Does leasing surveillance equipment add up?
When someone is checking into using mobile surveillance, perhaps for the first time, it’s not uncommon for them to wonder—should we purchase equipment or just rent it? It’s a smart question to ask because there are many offerings out there.
Like any other rental vs. purchase decision a company makes, long-term leasing is generally more profitable for the provider than it is for you. The length of time you plan on using a surveillance trailer is a primary factor that should impact your decision-making. There are other considerations, too, such as platform customization, integration to your existing systems, and what kinds of technologies will meet your mission.
This month, we’re launching a series of informative posts comparing purchase and lease options for mobile surveillance equipment. We invite you to read our first post on this topic here.
