With each passing year, commercial properties face greater and more sophisticated physical security threats. While advancements in stationary surveillance systems and more vigorous training of on-site guards have helped meet today’s challenges, many businesses require a more flexible, adaptable and cost-effective solution.
Mobile surveillance towers, also known as Virtual Security Guards, have recently emerged as a versatile tool in the security landscape, offering a unique blend of agility, integration capabilities, and technological advancements.
Is it right for your specific security needs? Let’s find out!
What exactly is a mobile surveillance tower?
A mobile surveillance tower is a portable security system, usually mounted on vehicles or attached to poles and other structures, and equipped with cameras, sensors and communication devices.
Like a fixed system, it provides real-time video monitoring and data collection, with the added benefit of mobility. This allows you to relocate from place to place as your security needs change.
It is quickly becoming the go-to solution at construction sites, auto-dealerships, outdoor storage facilities, oil and gas utility sites, remote locations without power, and more.
What are the benefits of a mobile surveillance tower?
Beyond providing a flexible, efficient, and responsive solution, mobile surveillance towers offer a host of benefits.
- They can be rapidly deployed: MSTs can be set up quickly, often installed within one or two days.
- They are energy efficient: Solar-powered options reduce energy costs and environmental impact. They also eliminate the need for an outside power source or cabling.
- They are a cost-saver: MSTs offer a budget-friendly alternative to permanent installations, offering significant cost savings without compromising effectiveness.
- They produce faster response rates: Most MSTs, such as Titan’s Virtual Guard, feature cellular-based monitoring (no internet necessary), leading to more reliable monitoring station efficiency.
- They provide increased visibility: Simply having an MST on your site acts as a deterrent to potential criminal or intruders, who will know their presence is being monitored.
