When your property, job site, or event needs an extra layer of protection, a mobile surveillance trailer can be a game-changing solution. At Deetur Security, we make the rental process straightforward, fast, and tailored to your needs, whether you’re securing a vacant commercial property, monitoring a construction site, or safeguarding valuable equipment in a remote location.
Here’s exactly what you can expect when you rent a mobile surveillance trailer from us - from the first conversation to the day it’s up and running on your site.

Step 1: Your Initial Consultation
It all starts with a quick conversation. When you reach out to Deetur, we’ll ask a few key questions to understand:
What type of site you’re securing (construction, vacant property, event space, industrial yard, etc.)
How large the area is and any known problem spots
The specific threats you’re concerned about (theft, vandalism, trespassing, etc.)
How long you’ll need the trailer
This helps us recommend the right setup for your property - whether that’s a single trailer or multiple units strategically placed for full coverage.
We’ll also explain how our trailers work, what features they come with, and how our 24/7 live monitoring integrates into your security plan.
Step 2: A Customized Security Plan
No two sites are exactly alike, so your surveillance trailer setup should match your unique challenges. Our team creates a customized plan that outlines:
Camera placement for maximum visibility
Coverage zones to eliminate blind spots
Any additional security integrations, such as motion detection alerts or loudspeaker capabilities
Recommendations for lighting placement to enhance camera performance at night
Because we’ve worked with everything from HOA communities to large-scale commercial projects, we know how to design a plan that keeps both security and efficiency in mind.
Step 3: Quick Turnaround - From Request to Deployment in About 2 Weeks
We know security needs can’t wait. That’s why we work quickly - most mobile surveillance trailer rentals are on-site within two weeks from your initial request.
This timeline includes:
Finalizing your rental agreement
Preparing and testing the trailer to ensure all systems are working perfectly
Coordinating delivery and setup at your site
Our team handles everything, from positioning the trailer for optimal camera coverage to powering it up and connecting it to our monitoring systems. Once it’s installed, it’s live and watching within hours.
Step 4: The Minimum Rental Term & Discounts
Our mobile surveillance trailers are available with a three-month minimum rental term. This ensures your site has consistent protection and allows us to provide cost-effective service.
If you know you’ll need long-term coverage, we offer a 25% discount for rentals of six months or longer. This is especially popular for extended construction projects, commercial remodels, and properties awaiting tenants.
Step 5: 24/7 Live Monitoring by Security Professionals
The real value of a Deetur trailer isn’t just in the cameras - it’s in the people watching them. All our mobile surveillance trailers are monitored live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by trained security professionals.
Here’s what that means for you:
Suspicious activity is spotted in real time, not hours later.
Our team can issue audio warnings directly from the trailer to deter intruders.
If needed, we can dispatch local law enforcement immediately.
This proactive approach prevents incidents instead of simply recording them.
Step 6: No Purchase Necessary - It’s All Rental, All Managed for You
Some companies offer mobile surveillance trailers for purchase, but we believe renting is the smarter option for most projects. Why?
You don’t have to maintain or store the equipment.
We handle all repairs and updates.
You can scale up or down depending on your security needs.
Once your rental term is complete, we remove the trailer - no hassle, no extra equipment left behind.
Step 7: Ongoing Support & Check-Ins
Even after installation, we don’t disappear. Our support team is available to answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and make adjustments if your site layout changes.
If your project expands or moves to a new phase, we can reposition the trailer for better coverage or add additional units to meet new demands.
