Is mobile patrol cheaper than a stationary guard?

Yes. Mobile patrol is billed per visit rather than per hour, so a property receiving several randomized checks each night typically costs a fraction of a 24/7 stationary post. Patrol suits vacant property, storage, and multi-building campuses. A stationary guard is better where access control or immediate incident response matters.

Where patrol wins

Vacant buildings and land, self-storage, car lots, industrial parks, multi-building campuses, and off-hours coverage for properties that already staff a daytime post.

Where a stationary post wins

Lobbies, gatehouses, retail floors, cash handling, and any site where someone must screen visitors or respond within seconds rather than minutes.
