Mobile Patrols
The visibility of a static guard at a fraction of the cost. Marked vehicles, randomised timings, licensed officers — with a GPS-tracked, photo-logged report in your inbox after every single visit.
Overview
What do mobile patrols cover?
Mobile patrols are the most cost-effective way to deter crime across multiple sites, large perimeters, or out-of-hours cover. Our marked vehicles visit your premises on a randomised schedule (so intruders can't time them), check every access point, respond to any alarms, and leave with a time-stamped report. You get the deterrent of a uniformed presence without paying for 24-hour static cover.

Why BigEye
What makes this service different
Randomised scheduling
Visit times vary nightly, so patterns can't be learned or timed by would-be intruders.
GPS-tracked patrols
Every patrol logged on our management system. You see the route, stop points, and dwell times.
Photo-logged reports
Every visit ends with a time-stamped report and photos, emailed directly to you.
Alarm response included
Any alarm activation during patrol hours is responded to by the same officer — no separate callout.
Pricing Guide
Transparent, written quotes
Mobile patrol pricing is per visit (typically from £45) or on a monthly retainer for multi-site contracts. Most clients schedule 2–4 randomised visits per night.
FAQs
Common questions about this service
How many patrols per night do you recommend?
Most sites benefit from 2–4 randomised visits overnight. We'll recommend a frequency based on site risk and insurance requirements during the free survey.
Do you patrol inside buildings or just perimeters?
Both — we can patrol internally where access is provided, or stick to perimeter and access-point checks. Your call.
What happens if the officer finds a problem?
The officer follows your pre-agreed escalation plan: police if there's a crime in progress, keyholder call-out, or emergency services if needed.
