Remote Surveillance Trailer FAQ
How much does a remote surveillance trailer cost?
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.
Do CTS surveillance trailers require an NVR?
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.
How are remote surveillance trailers powered?
Each trailer runs on 640W to 1,000W of articulating solar panels charging a 48V LiFePO4 battery bank for autonomous 24/7 operation. Shore power is standard on every unit, and the FXT-46 is generator-ready. For the full power breakdown, see how solar power runs a trailer 24/7.
Do remote surveillance trailers work without cell service?
Yes. Trailers ship with a 5G LTE router, and Starlink is available as an option, including bonded Starlink and 5G, so you stay connected in areas with weak or no cellular coverage.
Are CTS remote surveillance trailers NDAA compliant?
Yes. Every CTS trailer is NDAA and TAA compliant, which clears them for law enforcement, military, and federal procurement.
What video platforms do CTS trailers work with?
Any ONVIF-compatible VMS or RTCC platform. Cameras ingest cleanly into systems like Fusus, Genetec, Milestone, and Airship with no proprietary lock-in.
