HoundLight Replaces the CCTV Trailer
HoundLight delivers the same coverage and deterrence as a traditional CCTV or security trailer, without the trailer itself. It was developed from the IC chip level for low power by ImageDeep's hardware engineers, with AI design at its heart. Handheld, mounted by one person in minutes — no dedicated trailer required.
HoundLight was designed in-house by ImageDeep's hardware engineers from the IC chip up for low power, with AI at its core. ImageDeep leads by example and innovation in physical AI security.
Side by side: CCTV trailer vs HoundLight
What is a solar security trailer?
A solar security trailer (also called a CCTV tower trailer or mobile surveillance unit) is a towable trailer with a tall mast, several cameras, solar panels and a battery bank, often with a generator for winter. It is built to watch a wide, open area from one high point. It needs delivery, a level parking space and usually a few days to set up, and the trailer itself is large and visible.
A trailer arrives on a truck. HoundLight arrives in a box.
The form factor is the difference. A CCTV or security trailer is towed equipment that needs a vehicle, a parking space and a crew; HoundLight is a boxed, battery-powered AI camera unit — solar panel included, no wiring needed — that one person carries to the gate and mounts in minutes.
A trailer deployment
- Scheduled delivery or collection with a tow vehicle
- A level, secure parking pad on site
- Days from arrival to first live camera
HoundLight, out of the box
- Delivered by courier in its own box
- Carried and mounted by one person in minutes
- No wiring and no electricity required — solar and 4G built in
When a trailer is the better choice
- Very large open sites with no single gate to guard
- Temporary events and short-term deployments
- Sites that need many cameras from one high point
When HoundLight is the better choice
- One to 1,000 gates or access points, all unified via the centralised Scopis AI enterprise portal
- Farms, yards and builders' merchants
- Small and mid-size construction sites
- Sites where space at the gate matters
Common trailer buyer questions
What trailer buyers ask before switching
No power or internet on site
HoundLight runs on solar + battery with a bundled 4G SIM, so it delivers trailer-grade coverage exactly where a CCTV trailer would sit — with no tow, no level pad and no site power.
Need to relocate coverage as the site changes
Unclip the alarm unit and remount it where the risk has moved — a scaffold, crane, pole or temporary post. Coverage follows your site in minutes, with no towing or re-levelling.
Cost compared with trailer rental
There is no trailer to hire, tow, fuel or insure, and no delivery and collection windows to wait for. Start on the pricing page, or ask for a like-for-like quote against your current security trailer rental.
Deployment time and labour
The alarm unit is handheld and mounts in minutes by one person. No tow vehicle, no licence, no mast crank, no second pair of hands at the gate.
Transport efficiency
No dedicated trailer per unit. Up to 400 units travel in a single transport, so multi-gate and multi-site rollouts arrive in one run.
Placement flexibility
Not restricted to lanes or roads. The alarm unit works on scaffolding, cranes, poles and temporary posts — the places theft actually happens.
The engineering approach

How many gates?
Illustrative — get an exact quote.
Can I use both?
Yes. Many sites use a tower trailer to overview the compound and HoundLight units on the gates and the plant yard, all managed in one Scopis AI view.
On oilfield leases
Trailers suit drilling and completion sites that need a wide view for a few weeks. Producing leases are different: many small gates, tank batteries and load-outs spread over miles. A HoundLight on each gate or load-out covers the points where theft happens, with no towing between leases.
