Common Features: Construction Security Trailer
Infrared Lighting
Quality lighting is not always guaranteed on a construction site. There are some sites with poor lighting depending on the location and other factors. As a result, it becomes hard for typical cameras to monitor the environment throughout the time. Fortunately, a surveillance trailer features infrared lighting, enabling one to keep watch of the vicinity with uneven lighting.
Real-Time Alerts
The trailer comes with a system configuration that sends an instant alert when, for example, something like motion is detected at the premises. It sends an instant alert about the situation. These alerts help you to respond immediately.
Scheduled Recording
The system allows you to record footage for a specific time or interval. For this reason, it saves a lot of space on the trailer’s memory device integrated into the system.
