Deployment speed is a primary reason mobile surveillance is chosen over fixed systems, and system complexity directly undermines that advantage. Separate power runs for cameras, independently commissioned networking gear, and standalone power management each add on-site time and create misconfiguration risks. At $300-$500 per truck roll, integration complexity carries real operational cost.
Integrated Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3bt, up to 90W per port) eliminates separate power runs to cameras: a single CAT6 cable handles both data and power at every location. Combined with a platform that consolidates compute, networking, cellular, and power management into one unit, component count drops significantly, meaning faster commissioning, fewer configuration steps, and a simpler troubleshooting surface in the field.
