Off-the-Grid Security for Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Properties

‍Summary

• A mobile security system relying on solar power can protect any outdoor space without damaging the surrounding environment.
• Off-grid solar security systems can protect remote locations, temporary sites, and the outdoor spaces of businesses while saving time, money, and environmental impact.
• Other eco-friendly features from LVT Units include remote monitoring, smart generators, and LED lights.

The push toward eco-friendly and sustainable practices has few downsides. This is the only world we have and we need to protect it as much as possible. But while we need to protect our planet, we also need to protect our own property.

It can be daunting to implement new security technologies and stay in line with eco-friendly principles, but it is possible to do both. Mobile security units relying on solar power offer the perfect off-grid security solution for businesses looking to keep their properties eco-friendly, self-sufficient, and sustainable.

Off-Grid Security: Why Would You Need It?

Solar-powered security systems operate independently from the power grid, meaning that even if the lights go out, the cameras will still be protecting your property. 

These off-grid solar security systems shine in a number of situations:

• Remote locations with no infrastructure
• Temporary locations like construction sites
• Businesses looking for maximum security with minimal environmental impact

Mobile security units (such as the one offered by LiveView Technologies®) are primed for rapid deployment and can be placed in just about any outdoor location. Since there’s no installation process, these units can be up and running as soon as you need them.

Off-grid security allows you to:

• Save time, because mobile security units can be deployed within minutes without the need for time-consuming infrastructure connections
• Save money, because the units don’t require costly infrastructure
• Reduce environmental impact, because the units use solar panels (so they don’t rely on traditional gas-guzzling generators) and leave no trace behind once they are moved to a new location

The Benefits of Solar-Powered Security Systems

As its name implies, solar power harnesses energy from the sun. As long as the sun keeps shining, this method of energy collection will allow for a flexible, reliable power solution.

Reliable

As Annie so memorably put it, “The sun will come out tomorrow.” And it will come out the day after that and the day after that. The sun is a reliable source of energy, even with mild disruptions like shorter days or overcast weather. (For areas with a history of severe weather or for units placed in habitually shady spots, LVT’s smart generators automatically pick up any slack.)

Flexible

Since each solar-powered security system is self-contained, it can be placed wherever, whenever. This means you can secure remote locations out in the middle of nowhere. It means you can get security to construction sites before any regular power connections go in. And it means you can adjust your cameras as needed without any hassle whatsoever.

Low Environmental Impact

You don’t need to disrupt the environment to protect your environment. LVT® Units don’t require infrastructure and therefore don’t damage their surroundings. When you’re ready to move them, they don’t leave any lasting trace behind. Furthermore, the use of solar panels removes the need to draw on the power grid or rely on traditional gas generators.

Sustainable Energy Source

Unlike fossil fuels, which are both limited and potentially harmful, solar power is unlimited and doesn’t affect much—if anything—in its collection. This clean, sustainable energy source will be around until the sun itself stops burning.

More Eco-Friendly Features from LVT

A good solar panel isn’t the only thing that marks LVT’s mobile security units as an eco-friendly choice; features like remote monitoring capabilities, smart generators, and LED lighting also contribute toward a greener future.

Remote Monitoring

One of the main benefits of mobile security systems is their remote monitoring capabilities. Remote monitoring allows you to take a proactive approach to security, helping to prevent issues and increase response times.

An added benefit of remote monitoring—particularly for remote locations—is the ability to check in on a property at any time without actually needing to drive there, saving on both time and fuel.

Smart Generators

As beneficial as solar-powered security systems are, sometimes the sun isn’t quite enough to guarantee 24/7 security. While LVT Units have solar power with batteries that allow the unit to keep running with less light, you don’t want to be without protection in the case of long periods of inclement weather or too much shade.

Enter the LVT® smart generator: This generator only kicks on in those instances where solar power isn’t enough. 

The LVT smart generator uses green fuel technology for better fuel efficiency, and outperforms traditional diesel-powered models on several fronts:

• No regular maintenance like oil changes
• Minimal fuel required (which also significantly decreases greenhouse gas emissions)
• Decreased noise
• Increased runtime

LED Lights

In order to offer an immediate response to detect security threats, LVT Units can be equipped with lights and loudspeakers. Using LED lights on the units lowers the energy usage of the lights and increases their longevity, something that perfectly aligns with eco-friendly values.
