Jobsite Security Goes Green And Extremely Mobile

March 2008
This company is harnessing the power of the sun to save clients money and energy.

As the construction industry continues to expand, developers are commonly finding themselves building in more remote locations. When this happens, obtaining reliable power for construction site security can become a problem. Fortunately, cutting-edge technology has fueled innovative products that offer security solutions. When there are security needs in extreme or remote locations with limited access to power, portable security systems, such as CPS Security Solution’s solar-powered mobile surveillance unit (MSU), really shine. MSUs can be put into action at virtually any construction area or commercial property while activity can be monitored from any location that has Web access.
     Furthermore, as builders and consumers become more conscious of all the far-reaching effects of power consumption, environmentally friendly security solutions are increasing in popularity. Not only are solar-powered devices less harmful to the environment, but they also reduce costs and fuel consumption.
     Mobile surveillance units can save builders money in a variety of ways. CPS’ signature product, the eCamSecure™ MSU, reduces the overall cost of construction site security while increasing efficiency. Its mere presence is a crime deterrent as it maintains wireless visual and audio contact with a property owner or builder 24/7. CPS has now made available a solar-powered version of the MSU as a “green” security solution where power sources are limited or as an alternative to costly and environmentally unfriendly gas generators.
     Over time, this solar-powered MSU literally pays for itself through energy and equipment cost savings. Highlighted by its 360-degree, rotating solar panel and night vision cameras, this self-contained surveillance powerhouse can be located virtually anywhere for maximum flexibility. With quick and easy set-up, it is ready to connect and protect any property or construction site without any of the limitations of a typical surveillance system. Plus, it is built tough enough to go to any type of remote location.
     The new CPS Solar MSU features an exclusive power management system that constantly monitors the condition of the equipment and transmits signals back to the central station. An extended battery backup powers the system for up to 4 days in the event of an outage.
     “Through the use of infrared illumination and without the need for expensive, polluting generators, the energy cost savings are substantial, while the benefits to the environment are evident,” says Chris Coffey, CEO of CPS Security. “We are committed to doing our part to become more energy efficient and to reduce pollution.”
