24/7 Peace of Mind with Ensol's Surveillance Trailer

An Electrical Engineer with Ensol Systems discusses the specifications of the latest custom surveillance trailer project for local law enforcement.

Read about the unique details of the project including how it works and its customizable components.

The main purpose of the trailer is to provide surveillance and security. The trailer is powered by solar energy and deep cycle AGM battery bank and is communicated primarily on cellular but can accommodate Wi-Fi connections and Starlink.

How does the security trailer work?

The security trailer is equipped with:

• 2 panoramic cameras
• 1 pan tilt zoom camera (PTZ Camera)
• Motion sensors

Upon detection, the motion sensors will trigger the deterrent equipment, which could include:

• Speaker with pre-recorded audio
• Flood lights to light up scene and improve camera view
• Flashing lights to deter trespasser

The trailer offers full automation and remote control, enabling users to manage various aspects of the trailer's operation off-site through Ensol’s in-house EMI Technology.

EMI Technology acts as the brain of the system, enabling easy and smart management of:

• Control lights (through relays)
• Motion sensing
• Battery levels
• System consumption
• Solar power generation
• Monitors input and output signals (alarms, I/O signals, etc.)
• Tilting solar panels

The EMI Technology has an API which can be used to easily integrate existing monitoring infrastructures. It can be used for many automation and control scenarios, and the system can join the UNI Platform service to easily manage boards.

What are the technological features of this specific trailer?

The trailer includes the following tech specifications:

• Network cameras with available smart features (motion sensing, night vision, tracking features)
• EMI Technology which is customizable in terms of programming (can accommodate custom scripts for automating processes or monitoring)
• IoT connectivity to the system and EMI Technology are able to provide MQTT protocol
• Onboard computer for video monitoring system and local storage (flexible storage size)
• System is interconnected to an onboard dashboard

Is the trailer customizable?

Ensol's trailer is customizable and designed to fit all types of industrial equipment, vehicles, and road conditions, even in remote environment.

The features of the trailer that can be customized are:

• Solar power production (size of solar panel array)
• Battery storage type and size
• Sensor package (cameras, motion sensors, radars, and others)
• Remote Connectivity (via cellular, Starlink, or Wi-Fi)
• Power generation using solar or a hybrid system (fuel cell and solar)
