Solar-powered cameras: monitoring off-grid and remote sites

Mainstream security assumes mains power and fast broadband. Out in the field — literally — you usually have neither.

Self-contained by design

A solar panel and battery keep the camera running year-round, including through British winters, while a 4G/5G link streams footage and alerts. No trenching, no fixed line, no fuss.

Only the alerts that matter

On-camera AI distinguishes people and vehicles from passing animals and moving branches, so you get the notifications that count — not a flood of false alarms.

Built for the outdoors

Rugged, weatherproof housings stand up to fields, woodland and coastline. Our RuralCam division is built around exactly this — deploy in minutes and relocate whenever you need to.
