Cloud-managed mobile security for places without fixed power or network access.
The Verkada MT81 Cloud-Managed Security Trailer brings AI video security, license plate recognition, video alarms, and visible crime deterrence to parking lots, events, campuses, construction areas, critical infrastructure, and temporary public safety missions.
Deploy intelligent mobile security almost anywhere
The MT81 extends Verkada’s cloud-managed video platform to locations where traditional surveillance infrastructure is not available, not practical, or not yet installed. For public safety and site security teams, that means faster coverage, better deterrence, and remote access to live and recorded video without waiting for a full construction project.
Flexible Verkada device support
Support for up to six Verkada cameras, a BZ11 horn speaker, and a GC31-E cellular gateway.
Two battery options
Available with battery configurations designed for different deployment durations and power profiles.
Purpose-built for field use
Solar power, onboard battery reserve, remote power management, and visible strobe deterrence in one mobile platform.
No power, no problem
The solar-powered MT81 is built for mobile deployments where fixed power and network access may not exist. Connect Verkada devices to the included managed PoE switch, deploy the trailer, and manage security from Verkada Command.
Add Verkada cameras
Build the camera package around the mission, including general surveillance, PTZ coverage, LPR, and site-specific views.
Deter crime with video alarms
Use video alarms and talk-down workflows to help discourage trespassing, loitering, vandalism, theft, and after-hours activity.
Access remotely anytime
View live feeds, investigate recorded footage, and manage trailer-connected devices from a browser, tablet, or smartphone.

Find people and vehicles quickly using advanced AI
Security teams should not have to scrub through hours of video to find what matters. Verkada’s AI-powered search helps authorized users identify people, vehicles, motion, images, and relevant activity faster.
- Search footage using motion, face, image, or plain-text queries.
- Save important searches as smart alerts.
- Receive SMS or push notifications when matching activity is detected.
- Support faster investigations for theft, loitering, trespassing, illegal dumping, or vehicle-related incidents.
Detect and deter crime before damage is done
The MT81 can support a proactive security posture by combining visible deterrence, video alarms, and remote response workflows. Instead of only recording incidents, the trailer can help security teams detect activity and respond while the situation is still developing.
- Detect activity such as trespassing or loitering.
- Support verification by trained monitoring agents.
- Enable talk-down responses to discourage intruders.
- Notify your team and support police dispatch workflows where configured.
Gain vehicle intelligence with advanced LPR
Standard video may show that something happened. License plate recognition can help identify which vehicle was involved. Add Verkada LPR bullet cameras to support vehicle investigations, traffic monitoring points, and entrance or exit coverage.
- Capture inbound and outbound vehicle activity.
- Support high-resolution plate captures, including low-light conditions.
- Search by partial or full license plate.
- Improve response time for vandalism, break-ins, illegal dumping, and vehicle-related incidents.
Review footage remotely from any device
Verkada Command allows authorized teams to access high-resolution camera feeds remotely from a smartphone, tablet, or browser. This is especially valuable for agencies, security teams, and command staff managing multiple locations or temporary deployments.
- Access live and recorded video remotely.
- Support existing security workflows through select GSOC integrations.
- Protect footage with encryption at rest and in transit.
- Keep situational awareness available to the people who need it most.
