F.A.Q.
What are Mobile Surveillance Units?
A Mobile Surveillance Unit (MSU) is a portable security tower designed to provide real-time visibility using cameras, lighting, sensors, and remote monitoring. ECAM pioneered mobile security towers more than 20 years ago as ECAMSECURE and continues to lead the industry with advanced, AI-enhanced mobile surveillance systems deployed across North America.
How does a Mobile Surveillance Unit help keep my property secure?
A Mobile Surveillance Unit provides a visible security presence and real-time monitoring to help deter crime. ECAM’s mobile security units combine high-definition cameras, lighting, and proactive response tools that allow operators to intervene early and prevent incidents before they escalate.
Where can I set up a Mobile Surveillance Unit on my property?
Mobile surveillance units can be deployed almost anywhere, from construction sites and parking lots to residential communities and retail centers. ECAM’s mobile security towers are engineered for fast setup in powered and remote environments, giving you flexible coverage no matter your location.
How quickly can I get a Mobile Surveillance Unit delivered and running?
Most mobile video surveillance systems can be deployed and fully active within 24–48 hours. ECAM handles delivery, configuration, and testing to ensure your site is protected quickly with minimal disruption.
What’s the difference between using a Mobile Surveillance Unit and hiring a security guard?
A Mobile Surveillance Unit offers 24/7 coverage with no breaks or blind spots. ECAM’s monitored surveillance towers record continuously and enable operators to respond immediately through audio deterrence, giving you broader visibility and faster reaction capability than a security guard alone.
Can I rent a Mobile Surveillance Unit instead of buying one?
Yes, ECAM offers flexible rental and service options for short-term projects or long-term needs. Mobile surveillance towers are ideal for temporary or seasonal jobs where you want affordable, scalable security without building permanent infrastructure.
How much power does a Mobile Surveillance Unit need to run?
Most ECAM mobile surveillance systems operate on solar power with battery backup, allowing them to run reliably in off-grid locations. Generators can be added for sites with low sunlight or extended nighttime activity requiring continuous uptime.
How does installation and maintenance work for a Mobile Surveillance Unit?
Mobile surveillance towers are fast to install and require minimal site prep. Our in-house, local technicians handle delivery, setup, calibration, and ongoing maintenance, ensuring your portable security tower stays fully operational without adding work to your team.
Is my company too small to benefit from a Mobile Surveillance Unit?
No, mobile surveillance units work for businesses and properties of any size. We support small sites, single-location operations, and growing companies needing affordable, flexible mobile security coverage without a large footprint or staff.
Can I use a Mobile Surveillance Unit for short-term projects or temporary needs?
Yes. ECAM offers flexible timelines for short-term, seasonal, or temporary deployments. Whether you need a mobile surveillance tower for days, months, or an extended project, we tailor the schedule to fit your budget and operational requirements.
