No Power? No Internet? No Problem. Get Real-time Business Security Anywhere

Traditional business security systems rely on hardline internet connectivity, or at the very least, wireless connectivity via a Wi-Fi router. They also need a reliable power source, even if they include a battery-powered backup. However, it’s possible to have a modern security system without internet or hardline electrical connections.

Whether you want to improve parking lot security or need to protect a rural construction site, a no-power security system is the solution you’ve been looking for. Here’s what you need to know.

Why Traditional Security Systems Fail Off the Grid

Despite huge investments in internet infrastructure, nearly eight million U.S. households don’t have a reliable internet connection. If you are taking on a project or tasks with protecting a work site in one of these rural areas, traditional security cameras and monitoring solutions aren’t going to cut it. That’s because they need an Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi connectivity, and AC power.

Off-grid environments lack:

  • A router
  • Ethernet connectivity
  • Consistent power

However, you need consistent security, especially in the following environments:

  • Job sites under construction
  • Agricultural and rural business operations
  • Utility stations or telecom equipment yards
  • Parking lots without infrastructure

Relying on traditional security means gaps in your visibility, which leads to delayed responses or a total lack of deterrence. There is also an increased risk of theft and vandalism.

You can’t leave your site, equipment, or supplies unprotected. A security system without internet connectivity is the solution.

Can a Security System Work Without Power or Internet?

Yes, commercial property security solutions can function without the internet. A security system without internet uses the following to provide reliable connectivity in any environment:

  • Solar Panels: Capture and store renewable energy
  • Battery Backup: Maintains operation through cloudy days and nights
  • 4G LTE: Allows real-time communication without Wi-Fi
  • Local + Cloud Video Storage: No need for DVR/NVR on-site

The key is adopting a purpose-built solution. Attempting to retrofit a traditional security system to function without internet access or local storage can be costly and tedious. Choosing a platform that is already equipped with the hardware for cellular data connectivity and remote access is the far more pragmatic approach.

Deep Sentinel’s systems are designed to operate independently from local infrastructure. This gives you the freedom to deploy cameras and perform remote viewing with no Wi-Fi and no power over Ethernet (PoE) connection.

Deep Sentinel’s Mobile Trailers & Towers: Full Off-Grid Security

Deep Sentinel offers mobile trailers and towers that provide comprehensive off-grid security. These towable solutions deliver connectivity via a cellular network and provide power using solar power. They offer exceptional battery life for cloudy days and overnight functionality.

Here’s a closer look at what our security camera systems have to offer:

Deep Sentinel Mobile Monitoring Trailer

Our mobile surveillance trailer is a compact, towable unit that can be deployed in hours. The self-contained setup includes:

  • Solar panels
  • Battery backup
  • 4G LTE cellular connectivity
  • PTZ security cameras + IR night vision
  • AI detection + live guard intervention
  • Loud speakers + strobe lights for deterrence

Our solutions are ideal for:

  • Temporary sites
  • Remote construction zones
  • Equipment staging areas

With our solutions, you don’t have to worry about internet outages or hard-line connectivity. They are fully functional without an Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi network connection, or fixed power source. Instead, they rely on a non-Wi-Fi cellular network and solar panels. These outdoor security cameras capture high-quality video footage and send you notifications in real-time.

How surveillance trailers Work Without Power or Wi-FiTitle

Our off-grid surveillance trailers:

  • Operate via solar power
  • Use LTE
  • Verify threats in under 30 seconds with AI + live guards

You won’t have to invest time or money into trenching for hard wires or wait until there is reliable internet. Instead, our technology connects to a wireless network via an LTE cellular signal. As a hassle-free security solution, our towers and trailers are portable and easy to tow. Once placed, they can be set up quickly.

Need to reposition your security equipment after the job site expands? You can easily pack up and move the trailers or towers and position them in the new locations. You can also rent additional equipment as needed. Our flexible offerings are built to grow with clients.

Who would benefit from a Security System Without Internet or Power?

Any business that needs to protect high-value equipment, customer property, or materials would benefit from a security system that can function without internet or a traditional power source.

Our construction site security solutions are an excellent fit for construction site managers who are working in underdeveloped areas. They can deploy the trailers wherever they need and relocate them as the job site evolves.

Property owners who are managing vacant or underdeveloped land will also find these no-internet setups valuable. They can protect their property from trespassers without investing in electrical or internet infrastructure.

Our parking lot security solutions are ideal for commercial landlords with unlit or isolated parking lots who value the versatility of wireless security trailers. They can protect their customers or tenants from theft and burglary with high-quality cameras.

One of the emerging use cases is for maintenance teams who need to monitor substations or solar fields. These stations contain valuable materials that need to be protected from theft.
