Solar-Powered, Rapid-Deployment Surveillance for Remote & Temporary Sites
A remote surveillance trailer is a self-contained, solar-powered security unit that deploys directly on your site, with no electrical hookup, trenching or permits. Mobile Vision Technologies builds these trailers in Memphis, TN, and sells them for $36,000 or leases them from $1,000 for the first month, with AI person and vehicle detection, license plate recognition and cellular streaming built in.
Unlike a fixed camera system that’s tied to a building’s power and network, a mobile surveillance trailer runs entirely off-grid. Solar panels charge an onboard battery bank, a telescoping mast lifts the cameras above the site, and a cellular connection streams everything to the cloud. Our crew has it live within hours of arrival, and when your project moves, the trailer moves with it.
• Solar power system — solar panels paired with an onboard battery bank sized to run several days without direct sun, so coverage doesn’t drop overnight or during stretches of bad weather.
• Telescoping mast — raises cameras well above eye level for wide-area coverage across a lot, yard, or perimeter, and folds down for towing between sites.
• AI-powered PTZ and fixed cameras — real-time person and vehicle detection, with pan-tilt-zoom cameras for wide coverage and fixed cameras for dedicated chokepoints like gates and entrances.
• License plate recognition — captures and logs vehicle plates at entry points, useful for tracking deliveries, staff, and unauthorized visitors.
• Cellular connectivity — streams live video and alerts to the cloud with no dependence on site Wi-Fi or a landline connection.
• Active deterrence — onboard lights and audio warnings trigger automatically when the AI flags activity in a restricted zone, engaging a potential threat before it becomes a loss.
• Cloud video management — check live feeds, review flagged events, and manage detection zones remotely from a phone or computer.
Our trailers don’t just capture footage for someone to review after the fact. The onboard AI actively watches the video feed and classifies what it sees — distinguishing a person from a vehicle, and a vehicle from a stray animal or a passing shadow — so alerts only fire for the events that matter. Detection zones are fully customizable, so a fence line or equipment yard gets flagged and a public sidewalk or roadway doesn’t.
