Portable Surveillance Built Around Your Mission
From a single rapidly deployed camera to a four-camera system or PTZ solution, every BlueBox is configured around the location, power source, communications network, and video platform your agency already uses.
One Platform. Multiple Configurations.
BlueBox portable surveillance systems are designed for locations where traditional camera installations are too slow, too expensive, or simply not practical.
Each system is built around the needs of the deployment. Technology One can provide the cameras, communications, recording platform, power system, mounting hardware, and ongoing support—or integrate the BlueBox directly into the customer's existing video management system.
BlueBox systems can be temporarily deployed, relocated as needs change, or installed for long-term monitoring.
BlueBox Configurations
A compact portable system for focused monitoring of entrances, alleys, intersections, dumping sites, remote facilities, and other targeted locations.
Provides coverage in two directions from one mounting location. Ideal for roads, parking lots, intersections, parks, and public facilities.
Designed for wider coverage of downtown areas, construction zones, public spaces, and locations with multiple approaches.
Provides broad multi-directional surveillance from a single deployment point. Ideal for intersections, high-traffic areas, critical infrastructure, and larger public spaces.
A portable pan-tilt-zoom system for agencies that need long-range viewing, remote repositioning, and operator-controlled surveillance.
Camera quantity, camera type, lens selection, mounting method, communications, power, recording, and software integration are customized for every project.
Use Our Platform—or Keep Yours
Technology One can deliver BlueBox as a complete turnkey surveillance system using Alarm.com or OpenEye, or configure it to work with the video management platform your organization already operates.
Your agency should not have to replace its existing video platform just to deploy portable cameras.
Final compatibility is confirmed during system design based on selected cameras, network design, software licensing, and customer system requirements.
Power Options for Temporary and Remote Deployments
AC Power
For sites with available utility power or temporary electrical service.
Solar Power
Custom solar and battery configurations for remote areas and extended deployments.
Battery-Supported Systems
Battery backup can help maintain operation during outages or temporary interruptions.
Custom Power Design
Technology One evaluates camera load, cellular equipment, recording requirements, sunlight availability, installation location, and expected runtime before recommending a power system.
Note: Solar performance varies by location, season, weather, system load, panel placement, and battery capacity. Every solar deployment should be properly sized for its intended use.
Connected Wherever the Assignment Takes You
BlueBox systems can be configured for locations with no existing wired network. Technology One works with the customer to determine the most reliable communications method for the site and the selected video platform.
- Cellular connectivity via onboard cellular routers
- AT&T FirstNet SIM cards — often free for qualifying first responder organizations
- AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon SIM cards available through Technology One
- Customer-provided network connections
- Long-range wireless network links
- Static IP and private APN configurations when required
- Remote access and system health monitoring options
BlueBox systems include onboard cellular routers that support AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon SIM cards. FirstNet-capable configurations are available for qualifying first responder organizations — AT&T FirstNet SIM cards are often available at no cost to eligible agencies. SIM cards for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are also available through Technology One for a monthly service fee.
Designed for Rapid Deployment and Relocation
BlueBox systems are designed to reduce installation time and allow agencies to move surveillance coverage as conditions change. Mounting hardware is selected according to the structure, camera configuration, wind exposure, power system, and deployment duration.
SEE SOMETHING? LIGHT IT UP.
Remote Spotlight
Instantly illuminate the area around your BlueBox from anywhere. The integrated LED spotlight can be remotely switched on and off through the BlueBox control system, giving officers and operators light when they need it—without a trip to the site.
On-Demand Illumination
Switch the spotlight on or off instantly from the BlueBox control system—no site visit, no delay.
See and React
Operators who spot activity on camera can immediately light up the scene to improve visibility and deter behavior.
Integrated Capability
The spotlight is a built-in BlueBox feature, not an afterthought—designed to work alongside your cameras and communications.

How the Process Works
Tell Us What You Need to Monitor
Provide the location, purpose, coverage area, and expected deployment period.
We Review the Site Requirements
Technology One evaluates camera coverage, power, communications, mounting, recording, and platform compatibility.
We Design the BlueBox
The system is configured around the customer's operational and technical requirements.
Deployment and Support
Technology One assists with configuration, installation planning, training, connectivity, and ongoing support.
BlueMap™ Deployment Intelligence
Every BlueBox Starts With a Plan
Example BlueMap™ deployment showing camera placement, viewing direction, coverage area, and site analysis.
Every BlueBox deployment begins long before the camera is mounted. Technology One uses BlueMap™ to evaluate the proposed installation, determine the best camera location, document the deployment, and create a permanent record that can be referenced throughout the life of the system.
Whether deploying a single camera, a four-camera BlueBox, or a PTZ system, BlueMap™ helps ensure each installation is designed around the customer's mission—not guesswork.
Deployment Planning
Determine the best mounting location before installation begins.
Coverage Analysis
Visualize viewing direction, field of view, and expected coverage area.
Camera Selection
Determine whether a fixed camera, multiple cameras, or a PTZ system is the best fit for the assignment.
Documentation
Create a permanent deployment record for future maintenance and support.
Relocation Planning
When surveillance priorities change, BlueMap™ helps plan the next deployment before equipment is moved.
Asset Management
Maintain accurate deployment history for every BlueBox in the field.
Why Planning Matters
Better Coverage
Proper planning helps maximize useful camera coverage while reducing blind spots.
Faster Installation
Installers arrive with a deployment plan instead of determining placement on site.
Easier Relocations
When priorities change, BlueMap™ provides a documented starting point for the next deployment.
Professional Documentation
Every deployment becomes part of an organized record that supports maintenance, upgrades, and future expansion.
The BlueMap™ Process
Site Review
Review the location, objectives, and available infrastructure.
Deployment Planning
Determine the best camera location, viewing direction, and equipment configuration.
BlueBox Installation
Install the equipment using the approved deployment plan.
Deployment Documentation
Record the final installation with photographs, GPS location, and deployment details.
Future Relocation
When surveillance needs change, BlueMap™ helps plan and document the next deployment.
Every Deployment Creates a Record
Each deployment record helps simplify maintenance, future relocations, equipment tracking, and long-term program management.
BlueMap™ Deployment Record
Sample deployment documentation
Included With Every Initial BlueBox Deployment
Every new BlueBox includes a BlueMap™ deployment plan and installation documentation.
As surveillance priorities evolve, BlueMap™ can also support future relocation planning and deployment updates through Technology One's ongoing support services.
