Many site owners compare a mobile surveillance trailer with hiring a security guard. Both have a place. Here’s how they differ.
What a Camera Trailer Does Well
- Sees the whole area its cameras cover, all night
- Records video and audio you can give to police and insurance
- Visible deterrent with loudspeaker and alarm
- With live monitoring, a remote team warns intruders and calls police
- No site power or internet needed
What a Guard Does Well
- Can physically walk the site and check doors and gates
- Can deal with people in person
- Useful for sites that need someone on-site for access control
Using Both
Trailers and guards work well together. When our live monitoring team sees activity, we can call your on-site guard as well as police, so your guard knows exactly where to go.
Cost Factors to Compare
- How many hours per night and per week you need coverage
- How many areas of the site need to be watched
- Whether you need recorded evidence
- How long the project runs
