As highlighted in parts one and two of this four-part blog series, mobile surveillance trailers provide an added layer of security for end users across many industry sectors. They’re not only delivering increased visual surveillance, helping to reduce crime, and providing operational insights, they are very cost-effective and easily moved from location to location as needed. Here we take a close look at solar-powered mobile surveillance trailers and the many benefits they offer.

Protecting people and property is Priority One. The versatility and sustainability of solar-powered mobile security trailers are an ideal solution for many surveillance needs. Combining solar panels, battery storage, and surveillance equipment to provide a self-sufficient security solution, these trailers offer important advantages such as energy efficiency, mobility, and again, cost-effectiveness. Because they are portable and operate autonomously, they can be installed and relocated in mere minutes, enabling users to quickly bring cameras, lights, audio, and other security devices wherever they are needed.

In terms of energy efficiency, solar-powered mobile surveillance trailers leverage the sun’s power and thereby also reduce the carbon footprint. The solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which is then stored in batteries for continuous operation, even at night or on overcast cloudy days.

End users, especially those with limited budgets, love that fact that there, after their initial investment, there are operational minimal costs as opposed to traditional security systems. Electric bills can be kissed goodbye because the trailers have need for a constant power supply. Maintenance costs are relatively low, spelling more good news to the bottom line.

Solar-powered mobile surveillance trailers offer an unprecedented level of flexibility because they can be quickly deployed and redeployed whenever and wherever needed. They’re proving to be a perfect solution for many different settings and locations. As highlighted in our previous blogs, they are being widely used to benefit law enforcement, construction sites, and college campuses. They’re also an ideal option for many other sectors and locations.

Airports and transit stations are a prime example. Beset by a ton of foot traffic and the constant flow of people coming and going, these transport hubs are hot targets for myriad security threats. Mobile surveillance trailers are lending sorely need supplemental security, striking a very visible pose and keeping eyes on sensitive areas like terminals and parking lots. Their capabilities, including license plate recognition, infrared and thermal recording, pan tilt zoom (PTZ) camera mobility, and integrated communication systems are helping to boost security measures dramatically at these busy hubs. In addition, they store video footage and leverage video analytics which enable security personnel to better track and then evaluate the viability of potential threats.

Warehouses and distribution centers are another ideal location for these surveillance solutions. They are the main arteries pumping life into the supply chain. It’s critically important to mitigate risks to maintain uninterrupted operations and avoid devastating disruptions. Because they house high-value inventory and assets, it’s paramount that they are protected from theft and unauthorized access. Mobile surveillance trailers offer the flexibility, scalability, and additional security safeguards needed to do just that.

Whether deployed in inner cities or remote locations, even those subject to harsh weather conditions, solar-powered mobile surveillance trailers are answering the call to provide enhanced safety and security in a wide array of applications.
