Permanent Surveillance. Zero Utility Bills.
Complete solar powered camera systems arrive out-of-box ready -- solar plant, cameras, wireless communications, video management, edge computing, and storage. Designed for months or years of autonomous operation at sites where running power is not an option.
Your site needs continuous surveillance -- not for a week, but for months or years.
The Problem: It sits far from the nearest power grid. Running electrical service costs $15,000-$50,000 per mile of trenching and takes months of permitting. Generators consume 0.5-1.5 gallons of diesel per hour, creating ongoing fuel costs and a maintenance burden. Battery-only systems require service visits every few days. You need power that sustains itself.
Why It Matters: Fuel theft alone costs the oil and gas industry $133 billion annually. Copper theft at substations causes widespread outages and costs U.S. businesses $1 billion per year (NICB/DOE, 2024). Every day without continuous coverage is a day your assets are unprotected -- and with only a 15.9% property crime clearance rate (FBI UCR, 2024), recovering losses after the fact is unlikely.
The RadiusVision Approach
RadiusVision's solar powered systems are complete, self-contained surveillance platforms. Not a solar panel bolted onto a generic camera kit -- a fully integrated system engineered by our in-house team for your site's specific latitude, weather patterns, and camera power requirements. Every system ships out-of-box ready with solar power plant, cameras, wireless communications, video management software, edge computer, and storage included. Pair with RadiusVision's professional 24/7 monitoring for complete managed security.

4-Step Configuration
Select Your Solar Plant
Choose the power platform that matches your site conditions and deployment requirements.
Fixed Pole Mount
Permanent installations at fixed locations. Maximum solar efficiency with optimized panel angle for your latitude.
Skid Mount
Relocatable — no foundation required. Move the entire system to a new site when the project phase shifts.
Containerized Microgrids
Maximum power capacity for multi-camera, high-draw configurations. Self-contained power plant in a ruggedized enclosure.
Select Your Cameras
Match the camera to the coverage requirement.
Fixed Camera
32x motorized zoom for focused, high-detail coverage of specific areas. Ideal for chokepoints and entry corridors.
Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ)
Reads license plates at 1,200 feet. Full 360-degree rotation with auto-tracking. The workhorse for wide-area surveillance.
360-Degree Camera
Fixed panoramic view combined with PTZ detail. Cover the entire perimeter from a single mounting point.
Determine Wireless Communication
Select connectivity based on your site's location and cellular coverage.
4G LTE / 5G
Cellular connectivity for sites with carrier coverage. Fastest deployment — activate and stream.
Point-to-Point Wireless
Line-of-sight bridge for extending connectivity to remote cameras. No monthly data fees.
Satellite (Starlink)
For the most remote sites with zero cellular coverage. High-speed video streaming truly off-grid.
Add System Components
Every system includes the processing and storage backbone.
Video Management (VMS)
Spectrum IPVMS or IP Configure Orchid Hybrid. Centralized video management with remote access and playback.
Edge Server
Small form factor PC with 2TB SSD for on-site recording and analytics. Operates independently of network connectivity.
Storage
Local recording with cloud redundancy. Footage is preserved on-site and backed up remotely.
AI Analytics
Object detection, behavior analysis, and automated alerts. Reduces false alarms and accelerates response.
Features
Out-of-Box Ready
Every system ships fully programmed, documented, and tested. Solar plant, cameras, communications, VMS, edge computer, and storage -- all integrated. Includes training and remote setup support.
Self-Sustaining Power
High-efficiency solar panels charge deep-cycle battery banks during daylight. Intelligent charge controllers manage power automatically to maintain uninterrupted operation through cloudy days and short winter daylight.
PTZ Reads Plates at 1,200 Feet
Pan-tilt-zoom cameras with 32x motorized zoom deliver the detail you need at distance. Read license plates at a quarter mile. Auto-track targets across your site perimeter.
Satellite Connectivity Available
Starlink integration for sites with zero cellular coverage. True off-grid surveillance with high-speed video streaming -- a capability RadiusVision offers that no competitor in this segment matches.
Custom Engineered for Your Site
RadiusVision sizes every solar array and battery bank for your specific geographic coordinates, elevation, and weather patterns. Not a generic kit -- a system designed for your location. In-house engineering and assembly since 2009.
Complete Managed Security
Pair with professional 24/7 monitoring and ongoing technical support. RadiusVision's revenue model is built on keeping your system running -- hardware, monitoring, and support as one managed service.

Use Cases
Remote Pipeline Monitoring
Monitor pipeline corridors, wellheads, and compressor stations miles from the grid. Solar systems deliver years of continuous coverage at sites too remote for any other power source. Fuel theft costs the industry $133 billion annually.
Construction Site Security
Long-duration projects where permanent power has not arrived. Solar outlasts battery-only systems without service visits -- deploy at project start and run through completion.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Power substations, water treatment facilities, and communication towers in rural areas. Year-round monitoring with zero utility dependency.
Mining Operations
Open-pit mines and remote processing facilities in arid, high-altitude environments -- locations where solar irradiance is high and grid power is absent.
Solar and Wind Farm Security
Protect renewable energy installations with surveillance powered by the same resource they generate.
We design, engineer, and assemble complete surveillance systems in-house — not resold off-the-shelf cameras on a pole. Every system is built for the specific conditions it will face.
