PHYSICAL SECURITY

Verkada MT81 Security Trailer — Multi-Camera Site Security Without Any Infrastructure

Up to six cloud-managed Verkada cameras. Battery powered. 4G connected. Delivered to your site. Full Verkada AI, LPR, and remote management — anywhere you need it.

The Verkada MT81 is a cloud-managed security trailer that puts up to six fully configured Verkada cameras on a self-powered, cellular-connected unit — without requiring a power outlet, internet connection, or any site infrastructure at all. It arrives by flatbed, positions on-site, and is live on Verkada Command immediately.

For construction site managers who’ve watched equipment disappear overnight, retail operators with parking lots that are effectively unmonitored after hours, and event coordinators who need documented security footage — the MT81 is the answer to ‘how do we get cameras there when there’s no power and no internet?’

What the MT81 Actually Is — And What Makes It Different

Most temporary security solutions involve either renting a standalone camera that records locally with no remote access, or hiring a security guard. The MT81 is different in every dimension: it’s a full Verkada deployment on a mobile platform — the same cloud management, the same AI analytics, the same LPR and real-time alerts as a permanent Verkada installation, on a unit that can be positioned anywhere a flatbed truck can reach.

Up to 6 Verkada Cameras

Configure the MT81 with up to six cameras and a gateway. Full coverage of a construction site entrance, a parking perimeter, or an event venue from a single deployed unit.

Two Battery Variants

MT81-6KWH for standard deployments. MT81-13KWH for longer runtime, lower-sunlight locations, or higher device counts. We recommend the right variant for your conditions.

Full Verkada Cloud Platform

Every camera is a fully configured Verkada camera — AI person and vehicle detection, LPR, real-time alerts, smart video search, and Verkada Command access from any device.

4G Cellular Connectivity

Built-in cellular connectivity — no site internet required. Cameras are live on Verkada Command from the moment the trailer is commissioned.

Rapid Deployment

Delivered by flatbed. Positioned on-site. Commissioned by a certified installer. Your cameras are live the same day the trailer arrives.

Deterrence Presence

The physical trailer is a visible security presence. For construction sites and event venues, the trailer's presence is part of the security value — not just the cameras on it.

Who Needs the MT81 in Utah — The Three Conversations

FROM THE FIELD

Construction GCs: Equipment theft at job sites is a constant problem in Utah’s active construction market. Heavy equipment, copper, tools, and materials represent significant losses when a site is unmonitored overnight. The most common request we get from general contractors isn’t ‘can you install cameras’ — it’s ‘can you have cameras operational before we start storing equipment on-site.’ The MT81 answers that: it can be live before the first piece of equipment is delivered, and it moves with the project as the site evolves.

FROM THE FIELD

Retail and warehouse parking: Large surface parking lots — retail centers, logistics hubs, warehousing facilities — often have perimeters that are functionally unmonitored because running infrastructure to every coverage point is prohibitively expensive. The MT81 puts 4-6 cameras anywhere in that perimeter without a single conduit run.

FROM THE FIELD

Events and festivals: Temporary event security typically means renting equipment that records locally and isn’t monitored in real time. The MT81 is a full cloud-managed Verkada deployment — event staff and security coordinators can monitor footage live from their phones, receive AI-powered alerts, and have documented footage available immediately after the event.

MT81 Variants — Choosing the Right Battery

Utah WinterAssess sun exposure carefullyPreferred for northern Utah or extended deployments

Brivy IT uses Verkada’s trailer configurator to estimate uptime, battery runtime, and cost for any configuration and deployment location before recommending a variant. We factor in your specific location’s solar conditions, device count, and seasonal requirements — particularly relevant for Utah deployments that may span winter months.

Also From Verkada — Lighter Remote Camera Options

Not every remote camera situation needs a full trailer deployment.

Verkada CR63-E Remote Camera

A standalone solar-powered Verkada camera with built-in 4G cellular. One camera, one location, no infrastructure. Full Verkada AI and cloud management.

Verkada GC31-E Cellular Gateway

Connects existing Verkada cameras to cellular rather than wired internet. If you have Verkada cameras at a location that loses internet, the GC31-E provides connectivity.

The Deployment Process

What Working With Brivy IT Looks Like

1. Pre-Deployment Site Assessment

Sun exposure for solar capacity, cellular signal from multiple carriers, positioning options, and flatbed access routes. Verkada's configurator estimates uptime for your specific setup.

2. Configuration Design

We recommend the right MT81 variant, camera count and types, based on your coverage requirements and location conditions.

3. Delivery Coordination

MT81 trailers are delivered by flatbed truck and require forklift unloading. We coordinate all delivery logistics — site access, scheduling, and equipment.

4. Installation and Commission

On-site setup, camera installation, gateway configuration, and full Verkada Command commission. Live on your account the day of installation.

5. Ongoing Monitoring

We monitor power usage, solar performance, and cellular connectivity to ensure continuous uptime. We identify issues before they become outages.

6. Relocation and Retrieval

When your deployment ends or project moves, we coordinate trailer relocation or retrieval. For subscription arrangements, this is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cameras can the MT81 support?
Up to six cameras and a gateway on a single trailer. We design the camera configuration based on your coverage requirements — camera type, field of view, IR range — and recommend the device count that closes your specific gaps.
How long can it run without sun?
It depends on the variant and device configuration. The MT81-6KWH supports standard deployments with adequate sun exposure. The MT81-13KWH is designed for extended runtime and lower-sunlight locations — we recommend it for Utah winter deployments.
Can it be rented instead of purchased?
The MT81 can be offered as a purchase, subscription, or rental arrangement. We discuss the right commercial model based on your deployment duration and how frequently you'd use it.
How does the MT81 compare to the SolarShield MAX?
Scale and platform. The MT81 supports up to 6 cameras on the full Verkada platform — a serious multi-camera perimeter deployment. The SolarShield MAX is a 1-2 camera Turing unit designed for frequent repositioning and single coverage points.
What does delivery and installation involve?
The MT81 is delivered by flatbed truck and requires forklift equipment to unload. We coordinate site access, scheduling, and unloading. Once on-site, we install and commission all cameras. The trailer is live on Verkada Command the day of installation.
Is Brivy IT certified to deploy the MT81?
We are confirming our QTP (Qualified Trailer Partner) status with Verkada. Contact us directly to discuss your project and timeline — we will be transparent about our current deployment capability.
