Frequently Asked Questions:
Solar Mobile Surveillance Trailers

Q1. How much does a solar mobile surveillance trailer cost to rent or buy?

Answer: Pricing depends on the trailer’s features and your deployment duration. GenX Security offers flexible rental plans as well as sales of custom-built units. In general, a trailer can be purchased starting at $25,000 and up depending on configuration. Rental costs are typically billed monthly or weekly – a cost-effective option for short-term needs. Contact us for a quote tailored to your situation.

Q2. How are the mobile surveillance trailers powered, especially at night?

Answer: Our mobile trailers are solar-powered, charging an array of batteries during the day. At night or during overcast weather, the batteries take over to power the cameras and electronics. Many trailers (including ours) also have a backup generator or shore power hookup for extended bad weather. This hybrid power system ensures uninterrupted operation 24/7, without needing to wire into any external power grid.

Q3. How easy is it to set up and move a solar mobile surveillance trailer?

Answer: Very easy. These units are designed for rapid deployment. Simply park the trailer at the desired location, lower the stabilizer jacks, and raise the mast – setup can be done in under 30 minutes. When it’s time to move, reverse the steps: lower the mast, raise the jacks, hitch the trailer to a truck, and go. One person can handle the whole process. This quick mobility allows you to respond to changing security needs or emergencies without hassle.

Q4. Do the cameras on mobile surveillance trailers have night vision and long-range zoom?

Answer: Yes. Our trailers come with up to three HD PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom), bullet, or quad security cameras that have powerful infrared night vision for after-dark surveillance. They can see clearly in complete darkness at distances of several hundred feet. The optical zoom capability allows you to read license plates or recognize faces from far away, ensuring large areas are effectively covered.

Q5. Do mobile surveillance trailers record everything, and how is footage stored?

Answer: You can configure the system to record continuously 24/7 or only on motion events, depending on your needs. Video footage is stored on a secure onboard hard drive/NVR, and can also be uploaded to the cloud for backup. This means you’ll have a full audit trail of any incidents. You can review footage remotely at any time, and important clips can be downloaded and shared with law enforcement if needed.
