Verkada | MT81-13KWH Cloud-Managed Security Trailer

Verkada MT81-13KWH Cloud-Managed Security Trailer

Solar-powered mobile security trailer with 13.2 kWh battery capacity for extended remote video security, temporary site monitoring, and outdoor deployment.

The Verkada MT81-13KWH Cloud-Managed Security Trailer is a solar-powered mobile surveillance platform designed for locations where permanent infrastructure is unavailable, impractical, or still under development. Built for construction sites, parking lots, industrial yards, events, public spaces, utility sites, and remote perimeters, the MT81-13KWH allows organizations to quickly deploy Verkada cameras, speakers, and gateways without depending on building power or wired network access.

Compared with the 6.6 kWh version, the MT81-13KWH includes double the battery capacity, using two 6.6 kWh lithium-ion battery packs for 13.2 kWh total capacity. Verkada positions this model for deployments with less sun exposure or greater power needs, while the overall trailer platform, mast, mounting, solar system, and cloud-managed functionality remain consistent across the MT81 lineup.

Key Features

• Solar-Powered Mobile Deployment: Includes a 1600W solar power system designed to support remote or temporary deployments without fixed utility power.
• 13.2 kWh Battery Capacity: Uses two 6.6 kWh lithium-ion battery packs, providing additional stored power for sites with lower sun exposure or heavier device loads.
• Supports Verkada Devices: Designed to support up to six Verkada devices, such as cameras and horn speakers, with head unit devices and licenses sold separately.
• 24 ft Telescoping Mast: Provides elevated mounting for cameras and other devices, helping improve visibility across outdoor areas.
• Electric-Powered Winch: Allows the mast to be raised and lowered without manual crank operation.
• Integrated PoE Switching: Includes an 8-port managed PoE switch with PoE runs to the mast head for connected devices.
• Cloud-Managed Monitoring: View trailer location, battery level, solar input, power load, weather details, and live or historical power trends through Verkada Command.
• Flexible Connectivity: Bring the trailer online using a Verkada gateway or supported third-party internet gateway, such as Starlink.
• Rapid Security Coverage: Ideal for temporary sites, high-risk areas, outdoor assets, and locations where trenching, conduit, or permanent infrastructure is not practical.
• Built-In Deterrence Support: Includes a flashing blue LED strobe and mounting support for Verkada cameras, gateway, and horn speaker configurations.

Built for Remote and Temporary Security Coverage

The MT81-13KWH is designed for environments where security coverage is needed quickly, but traditional infrastructure is either missing or too expensive to install. Construction sites, outdoor lots, utility areas, municipal spaces, and event locations often need visibility before permanent power and network cabling are available. The MT81 gives security and operations teams a mobile platform that can be positioned where coverage is needed, then relocated as site conditions change.

More Battery Capacity for Tougher Deployments

The MT81-13KWH is the higher-capacity MT81 model, making it better suited for deployments with greater power needs, heavier device configurations, or less predictable solar conditions. The additional battery capacity provides more reserve power than the 6.6 kWh version, helping organizations support remote deployments where uptime expectations are high and access to charging or service visits may be limited.

Cloud-Managed Through Verkada Command

Once online, the MT81 becomes part of the Verkada Command ecosystem. Teams can remotely view GPS location, battery status, solar input, power load, weather conditions, and live or historical power trends. Command also allows teams to monitor connected device health and remotely power cycle or power off devices, helping reduce unnecessary site visits.

Designed for Verkada Camera and Speaker Deployments

The MT81 is built to serve as a mobile deployment platform for Verkada devices. The mast head includes mounting support for up to six camera arms, plus mounting patterns for a gateway and horn speaker. This makes it suitable for combining video monitoring, license plate recognition, audio deterrence, and remote situational awareness in one mobile package.
