Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Mobile Video Guard

Video surveillance is an essential addition to your business budget that protects people, property, and possessions. Mobile Video Guard provides multiple options to safeguard your site, so we get many questions about our services and methods. 

Here are answers to the questions we hear most often, sorted by category. Contact our team with any further inquiries. 

CCTV Cameras

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) keeps watch on your business and commercial interests. They are most commonly used to detect and deter criminal activity.

This equipment is composed of monitors, cameras, and sometimes wires or cables. These work to view, record, and archive live events.

Analog cameras store video on-site with basic security functionality and show feeds on standard TVs. Wired cameras use cables to send footage to a monitor. Internet Protocol (IP) cameras deliver superior visual, audio, and recording.

IP cameras allow users to see security feeds from anywhere, anytime. This provides greater peace of mind, removes the need for on-site visits, and allows faster preventive action.

Any site can be secured. Residential construction sites, scrap yards, recycling yards, and other industrial and commercial sites can benefit most.

You can trust Mobile Video Guard for all your CCTV installation and service needs. Contact us to learn more.

Mobile Surveillance Units

Mobile surveillance offers freedom and flexibility. Units can be deployed anywhere as needed.

Units offer four different camera views, recording motion 24/7 with optional 360-degree surveillance from heights of 20 feet. Feeds are monitored live from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily by staff experienced in law enforcement, with optional 24-hour weekend and holiday coverage.  Our command center allows remote interaction via loudspeakers and strobe lights to deter crime. Further features include mobile app access and advanced analytics.

There are no long-term contracts. Cameras can be rented daily, weekly, or monthly, with no repair or replacement costs. Consistent monthly billing means you pay the quoted amount monthly unless you add or remove camera units.

Remote systems can often be installed within minutes. They don’t rely on much wiring or access to electrical ports, meaning they’re not tied to predefined locations.

Any business can benefit, but some sectors have more to gain than others, such as construction or commercial sites, infrastructure areas, and storage yards. These are more vulnerable to robbery, vandalism, and trespassing.

Having a 24/7 view of such properties helps prevent crime. Contact our office to learn more.

NVR Vs. DVR Cameras

Either of the two main categories of security cameras may work for you, depending on site size and security needs. Here are some common questions:

NVR stands for Network Video Recorder. It’s a digital system that works with IP cameras to encode video before sending it to NVR storage. NVRs connect to a wireless network or Ethernet.

DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder, a coaxially wired system that converts analog input from camera recordings into digital format. All data received by the DVR is processed and saved to a storage device or hard drive.

They can be easier to install due to their wireless capabilities and smaller, more flexible connectors and cables. IP cameras provide greater clarity, zooming, and audio. NVRs save money on utility bills.

DVRs integrate well with existing wired surveillance systems and quality analog cameras, and they’re significantly cheaper than IPs. Coax cables are versatile, allowing easier upgrading of existing coax lines and greater cable distance.

You can use both at the same time. This optimizes the strengths and minimizes the weaknesses of each.

Smaller businesses may find DVR sufficient, while larger ones may require NVR. Contact Mobile Video Guard to discover what fits you.

Trade Show and Exhibit Video Guard

Display-specific security features help protect your presence and investment by providing:

  • Three camera views per unit
  • 180-degree views from 9 feet high
  • Live monitoring from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. daily by surveillance agents

Real-time monitoring allows for warning announcements and strobe lights delivered directly to your exhibit, with venue security and local authorities immediately notified. Mobile trade show security also offers time-lapse footage that can be used for advertising.
