The system provides easy and rapid movement of wire access point devices/antennae, security cameras, or both, within a rental or fleet facility. One or more support wires extend between connection points within the facility. The connection points may be fixed or moving (i.e., the connection point itself may be on a track or similar device, and thus be movable from point to point along the track). Trolleys supporting one or more security cameras, wireless access point devices, or similar devices, move along the support to desired locations. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for providing wireless network access and security in a connected fleet facility, comprising: a plurality of support wires suspended above a facility lot at a sufficient height so as not to interfere with any vehicle or operations in the facility; and a plurality of remotely-controlled motorized supports mounted on said support wires, wherein each of said plurality of motorized supports is adapted to move along a corresponding one of said support wires, and be stopped and locked into place at any point thereon; each motorized support supporting at least one wireless access point device or antenna in electronic communication with a wireless network; one or more of said motorized supports further supporting at least one remote-controlled security camera configured to be rotated, turned, and/or moved to record video and/or pictures of areas in or adjacent to the facility; wherein the plurality of motorized supports when stopped and locked are positioned to ensure optimal wireless network coverage in the facility; and wherein at least one of said one or more of motorized supports with at least one remote-control security camera automatically follows and monitors a customer moving to and entering a vehicle in the facility. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the motorized support is a motorized trolley. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the motorized trolley comprises one or more wheels. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the motorized support with at least one-remote control security camera automatically continues following the customer and vehicle as they drive through and exit the facility. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, wherein the plurality of motorized supports are configured to move along the corresponding support wire to various positions within a facility to provide a wireless network therein. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system of claim 5, wherein the wireless network is adjustable by movement of one or more of said motorized supports with accompanying wireless access point devices or antennas along said support wires. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein one or more support wires support two or more motorized supports. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein each support wire comprises a first end point and a second end point. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein one or both of the end points are removably attached to a structural support by a connector. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the structural support is a wall, a pole, or a tower. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one security camera support by one or more of said motorized supports. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the motorized support is integrated with said at least one wireless access point device or antenna.
