Explore the cameras, lighting and loudspeaker, and their connection to Core’s Operations Team.

A Mobile Surveillance Unit, also referred to as a security camera trailer, mobile surveillance trailer, or mobile security tower, is a physical security solution that combines cameras, lighting, detection technology, and remote monitoring to help reduce risk across a wide range of industries.

They can be used in place of security staffing or alongside on-site personnel to strengthen deterrence, improve visibility, and support faster response.

Deployment & placement

Do Mobile Surveillance Units need power or internet?

Core Mobile Surveillance Units are self-contained security solutions that operate without external power or fixed internet. Each unit generates its own power, connects through its own dedicated network, and can be deployed in remote or hard-to-secure environments.

How quickly can Core deploy a Mobile Surveillance Unit?

Delivery averages 1–2 weeks in the Southeast. Locations farther away can take up to 4 weeks. Timing depends on unit availability, site access, location, and your project requirements. Contact Core to confirm the delivery date for your site. Once on site, security is usually set up within 30 minutes.

Can Mobile Surveillance Units be moved?

Core’s Mobile Surveillance Units are solar-powered trailer systems that can be easily repositioned as your project changes. Units can be moved throughout different phases of construction, shifted to higher-risk areas, or relocated as site security needs change.

Are Mobile Surveillance Units good for construction sites, parking lots, and laydown yards?

Core’s Mobile Surveillance Units are well-suited for construction sites, parking lots, laydown yards, healthcare facilities, commercial properties, government sites, critical infrastructure, energy and utility locations, and other challenging environments that require flexible security coverage.

Cameras & coverage

How many cameras are on a Core Mobile Surveillance Unit?

Each Core Mobile Surveillance Unit includes two high-definition pan-tilt-zoom cameras and one 360-degree camera. The pan-tilt-zoom cameras can be controlled remotely to zoom in on activity up to 500 feet away. Infrared technology supports visibility after dark.

How long is footage stored?

Each Core Mobile Surveillance Unit stores footage locally for up to 30 days, making video retrieval simple for incident review and investigations. Footage can be accessed by authorized users or retrieved with support from Core’s Operations team.

What is the difference between an MSU and fixed cameras?

Fixed cameras require power and network connectivity. Core’s Mobile Surveillance Units operate independently from existing infrastructure or can be integrated into your current security video management system. Unlike fixed cameras that are often hidden or limited in visibility, Core’s Mobile Units create a visible security presence that helps deter unwanted activity instead of simply recording it.

Monitoring & response

What monitoring options are available, and can MSUs replace security guards?

Core offers live monitoring in four tiers: 24/7, nights and weekends, nights only, or a custom schedule. We agree on monitoring hours and response procedures around your property’s needs. Core Mobile Surveillance Units can replace security guards in many situations or work alongside existing security staff. Your team can be granted access to cameras, alerts, and site activity, creating a stronger security program with better visibility, faster response, and more efficient coverage. Monitoring costs decrease when you rent more than one Mobile Surveillance Unit. Contact Core for a quote based on your site and monitoring needs.

What happens after an alert?

Each Mobile Surveillance Unit deployment is different, and every site operates under its own approved Scope of Work. If an after-hours human detection alert is triggered, a Core Operator reviews and qualifies the event, then follows the appropriate response procedure. Depending on the approved site protocol, this may include contacting law enforcement, escalating to designated management, contacting onsite personnel, sounding the loudspeaker, activating deterrent lighting, or initiating approved alarm sounds.
