Mobile Surveillance Units, Connected by NXTFusion OS™
A mobile surveillance unit puts cameras and sensors where fixed infrastructure can’t reach. NXTFusion OS™ is our AI Operating System for the Physical World and unifies cameras, sensors, vessel and drone tracking across land, sea, and air into one live operational and actionable picture.
NXT’s mobile surveillance units are the field hardware. NXTFusion OS™ connects them, and it works with the cameras you already have. You get one view of your whole site, not a handful of separate feeds.
What is a mobile surveillance unit?
A mobile surveillance unit is a self-contained security unit that you can bring to a site, set up quickly and move again when your needs change. It carries its own cameras, sensors, power and connectivity, so you don’t need to trench cable, mount poles or wait for a permanent install. Parking lots, construction phases, event perimeters, ports, waterfronts and campuses all use them wherever coverage is thin or only needed for a while.
What “mobile” means at NXT. For our placed units, NXTGuard LSA, NXTGuard SafeOps and NXTGuard Mobile, “mobile” means easy to move and redeploy. People move them into place, and then they stay put and watch. They do not drive themselves. Only our unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), the NXTGuard Maverick and Scorpion, patrol on their own.
More than a camera on a pole
Today, a typical mobile surveillance unit is a camera trailer or a light tower with a recorder. It films the area and someone reviews the footage after something happens. That approach is useful, but it leaves the hardest part to people: noticing an event in time, understanding it, and getting the right person there.
NXT’s units are built differently.
• One live picture. Every NXTGuard unit, UGV and existing camera feeds into NXTFusion OS™, so your team watches one operational picture instead of jumping between apps.
• Works with the cameras you already have. NXT SensorHub connects existing CCTV, access control, and NXT and partner sensors, so the cameras you already own become part of the picture.
• Events, not just footage. Units detect, track and record, then alert people. Your team gets a clear event with location and live video, not hours of recordings to scrub through.
• A response, not just an alert. Nexie, your AI operator, assesses each event and recommends a response, and ChatOps brings the right people into the conversation.
• Placed where you need it, moved when you’re done. Use one unit for an event or a construction phase, then grow to a fleet across every site.
The result is faster response, fewer missed events, and more value from the cameras and people you already have.

How it gets there
Best for
People place it, and it stays put.
Our flagship Land-Sea-Air unit. Ground, airspace and, where the site requires it, waterside sensing in one correlated picture. Built for ports, critical infrastructure, stadiums, casinos and data centers.
People place it, and it stays put.
A three-camera unit with three simultaneous views and an optional PTZ camera. Suited to parking operations, event perimeters and construction zones, where safety and security share the same footprint.
People carry it into place, and it stays put.
A compact unit that is easy to carry, move and quickly deploy to cover blind spots in temporary or dark areas. A low-footprint way to add visibility wherever you need it.
It patrols on its own.
An unmanned ground vehicle for persistent outdoor patrol, physical security monitoring and sensor data collection across large lots and perimeters.
It patrols on its own.
An unmanned ground vehicle for persistent outdoor patrol, physical security monitoring and sensor data collection. It adds a moving set of eyes between your placed units.
Placed units and patrolling UGVs work together. LSA, SafeOps and NXTGuard Mobile hold fixed positions where coverage matters most. Maverick and Scorpion patrol the ground in between. NXTFusion OS™ puts all of it in one live picture.
How a response works
Every NXT mobile surveillance unit follows the same response flow. Detection is only the start. The goal is getting the right people to act.
1. NXTGuard detects. A unit or connected camera picks up an event, such as a person in a closed area, a vehicle where it shouldn’t be, or a drone overhead.
2. NXTFusion OS™ identifies the event and alerts the operator. The platform recognizes what happened and where, and flags it right away.
3. Nexie, your AI operator, assesses and recommends a response. Nexie weighs the event against your site’s procedures and suggests the next best step.
4. The console shows the location, live feed and details. Your operator sees exactly where the event is, watches it live, and has the context to decide.
5. ChatOps orchestrates the team. The right supervisors, guards and partners are brought into one conversation, with a timestamped record of who did what.
At NXT, “act” means alerting and orchestrating people. Our units detect, track, record and then alert your team. They never intercept, disable or take down anything.

Frequently asked questions
What is a mobile surveillance unit?
A mobile surveillance unit is a self-contained security unit with its own cameras, sensors, power and connectivity. You can place it quickly where fixed infrastructure can’t reach, then move it when your needs change. NXT’s units connect to NXTFusion OS™, so every unit appears in one live picture.
Do NXTGuard LSA, SafeOps or NXTGuard Mobile drive themselves?
No. People move them into place, and then they stay put. For these units, “mobile” means easy to move and redeploy, not self-driving.
Do the Maverick and Scorpion UGVs drive on their own?
Yes. The NXTGuard Maverick and Scorpion are unmanned ground vehicles that patrol on their own. They are the only NXT units that move by themselves.
Does it work with my existing cameras?
Yes. NXTFusion OS™ works with the cameras you already have. NXT SensorHub connects existing CCTV, access control and partner sensors, so your current cameras and our units appear in one live picture.
How are mobile surveillance units priced?
NXTGuard units are rented by the day or the month, so you pay for coverage when and where you need it, with no permanent install. NXTGuard SafeOps starts at $2,650/month, and NXTGuard LSA starts at $3,950/month. Camera-equipped units pair with the NXTFusion OS™ console, which starts at $400/month, billed annually ($4,800/year). (NXTGuard LightOps, from $1,595/month, is a lighting unit, not a mobile surveillance unit.) Prices are starting prices, in USD, exclude tax, apply to the San Diego metro and are subject to quote. See pricing or request a quote for your sites.
Where are these prices available?
The starting prices shown are for the San Diego metro. For other locations, request a quote.
Can NXT units detect drones?
Yes. NXTGuard LSA detects, tracks and records drone activity, then alerts your people, and the record supports your agencies. NXT units do not intercept, disable or take down drones.
