Many service vehicles and trailers require power for covert investigations and object protection for days and weeks.
| Output requirement | Between 15 W (for a digital camera) and 150 W (multi-channel video processing and transmission including IR lighting) |
| Autonomy requirement | For shifts of 10 – 24 hours up to 12 weeks for covert surveillance missions |
Surveillance vehicles and trailers often just stand by with their engines turned off, while still having to supply electrical consumers with power. Turning on the engine or a generator to charge batteries should be avoided. Using a fuel cell instead will increase the flexibility of these vehicles without drawing attention to them during covert operations. Additionally, the power source should fit into a car and should generate little or no signature.
Up to two EFOY/EFOY Pro fuel cells are directly connected to the battery on-board, fully automatically charging them when required. The electronic devices are connected to the on-board battery which can deliver a direct current of 12 V/24 V or, if needed, 230 V using an inverter.
“The perfect energy supply for on-site inspections”
The EFOY Pro fuel cells ensure the perfect supply of energy to our inspection vehicles while on-site inspections are being carried out.

The EFOY Pro fully automatically and quietly charges the vehicle’s or trailer’s battery so that electrical consumers are supplied with power even when the engine is turned off. Turning on the engine or a generator to charge the battery is avoided, therefore preventing harmful emissions. Covert operations are thus undetectable.

Mobile Surveillance
Mobile surveillance security systems are gaining popularity as technological advancements make the units more efficient and portable.[1] What differentiates mobile surveillance systems from stationary surveillance is their ability to connect through Wi-Fi and monitor remotely. These features enable you to control and monitor the system remotely from its physical location.
A mobile surveillance unit is a self-contained piece of equipment that can be readily moved from one location to another based on your needs.
Mobile surveillance can be classified into two broad categories:
Because mobile security and surveillance solutions are typically solar-powered or feature battery backup (which can be fuel cells), they can operate seamlessly without electricity.
Mobile surveillance systems offer a variety of advantages over fixed surveillance systems. Below are some of the reasons a mobile video surveillance system is a good investment.
Mobile video surveillance links wirelessly, allowing you to view the footage from your phone or tablet from any location. On the other hand, mobile audio surveillance units could help capture evidence for critical cases or record verbal information for later use. Whether you need to tape conversations, speeches, or other data, there are various audio spy equipment options available.
Mobile surveillance units are portable, eliminating the need to replace the device if your business relocates.
Mobile surveillance cameras can now instantaneously stream high-definition images to your smartphone or computer, giving you quick access to real-time footage at your convenience. Furthermore, the footage is securely kept to be used later.
Mobile surveillance units powered by battery or solar energy can be deployed almost anywhere without relying on the power grid. Even better, because the units are self-contained, they can be quickly and swiftly relocated as your needs change.
Take advantage of cloud-based monitoring, which eliminates the need for cabling, tools and time-consuming installation procedures. Mobile surveillance can be up and running much faster without any infrastructure, promptly giving you the security you need.
The mobility of mobile surveillance, paired with technological improvements, is what makes it so effective today. Mobile surveillance cameras are portable and can connect to the internet wirelessly via the cell phone network. Instead of storing security footage on a huge DVR, the information is securely uploaded to the cloud.
Like many other things, mobile surveillance systems have a life cycle. And although most end-users feel that a "good" mobile surveillance unit should last five to seven years, each system or gadget has a predetermined and intended life span. The most end-users also want to make the most of their initial investments, so they purchase upgrades to their existing mobile surveillance units to employ the latest technology or allow for more integration. Mobile surveillance units are frequently subjected to minor tweaks, but a complete redesign is extremely rare in the modern world of computer systems.
Because EFOY fuel cells are frequently employed in remote places, secure remote access is required. EFOY Cloud enables remote access to your methanol fuel cells, allowing for continuous laptop, tablet, or smartphone monitoring. All you need is an internet connection to your fuel cells to achieve complete mobile surveillance.
The following EFOY accessories enable you to monitor your fuel cells continuously, integrate them into an existing communication network, and increase your systems’ self-sufficiency:
