02Solutions · Edge infrastructure
Remote site security.
Control points that keep watching, recording and analyzing when the grid drops or the link fails.
01Problem
No fiber. No stable power.
Remote roads, settlements and unmanned facilities sit far from fiber and reliable grid power. A camera without power records nothing, and a camera without a link reports nothing.
- 01Grid outages switch cameras off.
- 02Laying fiber to each point is slow and expensive.
- 03Unmanned sites have no one on hand to notice a failure.
02System · Edge infrastructure
Autonomous control points.
Edge infrastructure builds each control point to run on its own: cameras, edge analytics and local recording, powered by a battery and solar panels, connected by a wireless link.
Camera pair
Fixed overview camera and PTZ camera.
Edge processing
Analytics run at the control point.
Local recording
Video stays on site when the uplink is down.
Battery
An individual battery at each control point.
Solar panels
Energy independence at remote points.
Wireless link
Radio backhaul without trenching.

03Architecture
Power, process, connect.
Solar panels and a battery power the control point. Cameras feed edge processing and local recording; a wireless link carries events to the local control point when it is available.
04Capabilities
Built to stay operational.
Resilience
- Independent batteries
- A battery at each control point carries it through outages.
- Solar power
- Panels for energy independence at remote points.
- Local recording
- Video stays on site when the uplink is unavailable.
- Edge processing
- Analytics run close to the cameras.
Infrastructure
- Wireless communications
- Radio links that do not depend on local cable routes.
- Scalable storage
- Reference configurations keep 10 to 30 days of video. Capacity grows by adding drives.
- Autonomous remote sites
- Control points that keep working far from fiber and grid power.
05Operational workflow
Through an outage.
- 01
Normal
Grid power and the link are up; video streams to the control point.
- 02
Grid lost
The battery takes over and the cameras keep running.
- 03
Solar
Solar panels supply the control point in daylight.
- 04
Link lost
Video records locally and analytics keep running at the edge.
- 05
Restored
The link returns and operators review what happened.
06Deployment model
From survey to operation.
Remote sites are designed around their power budget and their link path before any pole goes up.
- 01
Assess
Solar exposure, power needs, link paths and site access.
- 02
Design
Battery capacity, panel sizing and storage retention.
- 03
Deploy
Poles, cameras, power systems and radio links.
- 04
Integrate
Connection to local and regional control points.
- 05
Operate
Monitoring, maintenance and system development.
07Integration
Part of one system.
- Video intelligence
Detection runs at the remote control point.
- Connectivity
Radio links between remote points and control rooms.
- Command and control
Remote events appear with the rest of the network.
- Video search
Local recordings stay searchable.
