Remote Security and Surveillance

Theft of equipment from buildings and sites is increasing. Insurance claims can be expensive. Every company should safeguard and protect their property from crime.

Solar-powered video equipment is well-suited for use in remote locations and hard-to-access places where utility grid electricity is not available. It provides a real-time visual image of industrial, commercial and municipal property such as roadways, parking, buildings, and equipment.

IP Video (Digital CCTV)

Digital CCTV systems are the digital version of traditional analog CCTV systems for surveillance and monitoring. IP (Internet Protocol) video systems can monitor remote areas, properties and equipment located anywhere in the world from a computer anywhere.

Our IP video systems integrate digital camera, wireless radio, and solar power to provide a unique and cost-effective solution for remote video security and surveillance.

Our systems use a self-contained wireless IP camera to convert analog video to digital data for transmission over a wireless IP network to a recorder. The virtual LAN (VLAN) configuration should conform to IEEE 802.1Q. A successful end-to-end business solution uses Quality of Service (QoS) network management to deliver required video performance.

Video management software on a personal computer manages the control, administration and viewing of the live camera feeds or recorded video over the IP network.

Common applications for solar-powered remote security and surveillance systems are:

Construction sites – Prevent theft of equipment and vandalism of property
Oil and gas – Pipelines, wells, pumping stations
Mines – Control site access. Reduce precious metal theft.
Forestry – Timber lands, water routes
Traffic and roads – Monitor busy or dangerous roads and intersections. Speed cameras. Toll booths.
Water treatments plants
Public safety – Crowd control
Homeland security
Military – Home bases, foreign bases, combat zones
Golf courses
Rare/endangered wildlife – Spot and monitor animals and herds

Advantages of Solar Power

There are many advantages to using solar electric power in remote, inaccessible or standalone applications:

Affordable

Off-grid solar electric systems are now price competitive with alternative energy sources, such as operating diesel generators or installing utility electricity, as measured by Dollars per kWh of energy generated.

Reliable

Unlike gas or diesel generators, or wind turbines, photovoltaic power systems have no moving parts and require little maintenance.

Flexible

Solar power systems can be designed in modules to meet specific requirements now. Add more capacity later with no equipment replacement as loads increase.
