The light tower you set with a forklift.
21,000 lumens of solar LED lighting on a 21-foot mast, with an optional AI camera unit. No trailer to tow, no fuel to deliver, no site power. Rent it by the day, week, month, or on a lease. Cameras are available with the lights or without them, and the quote and site assessment are free.

Built for sites without infrastructure
- Lighting. Two LED heads at 10,500 lumens each — 21,000 lumens per tower. Dusk to dawn on a light sensor.
- Smart output. Holds 50% until motion is detected, then steps to 100%.
- Mast. 21 feet fully extended, under 10 feet collapsed.
- Power. Solar with about three nights of battery reserve through cloudy weather. Shore-power line built in for winter where power is available.
- Set, not towed. Placed by forklift, skid steer, or telehandler. Trailer base available.
- Camera-ready. Every pod has the camera mount. Add the camera unit on day one or later.
The camera unit
Two fixed cameras come standard on the Light + Camera pod. Add one or two pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras when you want the system to follow and zoom in on a subject; the fixed cameras detect and hand off to a PTZ when one is installed. Footage is stored in the cloud; the unit runs on dual cellular networks or hard-wired data and carries its own battery with about three days of reserve. The AI back end indexes everything the cameras see — search by time, vehicle, or a description as specific as the color of someone’s shoes — and you get direct access to it. After-hours person and vehicle detection sends automated notification to the responder you designate. Optional AI voice-down addresses an intruder from the tower.
Pricing
Published starting rates, because you shouldn’t have to wonder. We have many options, and every site is a little different — the quote and site assessment are free, with no commitment.
Light only
Solar light tower. Two LED heads, 21-foot mast, shore-power line, camera mount. No camera needed, no camera charge.
Includes service and support. Longer terms lower the monthly rate.
Light + Camera
Everything in Light only, plus the camera unit: two fixed cameras and the AI back end. PTZ cameras are an optional add-on.
Includes cellular, cloud storage, AI back-end access, service and support. These are starting rates: simpler camera setups, such as a single camera head or a lower-end unit, are priced lower.
Need cameras but not the lights?
You can have cameras without the lights. We offer Sentinel camera systems on their own, on a pole or wall mount, with no pod needed. Mix them with pods on the same site. A camera-only rental costs significantly less than a Light + Camera pod. Tell us what you need to see and we will build the right setup.

Build your pod rental

Estimate excludes delivery, pod setup, and camera setup, which are quoted per job. On leases, delivery and pod setup are discounted 25% at 12 months, 50% at 24 months, and free at 36 months or longer. Prices in USD, exclusive of tax.
Request a quote for this setupHow many do I need?
A pod is targeted lighting, not stadium lighting. One tower at full output lights roughly a 100 by 100 foot working area to security level, with the cameras seeing well beyond that. Put a pod at each gate, over high-value material, at the fuel point, and along crew paths, with a unit every 150 to 200 feet of fence line where after-hours access matters. A typical 10-acre laydown yard runs 8 to 12 pods placed that way. Send us the site plan and we will mark it up at no charge.

Straight answers
Do I need to tow anything?
No. A forklift, skid steer, or telehandler sets the pod. No lift equipment on site? We arrange the set or supply a trailer base.
Does the light run all night?
Yes, on a light sensor, holding 50% output until it detects motion. About three nights of battery through cloudy weather, and a shore-power line for winter where power is available.
Can I add the camera later?
Yes. Every pod ships with the camera mount. The camera unit can be added any time without swapping the tower.
What does the customer need for the camera to work?
Nothing. Cellular data, cloud storage, and AI back-end access are included with the camera rental.
Do towers include guards or dispatch?
No. Towers detect and send automated notification to the responder you designate. Patrol can be brokered separately. We are an equipment and operations provider, not a guard company.
Where do you deliver?
Anywhere in the United States and the Caribbean. We are based in Tennessee and deliver nationwide.
