As SentriForce has designed and developed our own mobile video surveillance units, we have made the physical footprint of the unit much smaller and therefore, the units are mounted on a pole which requires professional installation and relocation. As the primary purpose of the mobile video surveillance unit is to detect unwanted intrusion, the aiming of the thermal image camera is tantamount for the performance of the unit. The state-of-the-art components are somewhat sensitive and can be damaged if not correctly installed. This is especially true if the mobile video surveillance unit is a solar powered style, which requires the correct direction and tilt of the panel for optimum performance.
