The High Cost of Owning Security Equipment

When it comes to securing temporary or changing job sites, many companies face the same question: should you invest in your own surveillance system or rent one as needed? While ownership sounds appealing, the reality is that permanent systems come with major hidden costs—installation, maintenance, upgrades, and eventual relocation or resale.

For most businesses, those expenses add up faster than you’d think.

“If your job site moves every few months, why tie yourself to a system that can’t move with you?”
