Integrated surveillance monitoring even in off-grid scenarios? Yes, it’s possible! The Dahua Integrated Off-grid Security solution combines 4G network transmission technology, video surveillance, and solar power technology to surveil areas with no access to electricity or network. Thinking of installing a surveillance system but your site is located off the grid? Yeah, that could be troublesome, and it tends to require a level of patience as long as the power grid line itself.
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 power sources, lack of device options, steep installation and maintenance costs, etc. Nevertheless, with the advent of continuous innovation and developments in technology, intelligent solutions are gradually emerging to

ensure that any site, whether on-grid or off-grid, is not left behind. One of these solutions involves the harnessing of 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 conventional town scenarios. Installation of traditional outdoor surveillance requires the laying of large cables and setting up of stable networks, which areas off the grid might not be so able to accommodate. An off-grid monitoring scheme often resorts to solar panels and wireless transmission technology to do the trick. However, doing so tends to come with hefty installation and
maintenance costs. Every device must be installed independently, and the whole system lacks basic maintenance features, making it impossible to be operated remotely while generating onsite fault data in time. So here’s where Dahua comes in. With its years of accumulated experience in technology and innovation, Dahua has developed an integrated off-grid security solution that ticks all the boxes for an effective and efficient monitoring of scenarios beyond the grid. What we offer “In some remote and outdoor locations where power and network conditions are limited, deploying a security system is always challenging – cumbersome wiring, long construction
