[show]In the build up to Election Day, Donald Trump has spoken on issues such as, immigration, defense, and the housing crisis, all of which will likely involve an increased need for security. However, now he is elected, what does the future hold?
Following his pre-election promises, we discuss newly elected President Donald Trump's plans for the future and the increase to expect in security services such as Solar Surveillance Trailers.
The Pre-Election Promises
Prior to voting, both candidates share their ambitions and future for the country, providing voters with the opportunity to learn about each candidate’s plans and potentially guide them with their decision.
Donald Trump’s Campaign
Trump’s campaign laid out his approach to immigration, which was rated one of the most important problems by Americans earlier this year. He stated that border security funding was to be prioritized over other federal funding, and further security measures would be put in place to manage the issue.
Additionally, he spoke on the housing crisis, another big challenge faced by the nation. He vowed to reduce the regulatory hurdles on building new homes and open areas of federal land for large-scale housing construction.
With large improvement and expansion required for both, and obstacles to overcome such as a lack of border and security guards, where could security be increased?
We will break down these main issues, the challenges linked to them, and the expectations of security that could be created through this.
Immigration and Border Security
Part of Trump’s plans to tackle immigration involve expanding the border wall and hiring 10,000 new Border Patrol agents. However, with both matters come hurdles.
- Struggling to fulfill existing Border Patrol agent positions
- Border Patrol agents can be costly for large coverage locations
- An unclear future on the funding capabilities for new Border Patrol agents
- The US – Mexico border is nearly 2,000 miles long, with only 500 miles currently built
- Management still required for the border wall, if built
- Unable to provide 24/7 monitoring
Such implementation of more Border Patrol agents will benefit the protection of the border; however, security surrounding surveillance trailers and mobile solar surveillance could increase due to its effectiveness as a method.
By utilizing Border Patrol agents as the only method of defense, there is risk for human error due to fatigue, lack of concentration, and decreased visibility.
Therefore, surveillance solutions are becoming increasingly popular across multiple industries where there is sole reliance on security guards.
Provides Day/Night Monitoring
24/7 monitoring is more difficult for people, whereas surveillance trailers can monitor activity accurately at all times of the day, even when there is low visibility to the human eye.
Records and Stores Video Recording
Relying on recollection of events from an individual can lead to mistakes, however, with surveillance cameras, high resolution live recording can take place and is stored if needed for evidence or tracking in future.
Portable Design and Long-Lasting Power
Surveillance trailers can be deployed anywhere in minutes and moved at any time to any location. This allows you to focus on key areas which may be more difficult for someone to do when covering large spaces.
Also, they have long-lasting power and can even power themselves, without the need for intervention using solar-powered surveillance.
Increased Housing Construction on Federal Land
Another big announcement from Trump’s campaign centered around the housing crisis and combating this through investing in housing construction on available federal land in aims to keep housing affordable whilst increasing the availability of it.
An increase in construction often comes with an increase in security risks such as theft and vandalism. This can lead to delays and further expenses for projects as less than 25% of stolen construction materials are ever recovered.
To protect against crime like this, security will be required to deter, prevent, and respond to potential threats faced by construction sites.
Having the correct form of security to prevent this is vital, and mobile surveillance solutions provide many benefits and flexibility for construction projects.
Deterrent Factor
Standing 20ft tall, solar trailers pose an immediate deterrence to intruders through their visibility. With added features of loudspeakers, flashing lights, and sirens to stop criminals in their tracks.
PTZ Tech
Our solar trailers can be fitted with WCCTV’s pole cameras, delivering PTZ control that allows the camera to move both vertically and horizontally, and zoom in to threats or locations closely.
24/7 Live Monitoring with Human Surveillance Back-up
Construction sites require constant surveillance, and with our mobile camera trailers, you have the security of 24/7 monitoring and the further reassurance of this being streamed to monitoring centers where trained individuals will monitor and quickly react to threats.
With a boost in construction and security expected, understanding the best surveillance solution for your next project or future construction plans is vital in ensuring top-quality security that can manage all your needs.
