No Power, No Internet, No Problem: Taking Security Off-Grid
In a perfect world from a security lens, every remote asset and location – from utility substations to greenfield construction sites to community trailheads – would have a reliable power drop and internet access. In reality, the lack of such infrastructure often leaves organizations in the dark when it comes to protecting vulnerable assets.
Securing off-grid locations has historically been a steep capital expense, involving time-intensive permitting, invasive construction and costly trenching. And then there’s the cost of managing any security system in a remote area: costly site visits to troubleshoot issues; rolling trucks to a site a few hours away just for a simple device reboot. Yet leaving these sites unprotected can lead to theft of equipment or machinery, vandalism and illegal dumping in public spaces, or liability issues. Verkada is closing the security gap with some of its newest innovations designed for hard-to-secure sites.
A better way is here
Picture this scenario with a legacy security system: It’s a Friday evening, 7pm. Somewhere far away, a security trailer goes offline. And someone has to cancel their dinner plans, get in a truck, and drive to the middle of nowhere just to flip a switch.
With a Verkada system, let’s say the same alert about an offline trailer comes through to a technician’s phone on a Friday evening. They see the trailer battery is fine, but its connection has become stale. They simply hit Reboot Device – the issue is fixed, and dinner goes on.
Rapid deployments. No trenching.
Verkada’s suite of products for off-grid locations can be deployed rapidly, and are designed to operate in areas without existing power or internet. With features such as built-in LTE connectivity, solar power, remote monitoring, and cloud management, these solutions are built to be plug-and-play:
CR63-E remote series camera: A truly autonomous powerhouse, perfect for quick deployments in remote locations. With built-in LTE and solar compatibility, it’s the fastest way to get eyes on a remote gate or trailhead.
MT81 cloud-managed trailer: The easy button for rapid deployments in high-impact or temporary areas. A solar-powered fortress with 360-degree coverage that supports PTZ cameras, talk-down speakers, and cellular connectivity. Watch the 3-minute demo.
GC31-E cellular gateway: Utilizes a cell network to create a secure, high-speed connection to the cloud for any Verkada device. Perfect for hard-to-wire sites with power but no internet infrastructure, providing secure PoE.
Together, these products offer a robust set of security solutions for off-grid locations, all managed under a single pane of glass within Command. And because everything is natively integrated, you can avoid the patchwork of third-party pieces: on the Verkada platform, receive proactive alerts on battery health, one-click remote device reboots, and automatic firmware updates.
