Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about mobile security trailer rental in Chicago and Northern Illinois.

Deployment & Setup

How quickly can you deploy a security trailer to my site?

We can typically deploy within 1-2 business days of your call. Once on site, our trailers are fully operational within 30 minutes. For emergency situations, same-day deployment may be available - call us to discuss your urgent needs.

What do I need to provide for installation?

Nothing! Our trailers are completely self-contained. They're solar-powered, so no electrical hookup is needed. We just need a relatively flat area to position the trailer. We handle all delivery, setup, and activation.

Can the trailer be moved during my rental?

Yes! One of the key advantages of mobile security trailers is their flexibility. As your construction project progresses or your needs change, we can relocate the trailer to a new position on your site. Contact us to schedule a relocation.

Technical & Features

How do solar-powered security trailers work during Chicago winters?

Our trailers are specifically designed for harsh Midwest winters. They feature high-capacity LiFePO4 battery systems that can operate for 7-10 days without sunlight, cold-weather solar panels that work efficiently even in overcast conditions and snow, and weatherproof housings rated for temperatures from -40°F to +140°F. We've operated through multiple Chicago winters without issues.

Can I view my security cameras remotely?

Yes! Every client receives access to our mobile app for iOS and Android, allowing you to view live footage, receive instant alerts, review recorded video, and control camera settings 24/7 from anywhere. The app works whether you're on-site or across the country.

How high can the cameras see?

Our telescoping masts extend up to 30 feet, providing an elevated view that covers large areas. The cameras feature 360-degree rotation, 90-degree tilt, and powerful zoom capabilities with night vision effective up to 300 feet.

How long is footage stored?

Footage is stored locally for 30 days and also backed up to the cloud. If you need longer retention for specific incidents or compliance purposes, we can accommodate extended storage.

What happens if the trailer needs maintenance?

All maintenance and repairs are included in your rental fee at no additional cost.

If a component fails, we'll fix it or swap the entire unit to ensure continuous coverage.
