Securing your entire property can feel like a game of whack-a-mole. With changing projects and needs constantly shifting—sometimes even by the hour—your security needs to keep up. One day, you might need extra coverage at the front of your site; the next day, you need eyes on that back as a truck unloads. As your business needs and projects evolve, so do your security needs. Mobile security solutions provide the flexibility to create a plan that grows and changes with you. 

Why Wired Systems Fall Short

Traditional wired security systems monitor properties by directly connecting cameras, sensors, and control panels to a power source through physical cables. However, setting up these systems typically requires professionals to run wires through walls, ceilings, and floors. This not only complicates the installation process but also comes with several limitations.

Limited Installation Options

There are many situations where running wires simply isn’t practical. Businesses don’t want to demolish parts of their existing buildings or parking lots just to install a wired system. Construction site crews don't want cables running across areas that shift daily as projects progress. Remote locations, like power plants or storage facilities, would incur enormous costs—sometimes thousands of dollars—to install a wired power system.

Lack of Flexibility

Wired security systems are inherently static. Making any changes to the setup is difficult, often requiring new holes to be drilled, wires to be rerouted, and professionals to handle the updates. This rigidity makes it hard to respond to the dynamic needs of a property. Whether you're rearranging a space, remodeling a building, or adjusting security coverage to match changing weather conditions or population flow, a wired system simply cannot adapt quickly or easily.

Vulnerability to Power Outages 

While most wired systems have backup batteries, prolonged power outages can leave sites vulnerable in the dark. Being connected to a main electrical grid means that if the grid goes out, so does your security. 

Advantages of a mobile security system

LVT’s mobile security solutions do not require any external plug-ins, wiring, or power sources. Their portability allows them to be moved with ease to adapt to the needs of any project or space. LVT Units are the best solution for mobile surveillance for business and construction site security.

Easy installation

LVT’s remote monitoring systems won’t require you to tear up walls or parking lots to install expensive wires and control panels—they’re self-contained. They can be set up within an hour, no expensive contractors required.

Flexibility

LVT Units are the definition of flexibility. Because you won’t need to worry about threading cables through walls, ceilings, or floors, you can set up cameras exactly where you need them, whenever you need them. Whether for the development of a construction project, renovating your business space, or just prepping for the next big event, LVT Units can shift to match your evolving needs. 

Even more than just moving the system to a new spot on your property, LVT’s settings are easy to adjust. With just a few taps in the LVT app, you can redefine the boundaries for alerts, select different voice responses for alarms, and even control a camera’s view using the pan, tilt, and zoom features. 

Scalability

LVT’s remote monitoring units allow you to seamlessly add new cameras to your system. If you are expanding a parking lot, opening additional buildings, or needing more support during a busy season, you can effortlessly extend your security coverage by simply adding more units. Deploying another unit is stress-free, and the app helps to keep all your units organized and unified.

Ideal for Hard-to-Reach Locations

Mobile security systems are particularly suited for remote and hard-to-reach areas where running cables would be impractical or expensive. Locations like construction sites, remote power plants, parking lots, or storage centers can be hard to secure due to the cost and effort it takes to put down wires. LVT systems are solar-powered, providing self-sustaining security in off-grid locations.

LVT Units aren't just for the middle of nowhere; they can shine in densely populated areas. When events get crowded or new hotspots pop up on your property, it can be tough for security officers to reach every corner. That's where LVT steps in. These mobile units can be swiftly deployed to high-traffic areas, ensuring that security is always present, even when physical access is limited. LVT Units provide the eyes and ears you need to keep everyone safe in those hard-to-reach spots. 

How Wohali Partners Benefits from LVT's Mobile Surveillance Units

Wohali Partners, a luxury residential community developer, faced unique security challenges when building their new site in Coalville, Utah. There were buildings in remote areas with construction projects that shifted daily. Traditional wired security systems were impractical in their 1,500-acre development. 

LVT's mobile surveillance units offered a flexible and efficient solution that perfectly suited their needs.

Rapid Deployment

LVT Units were quickly set up without using extensive cabling or wiring. Wohali’s high-risk construction areas were monitored, protecting expensive materials, vehicles, and projects. LVT provided adaptable security coverage from start to finish. 

Scalability and Adaptability

As construction progressed, the surveillance units were easily relocated to fit the needs of the site layout. This flexibility ensured that security was always focused on critical areas, such as storage zones for valuable materials and entry points. Given the site's remote location and limited access to utilities, LVT’s solar-powered mobile systems provided an ideal solution, delivering reliable security without the need for traditional wiring or power sources.

Remote Monitoring

The mobile units allowed Wohali Partners to keep a close eye on their property from a remote location. With real-time video access and alerts, the team could respond quickly to any security threats, providing peace of mind and safeguarding their investment.

The use of LVT's mobile surveillance units not only improved the security of the Wohali Partners site but also demonstrated the ways mobile security solutions can manage complex, evolving environments.
