Equipment rentals · Surveillance Tower
A compact solar and LTE mast for job sites, yards and events. This is a rental. It is not a towable trailer: the tower has a wheeled base and no hitch, and it is placed or rolled on site. The surveillance trailer on this page is the towable unit, with four deterrence cameras and a PTZ.

Texas median security guard wage (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025, via O*NET)
A month is about 730 hours. On a 12-month term that's about $2.32 an hour for video-verified alarm response ($1,695/mo) or about $2.60 an hour with live talk-down ($1,895/mo), before delivery and tax. All-in, with 8.25% tax and a hub-region delivery spread over 12 months, the video-verified plan is about $1,905 a month, or about $2.61 an hour.
For comparison, the median wage for a security guard in Texas is $17.30 an hour (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025, via O*NET). That's the guard's pay, before agency markup and tax (guard services are taxable in Texas too), supervision, or insurance. Covering just nights and weekends (about 108 hours a week, or about 468 hours a month) at that wage alone is about $8,100 a month.
A camera trailer doesn't replace a guard's physical presence. It can't patrol, physically intervene, or respond in person. The guard figure is the Texas median wage only, not a quote from any security company, and it excludes their markup, supervision and insurance.

FAQ
No. The best rate is on a 12-month term, and 6–11 month and month-to-month options are also available.
Delivery in as little as 24 hours, depending on availability.
No. It runs on solar and battery power. LTE service is required, so we'll ask you about LTE coverage at your site.
On Video-Verified, an operator reviews alarm video and follows your call list, including contacting police. Live Talk-Down adds the operator speaking through the trailer speaker.
Repair or replacement of trailer equipment that fails in normal use is included at no extra charge. Other service visits are billed at our standard rates, including cleaning cameras or solar panels, relocating the trailer, and damage from misuse, vandalism, theft, accidents, or weather. The renter is responsible for loss of or damage to the trailer from delivery until pickup, including storm and hail damage, and must carry insurance on the trailer, with a certificate of insurance before delivery. Details are in the rental agreement.
Our trailers are built with battery systems designed to keep running for multiple days without direct sunlight. Actual run time depends on weather, temperature, battery condition, and camera and alert activity. Extended stretches of heavy clouds, short winter days, or shading can still drain the batteries. If that happens, the unit may shut down, pausing recording, viewing, alerts and monitoring until it recharges. If a battery runs low, it can usually be recharged in several hours with a generator or site power. You can connect your own generator to the trailer's outside charging inlet, following our hookup instructions. If you'd rather we come out, recharge visits are billed as a service call and aren't included in your rental. If your site needs uninterrupted coverage, talk to us before you rent.
