How often do you think about the cameras around you? Most of us underestimate how frequently we’re recorded, but the reality is that surveillance has become a vital part of modern life. From grocery stores to traffic lights, video surveillance is everywhere. In fact, it’s estimated that the North American Industrial Security and Surveillance Market will grow at 14.80% YoY from 2022 to 2027, while home security systems are now at 24.4% this year, and expected to hit 52% by 2028.
Introducing Mobile Surveillance Solutions
Whether you’re securing large events, monitoring construction sites, or ensuring public safety, mobile surveillance systems offer the versatility you need. Unlike permanent systems, mobile setups provide the flexibility to deploy quickly and adapt to changing needs.
Key Components of Mobile Systems Include:
- Camera(s)
- Alarms & Lighting
- Solar panels & battery backups
- Networking hardware & sensors
- ControlByWeb® IoT controllers
ControlByWeb® controllers are the perfect choice for mobile surveillance due to their modular design, no-code configuration, and advanced security features. From camera control to environmental monitoring, these controllers offer full system management right at your fingertips.

Valorence specializes in modular, all-in-one mobile surveillance solutions, offering everything from pole-mounted cameras to mobile trailers and covert setups disguised as everyday structures. Their systems are deployed in a wide variety of scenarios, including construction sites, public events, and city streets. One of their key clients includes local, state, and federal agencies that rely on Valorence systems to monitor sensitive areas, respond to emergencies, and deter crime.
A critical part of their success is their reliance on ControlByWeb® edge-programmable controllers. Since the company’s inception, they’ve utilized ControlByWeb® devices to add versatility, reliability, and remote management capabilities to their surveillance solutions. ControlByWeb® controllers serve as the central “brain” of the entire system, offering a range of benefits:

- IP Camera Reboot: With cameras often positioned in hard-to-reach areas, remote troubleshooting is crucial. ControlByWeb® devices allow Valorence to perform an instant camera reboot from anywhere, reducing downtime and ensuring continuous coverage.
- Environmental Monitoring and System Protection: Surveillance systems are often exposed to harsh weather conditions. ControlByWeb® controllers are equipped with temperature and humidity sensors that monitor the environment and trigger automatic shutdowns if conditions fall outside of safe operational ranges. This helps to protect the hardware and extend its lifespan.
- Alarm and Light Control: To enhance visibility during nighttime operations or to draw attention to security breaches, Valorence utilizes high-powered strobe lights and alarm systems. These are easily controlled via ControlByWeb®’s edge controllers, allowing for manual or automated operation as needed.
- Remote Access and Full Control: One of the standout features of ControlByWeb® devices is their remote access capability. Whether Valorence’s systems are set up in rural areas or dense urban environments, operators can monitor, manage, and troubleshoot the entire system remotely. This capability is crucial for large-scale operations and reduces the need for on-site personnel, ultimately saving time and costs.
- Modular Flexibility: ControlByWeb® controllers are designed to be modular, meaning they can be expanded with additional inputs and outputs to accommodate new requirements. This flexibility allows Valorence to customize each system to meet the specific needs of their clients, from simple setups to complex, multi-component solutions.
