Overview

Verticomm delivers comprehensive mobile security solutions through our solar-powered surveillance trailers, engineered specifically for situations where traditional fixed security installations are impractical or impossible. These autonomous platforms combine premium Verkada security cameras with renewable energy systems to provide continuous monitoring without requiring grid power or hardwired connectivity.

The capabilities extend far beyond basic video recording. Security personnel receive real-time alerts for unauthorized intrusions, unusual activity, or specific events. Designated users can access live and recorded footage from anywhere using secure mobile or desktop applications. The system automatically stores footage both locally and in the cloud, creating redundant evidence preservation even in challenging environments.

Whether securing a construction project, monitoring a temporary event, establishing rapid-deployment security for emergency situations, or protecting remote assets, our solar surveillance trailers provide enterprise-quality security without the constraints of fixed infrastructure.

Common FAQs for Solar Surveillance Trailers

How long can the trailers operate without sunlight?

Our standard configurations provide 72-120 hours of continuous operation during periods of minimal solar charging, depending on camera quantity, types, and power requirements. This autonomous duration covers extended cloudy periods, overnight operation, and seasonal variations in sunlight availability. For deployments in locations with limited sun exposure or during winter months, we can customize battery capacity to extend operational autonomy based on site-specific requirements and historical weather patterns.

What connectivity options are available for remote locations?

The trailers incorporate enterprise-grade cellular connectivity as the primary communication method, utilizing multi-carrier routers that automatically select the strongest available network. For extremely remote locations with limited cellular coverage, we offer satellite communication options or local storage with periodic connectivity. The system intelligently manages bandwidth usage through adaptive streaming resolution and selective cloud uploading, maintaining functionality even with limited connection speeds.

How quickly can a trailer be deployed and repositioned?

Standard deployment typically requires 2-4 hours from arrival on site to full operational status, including positioning, stabilization, mast extension, solar panel orientation, and system activation. Repositioning an existing trailer generally takes 1-2 hours, depending on the new location's accessibility. For time-critical security needs, we offer expedited deployment services with pre-configured trailers that can be operational within 60 minutes of arrival at prepared sites.

How does weather affect the trailer performance?

The trailers are engineered for year-round operation in diverse weather conditions. The solar power systems account for seasonal variations in sun angle and duration, while the structural components withstand high winds (up to 60 mph in operational mode, higher when lowered for storm protection). Weatherproof camera housings maintain functionality during heavy rain, snow, and temperature extremes. The power management system includes temperature-compensated charging to optimize battery performance across varying climate conditions.

Can the trailer cameras integrate with our existing security systems?

Yes, Verkada's cloud-based architecture enables seamless integration with your established security ecosystem. The mobile cameras appear alongside fixed installations in the same Command interface, with identical functionality for viewing, searching, and alert configuration. The system supports role-based access control, allowing you to apply existing security permissions to the mobile assets. For organizations with third-party video management systems, we can implement integration options that incorporate trailer footage into existing monitoring workflows.

What security measures protect the trailers themselves?

The trailers incorporate multiple physical and electronic safeguards against tampering or theft. Steel construction with reinforced access panels prevents unauthorized entry to system components. GPS tracking enables location monitoring and geofence alerts if the trailer moves from its designated position. Tamper-detection sensors trigger immediate notifications if anyone attempts to access restricted components. The mast and camera assembly includes anti-climb features, while wheel locks and hitch security devices prevent unauthorized towing when deployed.
