Off-Grid Security Monitoring for Remote & Powerless Sites
No power. No internet. No problem — solar-powered 24/7 surveillance that works where nothing else does.
Security Where You Need It Most
Your most valuable assets are often miles from the nearest power line. In the past, securing these locations meant expensive infrastructure projects or simply accepting a massive security risk. We believe your protection shouldn't be limited by your location. Our Off-Grid Solutions are engineered to provide the same high level of proactive protection you'd expect in the city, delivered right to the middle of nowhere. Whether you're protecting construction sites in Vancouver or energy sector facilities across Western Canada, our solar-powered systems deliver reliable live video monitoring with AI detection capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Want To Know
Get quick answers about how Secure Defence delivers off-grid security solutions that work anywhere, even in the most remote locations.
Off-grid means Secure Defence security system operates completely independently from the electrical grid and wired internet. It uses solar panels to generate its own power and cellular or satellite connections for communication, so you can secure locations that have no existing infrastructure.
The biggest benefits are avoiding expensive infrastructure costs like trenching power lines or installing internet services, rapid deployment in days instead of months, and complete independence from local utilities. You also get 24/7 protection even when the power goes out elsewhere.
Our systems are designed to run completely independent on solar and batteries, but they can absolutely work alongside a generator as a backup. Many customers use generators during extended bad weather periods to ensure continuous operation.
Our systems include large battery banks that typically provide 5 to 7 days of operation even with zero solar input. During Canadian winters, we oversize the solar array and battery capacity to handle extended cloudy periods. If weather lasts longer, the system can connect to a generator or we can add more battery capacity.
The core components include solar panels to capture sunlight, a charge controller to manage battery charging, lithium-ion battery banks for energy storage, and an inverter or DC power supply to run your cameras and equipment. We also include cellular modems or satellite communicators for connectivity.
We use lithium-ion batteries because they last much longer, charge faster, work better in cold weather, and require almost no maintenance. Lead-acid batteries are cheaper upfront but need regular maintenance, don't handle cold as well, and wear out faster, so lithium-ion saves money and headaches over the long term.
Yes, all our cameras and equipment are rated for outdoor use with IP67 or higher weather resistance. They're built to handle Canadian conditions including heavy rain, snow, extreme cold, and high winds. We test everything for durability in real Canadian weather.
Yes, all our cameras include infrared night vision for 24-hour monitoring, advanced motion detection to filter out false alarms, and HD video quality. They also connect to our AI detection system for smarter threat identification.
We calculate this based on your camera count, how many hours they need to run each day, and local weather patterns. During your site assessment, we'll measure your actual power draw and design a system with enough solar and battery capacity to handle your worst-case scenarios.
Installation is straightforward, our field team brings the complete Secure Defence mobile tower system on a trailer. Once on site, we set up the tower, mount the solar panels, connect the batteries, and position the cameras. Most installations take one day, sometimes two if the location is very remote or terrain is challenging.
Solar panels work best facing south with a clear view of the sky from sunrise to sunset. We avoid shadows from trees, buildings, or equipment. The panels tilt at an angle optimized for your latitude to catch maximum sunlight year-round, especially during winter when you need it most.
A typical 450W Secure Defence solar array generates around 1.5 to 2 kilowatt-hours per day in good conditions, enough to power multiple cameras, cellular connectivity, and LED lights continuously. We can scale up to larger arrays for higher power needs or locations with less sunlight.
Our standard Secure Defence battery banks provide 5 to 7 days of continuous operation with zero solar input. Larger battery systems can extend this to 15 days or more. The exact duration depends on how many cameras and how much equipment you're running, which we calculate during your assessment.
Yes, our systems include remote monitoring so you can check battery levels, solar generation, power consumption, and camera status anytime through our mobile app or web portal. You'll get alerts if battery levels drop or if there's any issue with the system.
Absolutely, our systems are modular and designed to expand. You can add more solar panels, increase battery capacity, or connect additional cameras. We design initial systems with expansion in mind, so upgrades are straightforward when your needs grow.
Maintenance is minimal, lithium-ion batteries need almost no attention, and solar panels just need occasional cleaning to remove snow or dust. Cameras may need lens cleaning. We offer maintenance packages where our team handles everything on a regular schedule, typically quarterly or semi-annually depending on your location.
Solar panels typically last 20 to 25 years with minimal degradation. Lithium-ion batteries last 10 to 15 years depending on usage patterns. Cameras usually operate reliably for 5 to 7 years before needing replacement. We use commercial-grade components built for continuous operation.
We provide comprehensive warranties including 25 years on solar panels, 10 years on batteries, and 3 to 5 years on cameras depending on the model. Installation work is covered under our service warranty, and we include ongoing support to ensure everything keeps working as expected.
