Whether due to inheritance delays, real estate transactions, or slow-moving renovations, having a vacant home or commercial building in Marseille is a common situation. The first step owners usually take to save money is requesting utility suspensions (such as EDF/electricity) and canceling active internet subscriptions.
This is exactly where security vulnerabilities arise: how do you run traditional cameras or alarm systems without a constant power outlet or a local Wi-Fi router? Without supervision, your vacant property is highly vulnerable to metal scrap theft and opportunistic squatter networks.
Fortunately, there are highly reliable, 100% wireless and autonomous security solutions specifically engineered for these situations. Here is how they operate.
Zero Power Outlets Required
Traditional home cameras must remain plugged in 24/7. Modern temporary security systems designed for empty buildings and construction sites rely on two technical breakthroughs to ensure battery lifespans of nearly a year:
- Low-power Motion Detection: Our cameras do not record empty space endlessly. Instead, they are equipped with passive infrared heat sensors. If a human moves past, the camera wakes up automatically in fractions of a second, starts recording, and sends the alert.
- Heavy-duty Lithium Battery Packs: Fading AA batteries are a thing of the past. We integrate professional battery units engineered to withstand freezing winter winds and the scorching Marseille summer heat. You do not have to worry about charging or maintaining them.
Cellular 4G Connectivity: No Wi-Fi Needed
If there is no active internet router (Orange, Free, etc.) on-site, we use the local cellular networks (4G or 5G) – exactly like a smartphone!
Our CCTV surveillance hubs connect seamlessly:
- Multi-Carrier SIM Cards: Whether your property is in L’Estaque or deep in Les Goudes, our professional-grade cellular SIM cards automatically connect to the strongest available signal in Marseille (Orange, SFR, or Bouygues).
- Instant Video Verification: The moment a sensor detects someone trying to pry open a ground-floor window, a short video clip showing the intrusion is routed directly to your smartphone within seconds, allowing you or local police to intervene immediately.
Zero Damage to Your Walls
Our clients love that installation is completely clean. There are no cables to route, and no destructive holes to drill into structural walls.
Our technicians install these compact wireless modules with non-damaging mounting brackets designed to latch onto temporary armored anti-squat doors. In less than 2 hours, your entire vacant property is secured!
Summary
Anticipation is the absolute key to peace of mind. Pairing a robust, tamperproof steel front door block with a cordless cell-connected alarm represents the perfect defense to repel vandals and prevent devastating squatter occupations.
