A system that monitors a cargo space 301 of e.g. a truck 302 and provides an alert when one or more people e.g. intruders, refugees 303 are identified. The system has one or more sensors 102 dependent upon the monitoring requirements of the cargo space, and may include CO2, pressure, optical, infra-red, sound, humidity, temperature, motion and thermal imaging, and/or door 106 sensors. The sensors data are processed by a unit within the cargo space and communicate with a remote centre that can monitor and control the system. The processor may have an illuminated SOS help button 105, back up battery power, GPS 110, memory storage, and a video camera, speaker and microphone for live two-way monitoring / communication of the cargo space. A pre-recorded message may also be triggered or played to deter an intruder. The system may be activated automatically or manually by an authorised user; or activated automatically when a geo-fence boundary has been crossed. When the system is activated an alert will be automatically generated should the cargo space doors be opened, or the SOS help button activated. An alert/warning may be sent by email, SMS to users e.g. driver of a truck.
