When people think of mobile video surveillance, they usually think “sites with no infrastructure.” That is, sites without electricity or WiFi connectivity – like those typically found in construction, agriculture, oil and gas exploration, etc.

Lighting, location, weather, and access to electricity should all be considered if you want to seamlessly protect your business.

How can businesses make their operations more resilient so they can avoid business disruptions when events beyond their control strike?
