The word “sustainability” is thrown around a lot—so much so that it may seem like a buzzword. But the truth is that sustainability is becoming a crucial part of running a business.
Consider the following statistics:
- 67% of companies make an effort to use more recycled materials and lower-emission products.
- 57% have adopted energy-efficient, climate-friendly technologies like solar-powered machinery.
- 78% of customers want to buy from brands that prioritize environmentally friendly practices.
Businesses that embrace green practices align themselves with a growing consumer base that demands environmental responsibility. This shift isn't just about staying relevant; it's about being a part of a global movement towards a more sustainable future.
In an era where sustainability and environmental consciousness are at the forefront of our minds, finding eco-friendly solutions for everyday needs has become crucial. When it comes to security systems, solar power has emerged as a beacon of hope. Solar-powered security systems offer an innovative and sustainable approach to protecting your property while minimizing your carbon footprint.
In this blog post, we will explore the eco-friendly advantages of solar-powered security systems, including their reliance on renewable energy, reduced emissions, the fact that they leave no footprint, and more.
HOW OUR SECURITY SYSTEMS WITH SOLAR POWER WORK
Our surveillance units harness the power of the sun via solar panels. Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that absorb the sun's rays and convert that light energy into electricity. This energy is then used to charge batteries inside the LVT Unit, and the batteries power the cameras, lights, speakers, and other components of the unit.
The ability to pull power from the sun ensures a continuous, renewable power supply for each and every LVT Unit.
SOLAR ENERGY IS RENEWABLE POWER…WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Solar power is a renewable energy source. This means the sun will serve as an inexhaustible energy source for solar power systems over any relevant human time frame. In other words, solar power is not going to run out during your life, your grandchildren's lives, or even your great, great, great grandchildren’s lives.
Unlike fossil fuels that take millions of years to form, solar energy is renewed by the sun on a daily basis—and will continue to be for billions of years. In just one hour, the sun provides enough energy to power the electricity needs of every human on the planet for an entire year.
So while fossil fuel resources are decidedly finite and take millions of years to form, solar energy is, for all intents and purposes, an interminable and immediate resource.
ECO-FRIENDLY FEATURES OF OUR ENTERPRISE SECURITY SYSTEMS
The eco-friendly design of our mobile security units extends beyond just using solar energy. Here are a few more eco-friendly features of our units.
LEAVE NO TRACE
Traditional security units require heavy-duty installation—think drilling, cement pouring, wiring, etc. These installation methods often require extensive use of resources like water, electricity, and construction materials. All of this heavy construction work uses up a lot of energy and resources and can negatively impact the environment.
LVT Units, on the other hand, are incredibly easy to set up—no heavy-duty demolition or construction necessary. This means less environmental impact and minimal disturbance to local plant and animal life.
Even better news? Our solar-powered surveillance trailers are just as easy to take down as they are to set up. Unlike fixed security installations that can permanently alter landscapes, our mobile surveillance units maintain the integrity of their surroundings—they leave no trace. Once they’ve been moved, you’d never know they were there at all.
REDUCED MAINTENANCE NEEDS
Our solar-powered surveillance cameras are engineered for complete self-sufficiency—they come with their own built-in IT support. From the LVT Platform, you can monitor the health and performance of your units and receive instant alerts when maintenance or attention is required.
And because our units can be monitored remotely, there is less need for physical inspections. This means fewer trips to the site by maintenance crews, which in turn reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
SMART GENERATORS
While solar power is very reliable, sometimes, it just isn’t enough. In areas where sunlight is limited, such as northern cities that experience shorter daylight hours, or in locations where buildings, trees, or other structures cast significant shadows, we deploy units equipped with smart generators.
Our smart generators automatically kick into gear when sunlight isn’t enough to power a unit. They leverage green fuel cell technology, which makes them significantly more environmentally friendly than diesel-powered models, which emit carbon dioxide and other pollutants. They are also incredibly fuel efficient, which means fewer refills, reduced operational costs, and an extended lifetime of service.
CHOOSE LVT FOR SOLAR-POWERED SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
Embracing sustainability is more than a trend; it's a business strategy that aligns with consumer demands for environmental responsibility.
