Farmers encouraged to secure their farms with solar-powered CCTV system
8th October 2024
BarleyGroupCloud and Hikvision have joined forces to create a solution for securing remote areas with solar-powered security systems.
The companies said that protecting rural sites has long been a difficult balance between efficient deployment and consistent coverage.
A spokesperson for the partnership added: “In the past, surveillance technology was primitive in comparison to the advancements made in industries such as agriculture and construction.
“Modern day problems require modern day solutions, and that has been the vision for BarleyGroupCloud since day one: providing small to medium sized enterprises with the tools they need to develop, nurture and thrive.
“Now partnering with Hikvision and their new range of solar cameras, rural defence has never looked this good.”
Reimagining surveillance
Hikvision experts explained that the main barrier when it comes to CCTV deployment in the countryside is terrain.
Rural sites include forested areas, water features, varied topography, and at times are located within great distances from main power networks or cities.
Often a trade-off needs to be made between protecting farmers’ properties and having a low footprint/keeping cost to a minimum, the company added.
BarleyGroupCloud said that thanks to the great minds at Hikvision, this is no longer an issue.
“With built in solar technology, 4G connectivity, high-definition video and flexible installation, your site can be protected in a matter of minutes.
“The devices themselves contain a built in SIM slot for wireless connections and remote access. The panel itself powers the unit during the day and the integrated, long-life battery, allows the unit to remain active 24/7, rain or shine.
“Additionally, unlike similar products, these models come with IP67-rated protection, allowing them to withstand any and all weather conditions, ensuring year-round protection and reliability.
“On top of everything, the installation process is as simple as choosing and spot and mounting the bracket. This could be an outbuilding, trees or any structure you like, with no need for running expensive cables or installing additional infrastructure.
“Then, you can access the camera feed directly from your smartphone or computer from anywhere in the world, at any time. Simple, efficient and reliable,” the experts added.
