How does a mobile camera tower work?

At Kooi, we believe everyone deserves a peaceful and undisturbed night's sleep, including you. Unfortunately, that’s not a given at construction sites and other vulnerable locations. Theft, vandalism and unwanted intruders are growing problems, often leading to major financial losses, project delays and frustration. Criminals especially take advantage at night when sites are deserted.

That’s why Kooi offers temporary, mobile and innovative 24/7 camera surveillance. Our smart systems detect suspicious activity early, helping to prevent damage before it occurs. You benefit from optimal protection, lower costs and smooth project progress. Our mobile camera towers are directly connected to the Kooi Alarm Center. Once suspicious movement is detected, our specialists analyze the footage within seconds. If needed, they activate the built-in loudspeakers and sirens to deter intruders. If the situation escalates, we immediately involve police or security services.

The cost of a camera tower

Securing a construction site with smart, mobile cameras is often much more cost-effective than hiring on-site security personnel. The exact costs depend on factors like the size of your site, the type of security required (single camera or full site coverage), project duration and power availability.

You can secure a construction site 24/7 from just a few hundred euros per month, compared to around €4,500 per month for a night guard. This makes camera surveillance not only highly effective but also cost-efficient. That’s why we always offer a free, no-obligation site analysis, ensuring you get a tailored recommendation and a quote with the best price-quality ratio for your project.

The intelligent software behind mobile camera towers

Our camera towers are fully mobile and equipped with the latest technology. The system can distinguish between authorized personnel and unwanted visitors.

The intelligent software ensures that the camera tower accurately identifies suspicious activities. When an intruder attempts to enter your site, the Kooi Alarm Center receives an alert. Mobile video security is especially useful for remote areas like solar parks or wind farms. Thanks to infrared technology, they deliver razor-sharp, high-resolution images even at night. Crucial for locations where there are few passers-by to spot threats.

Flexible security solution with external energy sources

Our flexible security solutions are perfect for sectors where conditions often change. The easily deployable mobile camera tower is ideal for construction sites where valuable materials and machinery are at risk of theft.

No access to a power supply? Kooi offers external energy sources to make every mobile camera tower fully autonomous. We provide three options:

  • Power Box: A generator offering continuous power supply
  • Solar Power Unit: An eco-friendly solution using solar panels to generate electricity
  • Hybrid Power Box: A combination of solar energy with a silent generator as backup when needed

Specific applications

From securing construction sites to tech-driven surveillance for the recycling sector, all Kooi solutions are connected 24/7 to the Kooi Alarm Center for continuous protection.

Choose the mobile camera tower that suits your needs

Different projects demand different solutions. We offer various camera towers tailored to different purposes and site sizes. Our UFO units focus on theft prevention, while our RED systems are designed for early heat detection. Here’s a quick overview of our mobile camera towers:

UFO Prime

Designed to secure specific objects, this camera tower is installed at a fixed location. It's ideal for protecting site offices, material storage and other critical points, with a Fixed Dome Network Camera continuously monitoring the area.

UFO Medium

For large and complex construction sites, the UFO Medium is the best choice. Equipped with a 360° Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera and two fixed motion sensors, it provides complete site coverage. The powerful zoom and high resolution capture even the smallest details.

UFO Titan

Remote locations are often more vulnerable to crime, especially without power supply. The UFO Titan solves this with a built-in, eco-friendly energy system powered by solar panels. Fully autonomous, it secures large and complex sites with a PTZ camera that delivers crisp, infrared-enabled footage day and night.

UFO Go

Construction sites are prime targets for theft and vandalism. The UFO Go is developed to reduce security risks for compact locations such as access roads, entrances or fenced perimeters. Easily movable, it offers flexible protection as your project evolves.

RED Fixed

For covered storage areas where the risk of fire is high, the RED Fixed offers permanent heat monitoring. Installed at a fixed location, its thermometric camera continuously monitors temperature changes and alerts the control room when risks arise.

RED Mobile

Waste processors face daily fire risks due to lingering waste materials. The RED Mobile camera tower is designed for early fire detection. With a tilting 360° camera and smart software, it detects risky temperature rises and triggers alarms quickly.

RED Concrete

Large waste or recycling sites require extensive fire prevention. The RED Concrete is built for both indoor and outdoor use, covering up to 70,000 m². It helps detect and prevent fire outbreaks before they spread, minimizing damage and downtime.

Frequently asked questions about Mobile Video Security

Mobile video security is crucial for protecting construction sites, events, and remote locations. Frequently asked questions cover topics such as the benefits of mobile video surveillance, installation procedures, and system capabilities. Users often inquire about the range of features like live monitoring, motion detection, and night vision. Questions also include the scalability of systems, integration with existing security measures, and the cost-effectiveness of mobile video solutions. For more detailed answers and insights into mobile video security, explore our comprehensive FAQ section.

Kooi has different types of Units For Observation (UFO). There is a solution for every terrain. Especially in remote areas, an advanced camera security is a good investment.

Kooi secures numerous types of locations and not just construction sites. The innovative camera system is used to secure various sites from the largest wind farms in Europe to solar parks and from parking spaces to construction chains. You will find examples from our customers on our website.

Who carries out the alarm follow-up
Kooi has its own alarm center (the Kooi Alarm Center). All our specialists are trained to effectively resolve potential issues. They have sole access to the footage filmed by the camera unit and are therefore the only ones authorized to take appropriate action, such as playing an alarm or voice message or calling in the security or the police.

We tailor security for every project. The costs for camera surveillance depend on several factors, such as: a. The surface of the site, construction site or object to be secured. b. Is it possible to connect to the mains or do you need an external power supply, such as the Powerbox, Solar Power Unit or the Hybrid Powerbox. c. The number of camera systems required to view the desired detection area when obstacles are in the way. d. Duration of the project. It is always possible to adjust the conditions while the camera surveillance contract is on-going. Some locations are subject to constant change. That is why we can always reset the security, so that you are assured of a good camera coverage.
