Technical Specifications

Q: What brand of cameras do IT Installs’ trailers use?
A: All our units are equipped with high quality AXIS cameras. There is wide range of cameras available and will be tailored to specific needs.  

Q: How do the trailers handle power requirements?
A: Our trailers are completely solar-powered, eliminating the need for noisy diesel generators. The solar panels continuously charge the battery bank, allowing the trailers to run autonomously—just set it up and forget it.

Q: How do the trailers communicate with the monitoring system?

Monitoring and Alerts

Q: How can I view the camera feed from the trailers?
A: You can view the live feed using our secure app on your smartphone or via a laptop. The app allows you to control the cameras, view multiple trailers on one dashboard, and even review past footage if motion-activated recording is enabled.

Q: Can the trailers send alerts if there is suspicious activity?
A: Yes, we set up geofences around your site, which trigger alerts when a person or vehicle crosses into a defined area. The system sends an email alert with a screenshot and timestamp, allowing you to quickly assess and respond to potential threats.

Q: What if I want to review footage from earlier in the day?
A: If the motion-to-record setting is enabled, you can easily review past footage directly from the video dashboard available anywhere, anytime on the web.

Setup and Deployment

Q: How long does it take to set up a trailer on my job site?
A: The setup process is quick and straightforward. Once the trailer is delivered, all you need to do is mount the camera head, which is shipped inside the battery box. It’s as simple as tightening three bolts and plugging in the Ethernet cable. The trailer is then live and ready to go.

Q: Can the trailers be moved around easily to get different views of the site?
A: Yes, the trailers are designed for flexibility. We often collaborate with customers beforehand to determine optimal placement using Google Earth. The mast extends 20 feet high, and the cameras can be set in patrol mode to cover various angles, ensuring comprehensive site coverage.

Unique Features and Use Cases

Q: What is the blue light on top of the trailer for?
A: The blue light is a visual deterrent, designed to keep unauthorized individuals off your job site. It’s powered by a photocell, runs from dusk to dawn, and serves as a bright, noticeable warning to potential intruders.

Q: What’s the most unique project where IT Installs’ trailers have been used?
A: One of the most unique deployments was at an oil refinery in the Midwest, where we had 15 trailers monitoring various activities, including spill-off ponds and day-to-day operations. The trailers played a crucial role in overseeing both environmental safety and site security.
