What Is a Remote Surveillance Trailer?

A remote surveillance trailer is a mobile, solar-powered camera platform that deploys anywhere without external power or a wired network. CTS trailers run cloud-native cameras with no NVR and no on-site recorder, so you monitor live video from any internet-connected device, anywhere in the world. Every unit is NDAA/TAA compliant and works with any ONVIF VMS or RTCC platform.

  • No NVR and no camera server. Cloud-native and ONVIF-open.
  • Autonomous 24/7 on 640W to 1,000W solar and a 48V LiFePO4 battery bank.
  • 256 GB edge storage plus 12 months of cloud storage included on every camera.
  • Deploy once, then monitor from iOS, Android, Windows, or any browser.

Every CTS trailer is solar-powered and runs off-grid. For the power system, runtime, and off-grid details, see how solar surveillance trailers work.

Ready-to-Deploy Solar Surveillance Trailers

It’s modular, just like building with Legos. You can mount your mast to a vehicle hitch, tripod, wall, or solar trailer. Add a camera, a light, or an antenna on top—customizing exactly what you need for any situation.

Not every operation requires the same solution. Police departments use our police camera trailers to monitor high-crime corridors, secure special events, and run extended deployments where a fixed camera position pays off over time. Gulf Shores PD ran an FXT-44 during spring break and seized six firearms. Knoxville PD runs multiple trailers alongside RATTs and a Fusus RTCC, with cameras feeding live into their real-time crime center around the clock. Elk Grove Village PD mounted a RATT on a vehicle hitch for a DUI checkpoint and had eyes up in minutes.

Some agencies need a solar-powered trailer that stays deployed for weeks with minimal attention. Others need a quick-deploy tower that mounts to a vehicle for tactical or event-based operations. In some cases, a field-swappable system that does both is the right call.

At Critical Tech Solutions, our systems are built to be mission-critical, user-friendly, and adaptable to whatever you’re running. Large public events, crime hotspots, military installations, border regions. Whichever platform fits your mission, you get technology designed to improve situational awareness from the first deployment.
