Commercial security cameras and mobile surveillance for Santa Monica
Beachfront lots, retail corridors and multi-family buildings on the Westside take the brunt of break-ins, tagging and after-hours loitering. Live CCTV works two ways here — permanent 4K camera systems designed, installed and configured by our crew, and solar-powered surveillance trailers that can sit on a lot for a season and move on. One company for both, a short drive up from Santa Ana.
Most security companies rent trailers or install cameras. We do both, so what we recommend depends on your property and your timeline rather than what we happen to carry.
Commercial & multi-family installation
For retail, offices, production space and apartment and HOA communities that need permanent coverage. We plan the camera layout around your real entry points and blind spots, install and configure everything, and hand you one app.
Mobile surveillance trailer rentals
For parking lots, construction sites, productions and events that need coverage now and won't need it forever. Towable, solar-powered and self-contained — no permits, no trenching, no wiring.

Why Westside property owners call us first
We actually pick up the phone
You reach our team in Santa Ana, not a national call center routing a ticket. When you have a problem, the person who answers knows your account and your property.
We're not a trailer-only vendor or a camera-only installer
Because we do both, we tell you honestly whether your situation calls for a permanent system, a temporary trailer, or a mix. No square peg forced into a round hole to fit what we happen to sell.
We've been doing this a long time
Live CCTV has been protecting commercial property since 2005, with roots in security going back to 1992. This isn't a side business or a franchise — it's what we do.
Santa Monica questions, answered
Are mobile surveillance trailers allowed in Santa Monica?
Units are towable, self-powered and placed on private property, so they generally avoid permanent-installation permitting. We review placement with your property manager before deployment.
Does an installed system have monthly fees?
No. You pay for the installation and own the system outright — live view, playback and app access keep working with no recurring charge.
Can a trailer help with vehicle break-ins?
Yes. Smart human and vehicle detection triggers live audio talkdown and records 4K evidence — a proven deterrent for after-hours loitering and theft on Westside lots.
