Backstreet Surveillance Answer:
NO, there are no additional costs of operation with our rentals. Everything is included in the quoted monthly fee with the exception of long term cloud storage which is quoted as needed.
Industry in General Answer:
Yes — along with the base rental fee for a surveillance trailer, there are often additional fees for data, cellular connectivity, and storage.
-
Cellular or Satellite Data Plan: If the trailer streams video live or sends alerts over a network, you’ll likely pay a monthly data or connectivity fee.
-
Cloud Storage Fees: If you choose cloud backup for video (instead of or in addition to local storage), there may be charges based on storage size and retention time.
-
Expanded Storage or Bandwidth: Higher-resolution video (e.g. 4 K) or long-term video retention can increase storage or bandwidth costs.
-
Optional Monitoring Services: If the rental includes managed surveillance — live monitoring, alert scanning, security dispatching — that often comes with extra fees on top of basic rental.
