What it is
Service Robot Co. is one partner for the whole security stack: cameras and video doorbells, AI-detection camera systems, access control, alarms and sensors, thermal imaging, solar mobile surveillance units and trailers, and security drones. We pick the hardware, install it, wire it into one view, and service it across all 50 US states.
Security used to mean guards or a camera quote. Now it is a stack: doorbells and cameras at every entrance, AI detection that flags people and plates instead of recording quietly, solar mobile units for sites with no power, and drones for large perimeters. Every alert still lands with a human. The hardware just never blinks.
We are the integrator, not another box seller. We walk your site, pick the right mix, install it, connect it to one view, train your team, and service it nationwide. One partner, one invoice, no finger-pointing between vendors.
What we carry
The umbrella, category by category.
A growing line of category-leading security hardware - each one selected for the site, then deployed, integrated, and serviced by us.
Cameras & video doorbells
Business-grade cameras and doorbells for entrances, lobbies, and yards, wired into one view.
AI camera systems
Enterprise cameras with on-device detection: people, vehicles, plates. Alerts, not just footage.
Access control & intercoms
Door readers, keypads, smart locks, and intercoms, so who gets in is a policy, not a key.
Alarms & sensors
Intrusion, glass-break, panic, smoke, and flood sensing, wired into the same alerts as the cameras.
Thermal imaging
Thermal cameras that see heat, not light, for perimeters and dark yards where regular cameras go blind.
Mobile surveillance units
Solar, cellular units and trailers for lots and sites with no power. Watching the same day they arrive.
Security drones
Docked drones that fly perimeter checks and respond to alerts on large sites, on a schedule or on demand.
One stack. One view. One partner.
Tell us the site and we will tell you the mix, honestly, including the parts you do not need.

Featured
The security trailer.
A mast-mounted camera unit that tows to the site, sets up in an afternoon, and watches the lot around the clock. No wiring, no construction, moved whenever the site moves.

Six steps. One partner.
The same process behind every deployment we run, from the first site walk to the service call years later.

Wherever something valuable sits in the open.
The same stack covers a trailer row, a dark lot, a data-center perimeter, and a lobby door. Pick your site.
Field notes
Most operators price security as an expense line. The better frame is the cost of NOT having coverage - a single incident routinely erases months of budget, and the market is scaling fast to close that gap.
$10k+
Average cost of a break-in across theft, vandalism, and property damage at commercial sites. High-value construction sites and equipment lots routinely see $50k–$200k+ losses in a single incident.
Industry data
12 min
Average law-enforcement response time to a property-crime call in the US runs 11–14 minutes. A mobile camera trailer with live deterrents - strobes, loudspeaker - intervenes in seconds, before the loss happens.
FBI crime data
$60k+
Annual cost of one overnight security guard, fully loaded with wages and benefits. Our security trailers rent from $695 a month, published pricing, and cover more ground than one pair of eyes.

/ options compared
The stack, side by side
Seven tools and one baseline. What each covers, what it needs, and where it fits.
| Tool | What it covers | Setup | Power & internet | When something happens | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cameras & video doorbells | Entrances, lobbies, yards | Hours per building | Uses the building’s | Alerts to your phone or desk | Every door you already have |
| AI camera systems | Perimeters and interiors, with detection | Days, wired into one view | Uses the building’s | Flags people, vehicles, plates | Sites that need alerts, not footage |
| Access control & intercoms | Doors, gates, and who gets through them | Hours per door | Uses the building’s | Logs every entry, locks on command | Buildings where keys keep walking off |
| Alarms & sensors | Break-ins, glass, smoke, flood, panic | Hours per building | Battery and wired options | Sirens on site, alerts to your team | Layering detection behind the cameras |
| Thermal imaging | Dark perimeters and yards, by heat | Days, mounted on masts or walls | Uses the building’s | Sees what regular cameras miss at night | Perimeters with zero light |
| Mobile units & trailers | Whole lots from a mast | Under 30 minutes, tow in | None needed, solar + cellular | On-unit deterrents, monitoring options | Lots and sites with no infrastructure (from $695/mo, published) |
| Security drones | Large perimeters and roofs, from above | Program-designed per site | Dock charges the aircraft | First eyes on an alert in seconds | Big footprints and hard-to-reach assets |
| One overnight guard (baseline) | One area at a time | Same day, high turnover risk | N/A | Yes, with the highest liability exposure | Sites where the law requires one ($5,000–$8,000/mo, illustrative) |

Who this is NOT for
The stack covers most commercial sites, from a single doorbell to a drone-patrolled perimeter. It is still the wrong answer in a few cases, and we will say so before you sign anything.
Sites whose current system already does the job
If your cameras cover every angle and alerts reach the right people, you do not need new hardware. Sometimes the honest answer is an AI-detection upgrade on what you own, and sometimes it is nothing at all.
Sites where the law requires a licensed guard
Where regulation or a contract requires a physical, licensed security presence, cameras, drones, and robots supplement the guard. They do not replace the requirement. We can refer a licensed monitoring partner.
Buyers who want a box, not a working system
If you only want hardware shipped to your dock, a distributor is cheaper. Our value is picking the mix, installing it, wiring it into one view, and servicing it. That is what you are paying for.
