Mobile Patrol Security
in Sioux Falls
Visible deterrence, randomized routes, electronic check-in reports — and pricing that scales with how often you actually need us. Red Obsidian operates mobile patrols across apartments, mobile home parks, storage facilities, HOAs, business parks, and construction sites throughout the Sioux Falls region.
We Patrol
Every Property Type
Our estimator handles seven distinct property types out of the box, each with unique check-in cadence, visit composition, and volume tier. The cost model adapts to what your property actually needs — not a generic per-hour rate.
Apartment Complexes
Resident parking lots, common-area buildings, pool decks, mail kiosks, and after-hours quiet enforcement. Detailed visit logs delivered to property management after every patrol.
Mobile Home Parks
Long internal road networks need different patrol logic than dense apartments. Our routes account for that — and our visit reports document specific lot numbers, not just generic perimeter checks.
Storage Facilities
Roll-up door checks, gate compliance, and after-hours intruder deterrence. Storage operators get visit logs that show every aisle was actually walked, not just driven past.
Business Parks
Multi-tenant office and light-industrial parks with shared parking lots, dumpsters, and after-hours loading dock activity. Patrols include lockup-unlock cycles when contracted.
HOAs & Communities
Pool houses, clubhouse buildings, common-area lighting verification, and quiet-hours patrols. We work with HOA boards on rate structures that match annual budget cycles.
Construction Sites
Material theft is the #1 jobsite loss. Active and dormant phases priced separately. Documentation includes equipment serial-number checks when contracted.
A Patrol You Can
Actually Audit
Property Walk
Before pricing, we walk the property with you, identify trouble zones, and decide what kind of visit composition makes sense — exterior drives, full walk-throughs, gate checks, lockup-unlock cycles, or a mix.
Transparent Estimate
Our online estimator delivers a complete written quote in under five minutes. The estimate is itemized — by visit type, by day, by week, by month — with the volume discount tier clearly shown. No mystery line items.
Randomized Routes
Every patrol is randomized — different times, different orders, different entry points. Predictable patrols are deterrence theater. Random patrols are deterrence that actually works.
Electronic Reporting
Each visit is logged with timestamp and location. Property managers receive after-visit logs the same day. Anomalies (open doors, suspicious vehicles, broken lights) are flagged immediately by phone.
Three-Tier
Volume Discount
Mobile patrol pricing scales with how often you need us. The more visits per month, the lower the per-visit rate.
40+ Visits / Month
The starting tier. Properties needing routine deterrence and after-hours coverage.
80+ Visits / Month
Mid-tier for properties with multiple daily check-ins, gate operations, or staffed lockup-unlock cycles.
120+ Visits / Month
The deepest discount tier. High-density properties or multi-site portfolios consolidating with one provider.

Quick Answers
What is mobile patrol and how does it differ from a stationary guard? +
A stationary guard is posted at one location for a continuous shift. Mobile patrol is a randomized series of timed visits to one or more locations across a shift. Mobile patrol delivers visible deterrence at a fraction of the cost of around-the-clock stationary coverage, and works well for properties that do not need a constant on-site presence.
How is mobile patrol priced? +
Pricing is per-visit, with the rate depending on visit type (exterior drive, full walk-through, gate check, lockup-unlock cycle), property type, and total visit volume per month. Our online estimator at redobsidiansecurity.com/estimator delivers a complete itemized quote in under five minutes.
What is the volume discount tier structure? +
Three tiers: 5% off at 40+ visits per month, 8% off at 80+, and 10% off at 120+. The discount applies automatically — you do not need to negotiate or remember to claim it. The estimator shows your tier in real time as you build the visit schedule.
What kind of report do I get after each patrol? +
Property managers receive an electronic visit log the same day. Each entry includes timestamp, location, route taken, and any anomalies observed. Anomalies that require immediate action (open doors, suspicious vehicles, alarm conditions) are also flagged by phone in real time.
Can I schedule patrols only on certain days or times? +
Yes. The estimator builds a 7-day grid where you specify visit type and count for each day independently. Most properties run heavier weekend coverage than weekday — the model handles that natively.
Do you patrol mobile home parks differently than apartments? +
Yes. Mobile home parks have long internal road networks and lot-by-lot identification, which changes route logic. Apartments are denser with concentrated common areas. Our estimator has dedicated property types for each, with different baseline visit compositions.
What payment methods do you accept? +
All major credit and debit cards through secure Stripe processing. Net-terms ACH and monthly invoicing available for established commercial accounts.
