Thinking of installing a surveillance system but your site is located off the grid? A lot of people may think that just because they do not have the same infrastructure as what they have in the city, deploying a surveillance system in a remote area may not be the smartest idea due to antiquated source of power supply, lack of relevant devices, costly installation and maintenance. Nevertheless, with the advent of continuous innovation and development in technology, intelligent solutions are gradually emerging to make sure that any area, whether on-grid or off-grid, is not left behind. One of these solutions involves harnessing solar energy, which is one of the predicted technology trends for 2022.
Challenges
Deploying outdoor surveillance monitoring in an off-grid scenario could be very challenging compared to its conventional counterparts. Installation of traditional outdoor surveillance requires laying large cables and setting up stable networks, which areas off the grid might not be able to accommodate.
An off-grid monitoring scheme often involves solar panels and wireless transmission technology to do the trick. However, doing so comes with hefty costs in installation and maintenance. Every device must be installed independently, and the whole system lacks basic maintenance feature, making it impossible to be operated remotely and generate on-site fault data in time.
So here’s where Dahua comes. With its accumulated experience in technology and innovation over the years, Dahua has developed an integrated off-grid security solution that ticks all the boxes for an effective and efficient monitoring of scenarios beyond the power grid lines.
The Dahua Integrated Off-grid Security combines 4G network transmission technology, video surveillance (including AI functions), and solar power technology to build an integrated off-grid monitoring system. It is suitable for areas with no access to electricity and network connection.
This solution includes a solar module primarily made of monocrystalline silicone with aluminum alloy frame and tempered glass panels. It offers excellent weak light performance and outstanding solar cell efficiency.
Advantages
With the integrated components clearly stated above, the benefits of this solution need no further explanation. It doesn’t require extra cables for network and power connection as it is equipped with a robust solar panel and a built-in 4G module that enables stable wireless transmission of data. Its sophisticated and integrated design significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs. Its high ingress protection ratings ensure that all parts of the equipment are well protected and can withstand all-weather operation. When connected to Dahua NVR and DMSS mobile app, users can view real-time videos of the monitored scene and check battery status, allowing for remote system monitoring and maintenance. They can also receive alarm push notifications when the battery level is low or when intrusion has been detected. Overall, all of these advantages contribute to the entire system’s excellent monitoring performance in off-grid environments.
