Solar Light
& Camera Towers
Light and eyes on your site where there’s no fixed infrastructure. Beacon Mast pods are solar light towers with an optional AI camera unit, set in place by your forklift or telehandler — no trailer to tow, no fuel to deliver, no site power required.
Watch the site, deter the problem
On-Site Security Solutions deploys Beacon Mast solar light and camera towers for construction sites, laydown yards, events, parking areas, and remote or temporary locations nationwide. When you need a site lit and watched before utilities exist, a pod set on the ground delivers both without the cost and delay of a permanent install or the fuel run of a diesel light tower.
Every pod is a light tower first. Add the camera unit for after-hours detection, or add it later — the mount is on every pod. Our original trailer-mounted camera towers remain available for sites without lift equipment and for existing customers. Beacon Mast pods rent by the day, week, or month, or on a lease. Need cameras without the lights? Camera-only options are available too, as standalone Sentinel camera systems on a pole or wall mount. Your quote and site assessment are free, with no commitment.

Light and eyes. No fuel, no tow.
Set by the equipment already on your site. Relocated in minutes as the work moves.
Set, Not Towed
A forklift, skid steer, or telehandler puts the pod exactly where you need it. Mast extends to 21 feet, collapses under 10 for transport. Trailer base available when a tow is the right answer.
Solar With Reserve
Dusk-to-dawn on a light sensor. Holds 50% output until motion, then 100%. About three nights of reserve through cloudy weather, plus a shore-power connection for winter where power is available.
Light Plus Camera
Two fixed cameras come standard, with one or two pan-tilt-zoom cameras available as an add-on to track the subject. Dual-network cellular or hard-wired data, cloud storage, and a searchable AI back end your project team can access directly.
The pod, by the numbers
Lighting
Two LED heads at 10,500 lumens each — 21,000 lumens per tower on a 21-foot mast. Runs dusk to dawn on a light sensor.
Smart output
50% output until motion is detected, then full. The light stepping up is the first alert.
Power reserve
About three nights on battery through cloudy weather. Shore-power line built in for winter months where power is available.
Camera unit
Two fixed cameras standard; PTZ with subject tracking available as an add-on. Own battery with about three days of reserve. Cellular on dual networks, or hard-wired data.
AI search
Footage stored in the cloud and indexed. Search by time, vehicle, or a description as specific as the color of someone’s shoes. Your team gets back-end access.
Detection & response
After-hours person and vehicle detection sends automated notification to the responder you designate. Optional AI voice-down addresses the intruder from the tower.
Weather alerting
Optional mast-mounted strobe and siren with text notifications to your crew list, so the severe-weather plan is a horn on the ground, not a group text.
Live video API
Optional public live feed for owners who want a construction camera on their project page — from the same tower that watches the yard at night.
How 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 the site plan and we will mark it up.
Pods and towers deployed on the ground
Eyes where you need them
Construction & laydown yards
Copper, switchgear, and generators sit in yards for months before permanent security exists. Light the yard and watch the pile from the same pod.
Events & parking
Lots, ingress points, and overnight vendor compounds. Light for the crowd, eyes on the equipment after the crowd leaves.
Remote & temporary sites
Workforce camps, staging areas, right-of-way. Runs where there is no power, no network drop, and no one on shift.
Equipment & asset protection
Fleet yards, material storage, rental equipment. A lit, watched yard is the one thieves skip.
Straight answers
Do I need to tow anything?
No. A Beacon Mast pod is set by a forklift, skid steer, or telehandler. If your site has no lift equipment, we arrange the set or supply a trailer base.
Does the light run all night?
Yes, on a light sensor. The tower holds 50% output until it detects motion, then goes to full. The battery carries about three nights through cloudy weather, and a shore-power line is built in for winter where power is available.
Can I get light without the camera?
Yes. Light-only is the base pod. Every pod has the camera mount, so the camera unit can be added later without swapping the tower.
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.
Are your trailer camera towers still available?
Yes. Trailer-mounted towers remain in service for sites without lift equipment, event and parking deployments, and existing customers, with the same detection and notification model.
Where do you deploy?
Anywhere in the United States and the Caribbean. We are based in Tennessee and deliver nationwide.
