In today's challenging landscape for commercial property owners, ensuring robust security is paramount. With crime rates on the rise , a mobile surveillance system offers a dynamic and effective solution to protect your property against break-ins, vandalism, and other threats.
The challenges of being a commercial property owner are ongoing, from finding and retaining tenants to tracking demographic and economic shifts to staying on top of legal and regulatory complexities.
Benefits of Mobile Surveillance Systems for Commercial Property
Given the many responsibilities an owner faces, it’s easy to see how developing a proper security plan can take a back seat. Unfortunately, crime rates on commercial properties have been steadily climbing—up 7.1% over the last five years according to a recent FBI crime report — with 6.4 million incidents in 2023 alone.
It’s vital to have a solid commercial property security strategy in place to prevent break-ins, vandalism, and potential violent acts, but finding the right solution can be challenging. Fixed systems can take a while to deploy and install.
DIY surveillance systems are unreliable and place the onus on managers to monitor all activity. And hiring on-site security can get very expensive very quickly. One option that has gained traction in recent years is mobile surveillance, a quickly deploy-able solution that offers professional live, remote security monitoring at an affordable rate.
Advantages of Portable Mobile Surveillance Systems
Mobile surveillance systems, such as Titan’s Virtual Security Guards, are portable, solar-powered camera-mounted units, equipped with sensors and communication devices. Like a fixed system, they provide real-time video monitoring, but with the added benefit of mobility. They are ideal for commercial properties that have large parking lots, are in remote locations without power, or are looking for permanent or temporary surveillance solutions.
Five Key Reasons to Invest in Mobile Surveillance Systems.
Professionally monitored mobile security cameras provide a host of benefits, including:
1. Rapid Deployment and Simple Set Up
Mobile security towers can be quickly deployed, often within a couple of days, and are simple to install…and equally simple to move anywhere on your property, based on your security needs.
2. A Major Upgrade From Off-the-Shelf Security Systems
Unlike DIY cameras, which record crimes but don’t prevent them, mobile surveillance systems are monitored by trained video analysts, who can assess and react to threats in real-time, catching trespassers before damage occurs and, when necessary, alerting authorities.
3. Overnight, “Always-on” Surveillance
Most crimes happen after business hours, in the cover of night, and that’s no exception when it comes to commercial properties. At Titan, our monitored mobile security systems feature the latest thermal and infrared cameras plus advanced, AI-enabled software to identify suspicious activity, even on the darkest of nights.

4. A Deterrent for Criminals
Simply having live-monitored security towers on your property is enough to make bad actors think twice before trespassing. But if that isn’t enough to stop them, a mobile surveillance system also come with security deterrence technology, including alarms, flashing lights, and talk down speakers to let intruders know that they have been spotted.
5. Reduced Security Spends
There are several ways to save with mobile security units. For one, there are reduced installation costs compared to permanent systems, which require extensive cabling and wiring. They also cost thousands of dollars less each month than on-site security officers…especially if round-the-clock surveillance is required. Add to that, there are the ancillary savings that go with real-time video monitoring, such as reduced insurance premiums and greater liability protection.
