What Are Mobile Solar Surveillance Trailers?

If you've recently walked by a construction jobsite, a Walmart parking lot, or a vacant property, there's a good chance you've seen a solar-monitored trailer and wondered what it is, what it does, and how it works.

Solar surveillance trailer is a type of video surveillance device specifically designed for rapid deployment in locations that require temporary security coverage but lack power and/or Internet facilities to support traditional security camera installations.

They are equipped with solar panels that power internal batteries, security cameras mounted on top of tall masts that provide users with extensive views of the property or worksite, and a range of additional safety equipment such as audio noise reduction devices, alarms, sirens and flashing lights.

The mobile solar monitoring trailer offers flexibility, autonomy, cost-effectiveness and an environmentally conscious approach to safety, making it a best-in-class product in modern surveillance technology.

How is a Surveillance Trailer Different from a Security Guard?

Security guard a common solution for the security of parking lots, construction sites, critical infrastructure and vacant properties. They are still widely used, but the days when security was the only option are long gone. .

So why are Surveillance Trailers starting to replace security guards? Well, there are several benefits of using surveillance trailers instead of security guards, which include:

Cost-effectiveness: There is always a premium to hiring a security guard, and as labor shortages drive wages up, those costs will only spiral to prohibitively high levels.

The cost of renting a surveillance trailer is significantly lower than the cost of a security guard; In most cases, deploying a surveillance trailer is 88% cheaper than hiring a security guard.

Reliability: The solar surveillance trailer won't be late for work, take a sick day, fall asleep on duty, or look the other way. Surveillance trailers, as we say here at WCCTV, are always awake and alert.

Effectiveness: A surveillance trailer can do things that a security guard can't. First, it can see in the dark. Bad guys tend to break into properties and worksites between 10pm and 2am, but the night vision capabilities of modern security cameras make it impossible for them to operate undetected.

Second, security guards can only be in one place at a time. Depending on the size of the site you want to protect, this may leave several blind spots that guards can't cover. Want to eliminate these blind spots? You're gonna have to spend thousands of dollars more to hire more guards. Or, you can buy a solar-powered trailer.

Initiative: A key reason why people stick with traditional security solutions is the belief that security guards can intervene and stop crimes from occurring, but a solar-monitored trailer supported by remote video surveillance can do exactly the same thing. Once an intruder is spotted, a remote camera operator can issue a real-time audio warning and dispatch local police to stop the crime in progress.

Documentation: In addition to live video footage, the solar monitoring trailer also stores footage of all the events that took place at your location. So, if you need to send documentary evidence to law enforcement or an insurance company, you have a complete dossier of undisputed evidence, not potentially unreliable witness testimony from a security guard.

Your security depends on a solution that never calls in sick, never takes a break, never steals, deters crime, provides a real-time response, and records all incidents at a reasonable cost.

Surveillance trailers offer all that and more, which is why demand for these systems is skyrocketing - the trailer market is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2024.

What Industries Use Solar Surveillance Trailers?

we have referenced a few industry sectors that typically use solar surveillance trailers for their security needs, but their use is growing exponentially across a whole range of businesses, including:

• Police and Law Enforcement 
• State, Municipal, and local government
• Property management companies
• Big box retail parking lots and strip malls
• Surface lots
• Critical infrastructure
• Public works projects
• Construction jobsites

How Do Solar Surveillance Trailers Work?

The Solar surveillance trailer combines video surveillance cameras and remote connectivity technology in a portable unit powered entirely by solar energy.

Video provided by cameras on surveillance trailers can often be accessed remotely via a cellular connection, meaning users can view live or archived video directly from their phones or laptops. Alternatively, video streams can be sent to remote video monitoring stations where security professionals monitor cameras around the clock.

The trailer can also be equipped with a range of customization options to enhance its safety capabilities. These devices include speakers, alarms, lights, or specialized cameras, such as thermal imaging cameras.

Other camera technologies that can be added include time-lapse cameras, which are commonly used on construction projects to record progress and key milestones.

The trailers will have a unique retractable mast with camera equipment located on top, making them a highly visible security system for your location.
