Field Surveillance

Field Surveillance • Rural + Urban • Motion-Activated • Long-Duration Monitoring

Field Surveillance Systems for Rural & Urban Operations

Field surveillance is built for the cases that happen infrequently, across large areas, or in places that are hard to staff— from rural dumping sites and trail corridors to urban alleys, vacant lots, and critical-infrastructure right-of-ways. MAXSUR solutions include motion-activated devices designed to remain dormant for months and then alert you the moment activity occurs. This collection supports long-duration monitoring for rural crime, metal theft, perimeter intrusion, laydown yards, remote facilities, and covert pole deployments (including systems like LongHorn and the GBOX Ultra pole camera).

Some items are restricted: Certain field surveillance products are available only to verified users.

Long-Duration Monitoring

Designed for extended deployments where regular servicing is difficult—days to months depending on configuration.

Motion-Triggered Evidence

Capture activity when it happens—without constant live monitoring or a staffed stakeout.

Rural to Urban Flexibility

Conceal in brush, on structures, or via pole-based deployments—adaptable to outdoor and city environments.

Use Cases & Selection Considerations

Field surveillance is different than facility surveillance. Deployments often succeed or fail based on power, placement, concealment, and how quickly teams can retrieve evidence after an event. Many agencies evaluate low-light performance, trigger reliability, storage/retention, and deployment concealment to reduce the chance of compromise—especially for theft, dumping, and perimeter intrusion where suspects may revisit the same location.

LongHorn (Pole & Elevated Deployments)

Rapid pole-based coverage for rural roads, perimeters, and remote approaches—ideal when height and standoff matter.
