LEASE VS. BUY: MAKING THE SMART CHOICE FOR MOBILE SURVEILLANCE

Construction site theft is a major issue, with estimated losses in the U.S. ranging from $300 million to $1 billion annually, according to the National Equipment Register and National Insurance Crime Bureau (source). What’s worse, less than 25% of stolen equipment is ever recovered, creating major financial and operational setbacks for businesses across industries.

Given these risks, investing in a mobile surveillance solution is a smart move. But when it comes to acquiring this equipment, businesses face a critical decision: lease or buy?

WHY LEASING MAKES SENSE

  • Flexible Terms
    Rent for the duration you need—month-to-month, short-term, or long-term—without being locked into rigid contracts.

  • Access to the Latest Tech
    Stay up to date with the newest surveillance equipment without worrying about depreciation or replacement costs.

  • All-inclusive Support
    Leases typically bundle in monitoring, software, maintenance, and troubleshooting—eliminating the need to hire extra staff or manage multiple vendors.

  • Lower Upfront Costs
    Leasing turns a major capital expense into a predictable monthly operational cost, simplifying cash flow and budgeting—especially useful for bid-based construction projects.

THE HIDDEN COSTS OF BUYING

  • High Initial Investment
    Buying a quality domestic trailer with compliant cameras can cost $60,000+, not including ongoing software, monitoring, and maintenance fees.

  • Full Responsibility
    Ownership means handling all repairs, software updates, tech support, transportation, and storage logistics.

  • Tech Becomes Outdated
    Security technology evolves rapidly—buying means you’re stuck with what you own, while leasing ensures access to continuous upgrades.
