Solar Security Trailer Guide

Our tips to help you find the solution that’s right for you.

Intro to Solar Security Trailers

Portable, Durable & Customizable are just a few benefits of choosing STARCOMM as your jobsite surveillance provider. One of the main concerns of our customers is jobsite theft. States with the highest amount of agriculture and construction account for the highest rate of theft across the country. How do we decrease these numbers? We continue to take preventative methods such as using security cameras on the jobsite to monitor all traffic coming and going. Solar Security Trailers are a simple way of maintaining

How do Solar Security Trailers work?

Solar Security Cameras come in variations. Not all solar-powered devices operate the same, but most solar-powered cameras utilize solar panels to harness and turn the sun’s direct energy current into an alternate source of power that the security camera system requires. The more sun the more power. Do solar security cameras work if it’s not sunny? Yes! STARCOMM solar security trailers are manufactured with a deep cycle battery operating in sync with the trailer for this varied circumstance. We can’t control mother nature, but we can prepare you to have consistent video recording even during inclement weather.

Can Solar Security Trailers read license plates?

STARCOMM offers different camera head options for your trailer rental, depending on your needs. Are you concerned with auto traffic on your jobsite? You’re going to want to include our license plate recognition camera in your order. The high-definition LPR cameras capture the image of the license plate. They use internal firmware to automatically process and translate what may be a blurry image into readable characters.

Advantages of License Plate Recognition Cameras:

  • Over 94% recognition rate (including low quality captured images)
  • 15-40 millisecond processing of a single image
  • Detects format of a vehicle plate
  • Detects vehicle/plate movement direction in a video

When do LPR cameras come in handy? If you’ve ever been a victim of Jobsite or personal theft, having all of the information to take to the authorities is so important. By capturing detailed photos of license plate traffic to and from your location, you’re preparing yourself should there be an incident. Common scenarios we’ve seen our customers use the LPR solutions include Parking lots, Construction Sites, Residential communities, School campuses, and Hospitals.

Are There Solar Security Trailers without WiFi?

Most solar security cameras require an internet connection to record their footage. Our solar security trailers connect to the internet using cellular data (LTE). Additionally, STARCOMM solar security trailers can still record footage live by connecting the security trailer to an NVR ( Network Video Recorder). It automatically uploads all recorded footage into a cloud repository for you to view later. If you want to access your jobsite security camera footage, you must plug into the NVR to download any of your recordings. If you still have questions, chat with our team of experts today.
