Need an Eye on Your Trailer: Time to Get Visionstat Portable

Do you know that there are billions of dollars in personal and business cargo stolen each year? To be more exact, companies lose as much as $20 billion of equipment to thieves yearly. An effective thief can steal a $100,000 of goods in a matter of minutes. In the time it takes to stop into a convenience store or to grab a bite to eat, your trailer contents could be stolen.

One approach is to make use of GPS technology, but because they have to be installed inside the vehicle and/or trailer and require a monthly service fee to track a stolen vehicle, they are cost prohibitive. It also assumes that the trailer will be stolen with the contents, in which case the GPS unit has to be located on the trailer. More often, the contents are stolen while the owner has his eye off the trailer. What you may need is something that is both practical (swift tow hitch camera) and discreet (wireless camera monitor) combined into one device. We are talking about a swift hitching trailer camera called VisionStat Portable.

Defining VisionStat Portable

VisionStat Portable is unlike an ordinary security camera that is permanently attached to your truck. It is composed of a battery operated, rechargeable wireless monitor and a wireless camera, which allows it to do many things. One of the main purposes is to allow you to easily and swiftly hitch up your trailer. Whether it is your own trailer or one that is rented, the system is completely portable so it goes with you. Plus the VisionStat Portable not only acts as a swift hitch for your tow vehicle, it can also help you monitor the contents of your truck or trailer. Instead of hoping that your trailer is secure, you can monitor it in real time for anyone who happens to prowl around your vehicle. Thieves don’t just appear suddenly, they often follow you to determine the best possible places to steal the goods once the vehicle is parked and unattended.

There are a lot of excellent features that you can look forward to with the VisionStat Portable:

1. You can use it on any type of vehicle. The quick hitching capabilities can be utilized whether you’re driving an RV vehicle, motor home, horse trailer or camper, to name a few. This means that one individual can more easily and swiftly hitch the towing vehicle to the vehicle-in-tow without the aid of a second person.

2. Its easily installed. The problem with other camera hitches is that they need to be wired into your vehicle, which may mean spending a lot of time setting them up. What’s more, they may need more maintenance. With the VisionStat Portable, however, all you need to do is to mount it using its magnetic base. Since the monitor and the camera are both wireless, they can be recharged just by using the power adapter in your vehicle. The VisionStat Portable also includes an AC adapter, which you can use to recharge inside a building every time you’re done using it. Plus it has an interface connector cable to use with a larger video monitor that may already be installed in the towing vehicle.

3. It includes a night vision camera. It’s certainly likely that you will be traveling at night time or when there is just not enough light to see clearly such at dusk or in a garage. VisionStat Portable has night vision capability, which means you can clearly see an image even in complete darkness.

4. The camera enclosure is made of aluminum. Just in case you’re wondering if it’s rugged, well the answer is yes. The camera housing is not plastic like some low end products, this ones made of metal to protect the camera lens and night vision LED’s. If these reasons aren’t enough for you to use VisionStat Portable, then perhaps the fact that it comes from Mobile Awareness will. They specialize in designing and marketing transportation safety products including the SenseStat Obstacle Detection Sensor System and TireStat Tire Pressure Monitoring System family of products.
