A CCTV server room made from a modified container is unique because it can be relocated just like a standard cargo container and is highly resistant to changing environmental conditions. Its durability comes from the corten steel components that form the external walls of the container.
A CCTV server room container is essentially a shipping container that has already been tested in the field for transporting cargo by land and sea. Before being used, every shipping container must undergo ISO standard testing to ensure its strength and durability during cargo handling and shipment.
During the modification process, sandwich panel insulation is installed on all walls and on the roof. This is not only intended to reduce heat but also to minimize noise, maintain temperature stability, and keep humidity tightly controlled in accordance with the operational requirements of server equipment. Even after modification, the structural integrity of the unit is reverified through detailed calculations to ensure it can withstand internal and external loads.
With container dimensions of 20 feet (6.058 meters) or 40 feet (12.192 meters) in length, 8 feet (2.438 meters) in width, and 8 feet 6 inches (2.591 meters) or 9 feet 6 inches (2.896 meters) in height, the modified container can be equipped with features needed for a CCTV server room, such as server racks, structured cabling, server devices, and supporting systems. The modified unit is also equipped with a cooling system supported by air conditioning, ventilation, and insulation to ensure that the room temperature remains well controlled.
For procurement, obtaining a modified container unit is faster compared to constructing a conventional building. If you are interested in using a modified container as your CCTV server room, you can order a unit from Tradecorp. Since 2014, Tradecorp has supported business operations and field projects by providing shipping containers, offshore DNV containers, ISO tank containers, modified containers, modular prefabricated buildings, and RapidFrame construction.

Comparison Between a CCTV Server Room and a Regular CCTV Server Room
|
Modified Container CCTV Server Room |
Conventional CCTV Server Room |
| Can be relocated to a new site without dismantling the internal structure. Ideal for moving project locations, remote areas, or temporary operations. | Permanent and cannot be relocated. Moving to a new site requires building everything from scratch. |
| Factory-built and delivered in a ready-to-use condition. Typically completed within a few weeks. | Requires civil construction, permits, electrical installation, and finishing. The duration may take months up to a year. |
| Requires structural verification after modification, especially in areas opened for AC units, additional doors, or cable pathways to ensure the container’s strength still meets standards. | Follows structural standards based on local building codes and is easier to customize because the structure is built from scratch. |
| Corten steel containers are relatively difficult to break into and come with secure locking systems. Suitable for high-risk locations. | Security level depends on room design, building materials, and overall building security. |
| Suitable for medium- to high-capacity CCTV equipment storage, especially when fast deployment, stable temperature control, and extra physical protection are needed. | Suitable for large and permanent installations with precise environmental control and full building system integration. |
Features in a CCTV Server Room
|
Feature |
Detailed Information |
| Thermal and Acoustic Insulation | Uses sandwich panels to maintain stable temperatures while reducing external noise. Insulation is essential because CCTV equipment and servers generate significant heat, making temperature fluctuations a major risk for overheating. |
| Anti-Static Flooring (ESD Flooring) | The floor is coated with anti-static material to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can damage sensitive components such as servers, switches, NVR units, and storage devices. This is a modern server room standard because ESD is often invisible yet highly destructive to hardware. |
| High-Security Door | Equipped with reinforced steel doors featuring dual locking systems or electronic access control. This protects the CCTV server room from unauthorized access, especially since CCTV data often contains sensitive information that could be risky if stolen or tampered with. |
| Redundant UPS System | Provides enough backup time for servers to shut down safely during a power outage. Redundancy ensures that if one UPS unit fails, another continues to support the system, preventing data loss or corrupted recordings. |
| Grounding System | Protects electronic devices from voltage spikes, lightning interference, and electrical instability. Poor grounding is a common cause of network hardware failure; therefore, grounding must follow low-voltage and electrical safety standards. |
| Structured Cabling | Network cables are neatly arranged using cable trays or raceways following TIA/EIA standards. This prevents crosstalk, simplifies troubleshooting, and maintains optimal airflow for effective cooling. Proper cable management significantly reduces downtime. |
| Gas-Based Fire Suppression System | Utilizes clean agents such as aerosol or special gases that extinguish fires without leaving residue and without damaging electronic equipment. This system is much safer than water-based suppression, which can cause total destruction of server hardware. |
| Early Smoke Detection | Uses sensors capable of detecting microscopic smoke particles long before flames appear. This feature is crucial in a CCTV server room that operates nonstop and contains multiple heat sources. Early detection helps prevent large-scale damage. |
| Internal CCTV System | Mini cameras are installed inside the server room to monitor technician activity or anyone accessing the space. This prevents unauthorized actions, data manipulation, or sabotage of the CCTV recording equipment itself. |
