LiveView Technologies (LVT) is a video surveillance company based in Orem, Utah. It was founded by Ryan Porter and Bob Brenner in 2005.[1]
The company creates the D3 Mobile Security Unit, a solar-powered surveillance trailer with cameras on a 22-foot pole, a two-way audio system, and blue flashing lights.[2] The trailers are often placed in retail parking lots and paid for by retailers including Advance Auto Parts, Home Depot, Kroger, Lowes, Safeway, Walgreens, and Walmart.[3][4][5][6]
Oroville, California's police department pays $45,000 per year for one LVT trailer.[2] Another source placed the price at $3000 per month.[7] An LVT trailer in a San Francisco Safeway parking lot played classical music at a loud level 24 hours per day for at least a week to deter loitering, per Safeway's corporate response.[8] The 24/7 music has also been used in an LVT at a Home Depot in Denver.[9]
Monroe County, New York has deployed LVT to surveil protests in Rochester, including Israel–Hamas war protests.[10]
LVT has been the main jersey sponsor of NBA's Utah Jazz since 2023, in a deal organized by Klutch Sports Group.[11][12][13]
LVT has installed solar-powered cameras for the State of Utah along the state's creeks and rivers to detect flooding.[14]
The company announced its $50 million Series B round in June 2022. Sorenson Capital, Pelion Ventures, The Larry H. Miller Group, and Lead Edge Capital are funders.[1][15]
