Learn why solar security cameras are a cost-effective, adaptable security solution.
Security threats can emerge in the blink of an eye, and they can come from just about anywhere. Where traditional, mounted security cameras can only capture suspicious activity within set bounds and are tied to the power grid, solar security cameras are a flexible and innovative solution to protect your business from threats, no matter the location.
Solar-powered security cameras are versatile, reliable, innovative, better for the environment, and better for your bottom line. Read on to discover how you can defend against dynamic threats, wherever they emerge, in a sustainable and efficient way.
Solar power is used for a wide range of purposes. Homes, camping equipment, and many businesses use this renewable and plentiful energy source as their main source of electricity.
Surveillance units powered by solar energy use solar panels to collect their primary charge; their batteries store extra power to sustain the unit when sunlight is low or obstructed, such as during nighttime or inclement weather. These mobile units feature powerful CCTV cameras and connect to a monitoring system for analysis and footage collection.
Solar surveillance units are becoming increasingly popular due to their many advantages over traditional security systems. With such a capable self-sustaining power source, a solar-powered unit does not need to rely on the local power grid and can therefore be used in remote areas and other hard-to-reach spots. When you choose solar-powered cameras, you also forego the hefty costs of installation and electrical rewiring that accompany traditional solutions.
Do all your property’s security threats emerge in the exact same spot, in full view of your cameras, without fail? No? You’re not alone—most businesses deal with dynamic dangers that change by season and circumstance. Traditional, wired surveillance systems aren’t always conducive to protecting against these changing risks; they’re static and unadaptable, and may not cover every problematic area on your premises as its needs change.
Solar energy allows your surveillance to work for you, adding a level of versatility unmatched by stationary cameras. These units can be placed in harder-to-reach areas, as well as at remote sites and in diverse environments, making them perfect for businesses of all kinds—from construction companies to sports arenas to residential complexes.
When you secure your premises with traditional methods, your security system is bound to your local power grid. Outages, disasters, and unreliable utility supply can cause blackouts in your monitoring, which in turn leaves your property vulnerable to threats. With solar-powered surveillance, however, you can count on consistent performance no matter the state of local power access.
Many solar surveillance systems, including those from LiveView Technologies (LVT), are powered by a built-in rechargeable battery. In addition to running the unit as it absorbs solar energy during optimal light conditions, this battery builds up a power reserve for low-light periods and nighttime, ensuring continuous security with no gaps, no matter the time of day or local weather conditions.
Solar-powered security systems are invaluable to not only the security of your premises but to your bottom line as well. When you deploy a solar-powered security system, you can save big on a variety of burdensome expenses.
Your electricity bill will be much more attractive, first of all, when solar panels share the load. Many solar-powered security systems, such as those from LVT, rely on solar energy with a battery as backup. In turn, these units use far less electricity than their wired-in counterparts on the market. This cost cut can be a significant benefit, especially in the long run.
Because solar-powered units require less electrical maintenance than traditionally powered methods, this can add to your savings. Your government may also incentivize using solar-powered equipment as a more environmentally friendly option; check for tax breaks and other rewards that may be available to your business.
Looking to go green? Solar surveillance systems are a simple way to make your business more eco-friendly—which will not only benefit the environment, but will also improve your company’s image.
Solar security cameras will help you cut down on your company’s carbon footprint. Decreasing your dependence on fossil fuels and the local power grid—even if it’s only for your surveillance systems—is incredibly beneficial for the environment, as you’ll also cut down on your greenhouse gas emissions and energy expenditure.
The sun is a potent, powerful, and plentiful resource. Solar energy is renewable and efficient, and solar-powered surveillance units require fewer component upgrades: That efficiency can help you cut costs and avoid expensive replacements. Their design and mobility also help reduce habitat disruption and equipment-related waste.
Along with solar-power capabilities, modern surveillance technology comes with a multitude of exciting features to enhance your security profile. LVT, for example, produces highly advanced systems equipped with motion detection, AI video analysis, deterrent floodlights and audio, and plenty of other customizable specifications.
Some traditional, wired cameras come with similar intuitive features; however, solar-powered units allow these features to be deployed anytime, anywhere. As security threats to your property change and evolve, your security system should do the same.
Solar-powered surveillance is the future. These camera systems are flexible, dependable, green, modern, cost-effective, and independent of fickle local power sources.
