Virtual Alarm Monitoring and Security Alerts FAQs

Q: How can I view the security camera feed from the trailers?

Q: Can the mobile security 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 the monitoring camera 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, Security Camera Installation, Deployment FAQs

Q: How long does it take to set up a portable security trailer on my job site?


A: The setup process is quick and straightforward. Once the mobile security trailer is delivered, all you need to do is mount the surveillance 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 solar powered secuirty camera 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 (perfect for ongoing construction site security).

Unique Features and Use Cases FAQs

Q: What is the blue light on top of the monitoring camera 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.

A: One of the most unique deployments was at an oil refinery in the Midwest, where we had 15 solar powered security camera 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.
