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?

Deployment is usually same-day or next business day. Once on site, our trailers are typically fully operational within about 30 minutes. For urgent situations, same-day service is often available - call us to discuss immediate 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. Battery backup supports up to 7 days without sunlight, and each trailer includes gas generator backup for extended outages with scheduled refueling available. Cold-weather solar panels continue charging in overcast and snowy conditions, and weatherproof housings are rated from -40°F to +140°F for extreme temperatures.

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.

Pricing & Terms

What is included in your rental pricing?

Our rental includes: the trailer and all cameras, solar power system with battery backup, delivery and professional setup, all maintenance and support, mobile app access for live viewing, and 24/7 professional monitoring. Monitoring can be disabled at your request, but pricing remains all-inclusive. There are no hidden fees - the price we quote is the price you pay.

What rental terms do you offer?

What happens if the trailer needs maintenance?

All maintenance and repairs are included in your rental fee at no additional cost. Our local technical team provides preventive maintenance, 24/7 technical support, and immediate repair or replacement service. If a component fails, we'll fix it or swap the entire unit to ensure continuous coverage.
