4 Benefits of a Mobile Security Surveillance Trailer
Installing and maintaining an effective security surveillance system may seem like a daunting task. While there are several security options to consider, none are quite as easy to implement and offer all the amenities of a mobile security surveillance trailer.
Here are 4 benefits to consider during your search for a dependable security system:
Reliable Surveillance
When assessing the security needs of your site or event, you have the option to hire security guards. Guards may patrol in one area or make their rounds periodically. However, this option has its limitations, as guards can’t be everywhere and see everything at once.
Mobile security surveillance trailers have 30-foot tall poles with cameras mounted to them, providing a bird’s-eye, 360-degree view of the area. The cameras are always on and live-recording while a security specialist monitors remotely. If any suspicious activity is spotted, the specialist will immediately contact local police.
After the incident is resolved by police on site, further investigation may still be necessary. Since all video is recorded, you will have video evidence to aid in closing the case or verifying an insurance claim.
While live security guards may be able to offer eye witness accounts, one thing to consider is the nature of human memory. Oftentimes witnesses of the same event, especially traumatized ones, will report details of the event differently. These individuals aren’t lying, but their emotional state and bias might make them remember things differently.
According to Scientific American, “Many people believe that human memory works like a video recorder: the mind records events and then, on cue, plays back an exact replica of them. On the contrary, psychologists have found that memories are reconstructed rather than played back each time we recall them.”
Psychologist Elizabeth F. Loftus of the University of California, Irvine, confirms this, calling memory “more akin to putting puzzle pieces together than retrieving a video recording.” By using 24/7 video surveillance, you’ll have the proof you need in the event of a crime. 
Cost Savings
Setting up permanent security cameras is not always practical or cost effective. If you are trying to secure a festival or a construction site that will not be a permanent fixture, mobile units are the best route to go. A permanent surveillance system has...(Click Here to Continue Reading)
