The Complete Guide to LVT Mobile Security Units

November 18, 2025

Security technology keeps changing, and many organizations are looking for tools that close visibility gaps without adding new infrastructure or slowing down operations. LiveView Technologies (LVT)’s mobile security units offer a practical, weather-resilient answer to those challenges. These units combine high-quality cameras, lighting, audio deterrence, and AI analysis in a single mobile platform that can be placed almost anywhere.

Through DK Security’s partnership with LVT, clients gain access to equipment that works in places where traditional cameras or fixed systems fall short. Solar panels and cellular service keep the units running without outside power, and the height of the mast creates a clear, elevated view of the property. DK pairs this technology with local support and real-time alert management from our DK Command Center so you aren’t left monitoring footage on your own.

This guide walks through how LVT units work, where they perform best, and the mounting options available. It also explains how DK helps organizations use technology in a way that supports long-term safety goals. If you’re exploring mobile surveillance for the first time or want a better understanding of the platform behind our technology security services, this is a complete walk-through.

What Is an LVT Mobile Security Unit?

LVT mobile security units are self-contained surveillance platforms built to deliver consistent visibility without requiring a power supply, network access, or permanent installation. Each unit combines:

  • Solar panels for ongoing power
  • Cellular connectivity for data and alerts
  • High-definition cameras with zoom and night vision
  • Sensors that detect movement and trigger notifications
  • Lighting and audio tools that deter unwanted activity

They’re designed for both short-term deployment and long-term coverage, which makes them versatile across industries.

Mounting Options and Configurations

LVT’s standard trailer-mounted Live Unit covers most properties. It has a footprint of roughly eight feet wide and eight feet deep, with a mast that extends more than 22 feet high. Solar power and cellular connectivity allow the unit to operate independently of site infrastructure.

For areas that need a more discreet or fixed setup, LVT also offers a wall or pole-mounted configuration. This version connects to 220V (AC) power and is secured to existing structures. It’s useful for locations that prefer a lower-profile presence or already have suitable mounting points.

These mounting options give organizations the flexibility to choose a setup that fits their layout, traffic patterns, and visibility goals.

Core Features of LVT Technology

  • 24/7 live monitoring: High-quality video feeds help property teams see activity as it occurs.
  • AI-based detection: Analytics help distinguish between people, vehicles, and other activity, reducing unnecessary alerts.
  • Motion-triggered response: Lights and speakers activate when movement is detected, which often stops incidents early.
  • Thermal and night vision capabilities: Low-light conditions are no barrier; the unit continues to capture clear visuals.
  • Solar-powered operation: Ideal for remote locations or areas without reliable power access.
  • Cellular connectivity: Keeps the unit online and communicating with the Command Center.
  • Rapid deployment: Units can be fully operational within hours of arrival.

Why Mobile Security Matters

Fixed cameras work well when infrastructure is already in place, but they aren’t always practical in wide-open areas or active job sites.

Mobile security units help bridge that gap by providing:

  • Coverage for temporary or remote locations
  • Rapid deployment for urgent needs
  • A visible deterrent that discourages unwanted activity
  • Flexibility to adjust placement as site conditions change

Because of their adaptability, LVT units are often used to support DK’s uniformed officers. The two approaches complement each other: technology identifies the issue, and trained personnel manage the response.

Use Cases for LVT Mobile Units

Construction

Monitor materials, entry points, and equipment, especially during off-hours.

Retail

Discourage vandalism and after-hours activity in parking lots and loading areas.

Education

Extend visibility across large or open sections of campus.

Energy and Utilities

Protect critical infrastructure in remote or unmanned areas.

Manufacturing

Reduce loss, support safety, and maintain oversight across loading docks and storage areas.

Events

Create reliable coverage for multi-day festivals, concerts, or sporting events.

Integrating LVT with DK Security

When you deploy an LVT unit through DK Security, you gain more than equipment. DK integrates each camera with local operations and our 24/7 Command Center. When an alert triggers, a trained operator verifies the activity and coordinates the next step. That may include reaching on-site personnel, dispatching DK officers, or contacting law enforcement.

This structure removes the burden of constant monitoring and gives organizations a streamlined path from detection to response.

The Advantages of Partnering with DK

  • Regional deployment and service
  • Real-time alert review and escalation
  • Two mounting configurations for different property types
  • A clear, elevated view that reaches far across open areas
  • Support that ties technology to an organized response plan

DK’s approach brings people and technology together in a way that protects property without adding unnecessary complexity.
