Installed camera systems and Mobile Surveillance Units each serve different needs. If you have stable, powered areas that need continuous coverage, a security camera installation may be the best long-term choice. If your risk moves or your site is temporary has no power and/or internet, mobile surveillance units are the right surveillance tool. Another thing to consider is Mobile Surveillance Units often have better quality cameras than ones most businesses install on their buildings.
Do mobile surveillance units work without power or internet? Yes. Mobile surveillance units are built for off-grid performance with solar and/or hybrid power. Some models are solar powered only and other models have both solar power and a completely silent generator For Internet, a Mobile Surveillance Unit will stream video and data over cellular networks and can be configured for local recording redundancy.
