If you’ve ever worried about expensive tools or materials walking off your job site overnight, Amazon just launched a massive solution at CES 2026. The new Ring Mobile Security Trailer is a towable, solar-powered watchman designed to bring commercial-grade surveillance to construction sites and parking lots everywhere.
Moving from the front porch to the job site
Most of us know Ring for the doorbells that catch package thieves, but Amazon is now moving into much bigger territory. The Ring Mobile Security Trailer is their first major step into serious commercial security. Instead of just watching a front door, this trailer is built to watch an entire city block. It’s a rugged, heavy-duty piece of equipment that proves Ring is ready to graduate from the home to the job site.
Smart features that never sleep
This isn’t a camera on a selfie stick—it’s a smart hub that uses AI to tell the difference between a stray cat and a person trying to hop a fence. Here is what makes it stand out:
- AI-Powered monitoring: The trailer uses advanced sensors to send you “Smart Alerts.” It can recognize vehicles, people, and even specific types of movement, so your phone doesn’t buzz every time the wind blows.
- High-res coverage: It comes equipped with multiple 4K cameras that provide a 360-degree view, eliminating blind spots where intruders can hide.
- Always connected: With built-in 5G and satellite backup, the trailer stays online even if the local grid goes down or if you’re working in a remote area without Wi-Fi.
- Solar powered: Large solar panels keep the batteries topped up, so you don’t have to worry about finding a power source on a raw piece of land.
How contractors can use it
For a general contractor, this trailer is like having a security guard that doesn’t need to sleep or take lunch breaks. Because it’s mobile, you can tow it to a new project on Monday and move it to a different corner of the site by Friday. It’s perfect for protecting high-value equipment like excavators, or for monitoring deliveries when you aren’t on-site. Plus, the built-in sirens and floodlights can be set to trigger automatically, scaring off intruders before they even touch your gear.
