Security View is a security trailer manufacturer based in Billings, MT. With roots in the oil and gas industry on the harsh plains of Eastern Montana, founders Torin Martin and Jade Evenson set out to build a camera trailer that stood apart—one that maintained 100% uptime and remote accessibility in some of North America's most challenging environments.
Their industrial client base spanned from the deserts of the Southwest to the high plains of the Dakotas. Security trailers relying solely on deployable solar panels, now common in urban parking lots, wouldn't be able to meet these demands. That's why owner Torin Martin partnered with our team at Intelligent Controls to design a robust power systems from the ground up, featuring an onboard generator to supplement solar production. A hybrid approach that would ensure on-site security footage kept rolling through winter storms and gale-force winds.
Security View's journey with Victron components began with a summer 2024 phone call to Intelligent Controls about Victron inverter/chargers. The legendary Victron reliability, combined with VRM's remote monitoring capabilities, proved ideal for Security View's design goals. Custom programming from Intelligent Controls enabled Security View to deploy a complete Victron system built around the Cerbo GX. The system not only powers cameras and network equipment but also controls lights, generator autostart, and other critical functions.
As often happens when innovative people gain access to great technology, this dedicated power system and Security View's partnership with Intelligent Controls sparked new possibilities. Many remote construction and power generation sites serviced by Security View struggled with traditional diesel job site generators. Variable daily loads, influenced by seasonal job site activity, meant these industrial-scale generators ran at a fraction of their designed capacity for weeks or months while standing by for occasional peak demands. Compared to their own hybrid security trailers, these job site generators operated inefficiently, presenting an opportunity to test a Victron power system's full capabilities.
The Big BESSie: an Efficient, Reliable, and Scalable Hybrid Generator
In partnership with Victron Energy, the newly christened Security View Power Solutions created the Big BESSie MicroGrid-Ready Hybrid Generator. This integrated system combined Intelligent Controls' power designs with Victron's newly unveiled MicroGrid functionality to create an efficient, reliable, and infinitely scalable replacement for the legacy generators that power construction sites nationwide. Big BESSie debuted in January at PowerGen 2026 in San Antonio. Check out the specs and video walkthrough below, and watch for her at upcoming trade shows.
