Struggling with your security? Whether it’s a construction jobsite or traffic and highways project, Solar Surveillance Trailers provide a wealth of security benefits. Discover more here.

Security risks and criminal tactics are ever-developing and this only increases the dangers your business faces. 

Without effective security, your business could fall victim to financial consequences, legal repercussions, damaged reputation, and a loss of clientele. 

But in the world of security, the number of companies claiming to provide best-in-class crime prevention is endless, so how can you guarantee your business receives the protection it deserves?

Solar Surveillance Trailers have grown in popularity over recent years and being the USA’s market-leading supplier in them, we explore their benefits in more detail and how they can support you.

What is a Solar Surveillance Trailer?

A Solar Surveillance Trailer combines security camera technology and solar panels mounted to a moveable trailer base.

The units will be equipped with solar panels that power internal batteries, one or more security cameras fixed to the top of a raised mast, and a range of additional security devices such as voice-down units, sirens, alarms, and flashing lights.

This combination of features allows Mobile Solar Surveillance Trailers to be quickly deployed to any location that requires temporary or targeted security coverage but lacks the power and/or internet facilities to support fixed security cameras.

What Are The Benefits of Solar Surveillance Trailers?

Being a market-leader in Surveillance Trailers ourselves, we have supported various businesses across multiple industries and have gained first-hand insight on the incredible range of unique benefits they offer. 

Typical deployment scenarios for Solar Surveillance Trailers include construction jobsite security, parking lot protection, Oil and Gas Field security, and multiple Law Enforcement crime prevention and investigation applications.

Below, we outline the 8 key benefits of Solar Surveillance Trailers:

Rapid Deployment For Immediate Coverage

The installation process for a fixed security camera network is labor-intensive and expensive, but deploying a Solar Surveillance Trailer couldn't be easier.

By utilizing a Trailer, there's no need to run power or network cabling to the cameras, allowing Law Enforcement agencies to target crime hotspots quickly, and construction companies to get immediate security for their jobsites.

With our Solar Surveillance Trailer is a self-contained, 'security ready' system that can be live in a matter of under 30-minutes using just one engineer, making it one of the most convenient and rapid response methods to tackle security and surveillance requirements. 

The video below shows the installation process for our Solar Surveillance Trailer - they truly do make security simple.

Fully-Autonomous Security 

Some manufacturers’ Solar Surveillance Trailers including ourselves deliver complete autonomy on every level. 

It is entirely self-powered, with high-performance solar panels supporting an ultra long-run battery system. This makes the system ideal for off-grid locations or any site without power facilities. 

In a typical deployment with sufficient sunlight, our Solar Surveillance Trailer can run continuously and independently year-round.

We also ensure that our Solar Surveillance Trailer is autonomous in video delivery, too. There is no need to have onsite Wi-Fi or network cables, and you can access the cameras from any send the images straight to our video monitoring partners. 

This complete power autonomy allows for full flexibility as to where you locate the Trailer, allowing you to cater its coverage to your security’s needs.

Cost-Effective Surveillance Solution

A Solar Trailer can provide cost efficiencies from several perspectives. 

If you're looking to secure a temporary application, such as a construction jobsite or public event, or have a short-term surveillance requirement, such as tackling illegal dumping hotspots or providing community reassurance, installing fixed security cameras isn't economical. 

A Solar Trailer removes the upfront costs of installing cameras and covers the maintenance costs related to them in some cases. Over time, the system will pay for itself as you move it from job to job. 

We offer our Solar Surveillance Trailers on a hire basis for increased flexibility - meaning you only pay for security when needed. 

Hiring one of our Solar Surveillance Trailer to protect your jobsites or parking lots can work out up to 88%* cheaper than utilizing security guards - without compromising quality, reliability, or results.

Environmentally Friendly

With an increasing social focus and consciousness developing around environmental issues, sourcing a security camera with a self-renewing and clean power source is a wise investment for any organization. 

To encourage the adoption of solar power technology, the US government has previously offered incentives and continues to do so (tax credits, rebates, etc.) for installing solar-powered systems.

Our Solar Trailers help to protect your sites and effectively fight crime in an environmental way.

Visual and Audio Criminal Deterrents

Standing at 20-ft tall, a Solar Surveillance Trailer offers a unique visible deterrent to opportunist thieves. The unit's effectiveness as a deterrent is further enhanced by integrating live voice-down audio, flashing blue lights, sirens, and horn speakers.

If the unit fails to deter a criminal, the IR PTZ camera(s) can capture all activity in crystal-clear HD quality and call Law Enforcement if required, supporting any future investigations also. 

Additionally, our Solar Surveillance Trailers are backed by remote monitoring services from a team of security professionals who act as virtual security guards - always awake and always on guard, keeping watch over your property. 

Day-to-Night Security Coverage

Whether it’s day or night, your property, building, or site needs to remain protected, especially when it becomes darker as security risks generally increase.

With most Surveillance Trailers you’ll find that they will be fitted with advanced camera technology that ensure you receive day-to-night coverage. 

For industries such as construction jobsites, educational facilities, and retail stores, there is a high likelihood that at night you have little to no occupants and this leaves you open to various risks, most commonly theft and vandalism.

By using our Trailers, the security cameras attached to the top of the masts provide expanded coverage, near 360 degree view, zoom in capabilities, and can view up to 200 metre in the dark. 

This helps to provide you with peace of mind that your site is receiving the 24/7 coverage it requires and minimises the chance of crime impacting your site.

Remote Access From Any Device, Anywhere

For any manager or owner, there will be occasions where you won’t be present or nearby your site, property, or building, however, it’s still important that you have access to monitor your site. 

Putting your sole trust into a security company to capture every security risk presented to your site can be nerve racking as a business. 

That's why we back our Surveillance Trailer with remote monitoring services which ensure that both a monitoring center of trained security professionals and you can remotely access live and recorded footage on any device, wherever you are. 

This allows you to check-in on your site, monitor safety, and assess the camera coverage provided. 

We understand the importance of staying in the loop with your security and have carefully designed our Trailers that lets you access real-time footage with ease.

Relocatable Design

Due to the Trailer’s base, they are easily relocatable and can be moved in line with your security requirements. 

For example, Law Enforcement may have multiple locations where illegal dumping is popular. In response to this, you can use a Surveillance Trailer as a criminal deterrent and monitoring system which can be moved across different areas depending on the presented risks.

And you may be asking if engineers need to be involved in this. Well, regarding our Surveillance Trailers, the answer is no. You simply transition them between the different locations yourself.

This makes them the most convenient, efficient security solutions for Public Safety departments and Law Enforcement applications.
