Autonomous solar-powered surveillance trailers for law enforcement, military, and public safety. Starting at $49,995. Zero external power required — deploy once and monitor from any internet-connected device, anywhere in the world. NDAA/TAA compliant. Works with any VMS or RTCC platform.
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.
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.

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.
CTS remote surveillance trailers start at $49,995, with fully configured flagship builds up to $69,995. There are no subscription fees and no leasing, and the purchase price includes the cameras, edge storage, and 12 months of cloud storage.
No. Every camera is cloud-native with onboard edge storage, so there is no NVR and no separate camera server to buy, house, or maintain.
