of pattern-of-life data are flowing back to our team. Dwell times around the gate. Throughput by hour. The shape of "normal" for a yard we'd never seen before this Tuesday.
Texas. California. Next one is open. We'll map your site, scope a 30-day pilot, and bring the service truck.
