Former equipment executive creates mobile surveillance company

24/7 Onsite Cameras, Inc., of Columbia, IL, has announced it is officially open for business, as of June 1, 2010, to market for sale and rent mobile surveillance units. The primary market focus for “Rental Surveillance Units,” or RSUs, will be construction sites, entertainment events, federal and local law enforcement authorities, plus commercial applications where assets are temporarily at risk, the company said in a recent press release. 

Founder and President Keith Jackson joined forces with Cameras Onsite, Inc., of Houston, TX, as the manufacture of the RSUs. The rental offering includes both electric units and diesel hybrid units that are self-contained and have a run time of up to 90 days without service.

The traditional trailer mounted option is also available for sale to those that wish to own the product. 

While mobile units have been available in other parts of the country, the RSU will be the first of its kind for rent in the St. Louis, MO, area. The RSU utilizes the most advanced form of video compression, wireless and cellular networks to provide the most modular system available.

Simply put, this unit can be delivered and set up within minutes, providing a 360-degree view immediately. Customers can monitor their own site through the Internet from anywhere in the world, or can contract for monitoring support. Such monitoring will record all motion, both internally and at our central monitoring station, where our team can immediately dispatch a call to the proper authorities in the event an established protocol has been compromised.

“24/7 OnSite Cameras, Inc. is very excited about the opportunity to be the exclusive distributor for this product in the Midwest,” said Jackson.

Since early 1990, Jackson has held executive level positions for two large corporations in the St. Louis area, both of which gained market domination under his leadership in the construction/industrial arena.

“This technology is long overdue in the Midwest and we are excited to once again provide a product that will fill a niche market 24/7/365 days per year,” said Jackson. Plans are already in place to open branch locations in Memphis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Kansas City and Cincinnati.
