Off-Grid & Remote-Site Video Surveillance
A gate, remote building or outdoor site may need cameras before conventional internet or utility power is available. Integrated Media Systems plans remote-site surveillance for properties in Northern Virginia and the surrounding region, matching the camera system to the location and operating requirements.
Outdoor recording and network equipment in McLean, Virginia. This installation uses utility power with battery backup; solar-supported systems require a separate design.
Separate the internet question from the power question
Some sites have power but no wired internet. Others lack both. We establish the available services, camera locations, access and required recording before comparing the practical options. Cellular communication or a suitable point-to-point link may be considered where the site supports it.
Define what the cameras need to capture
We review the view, lighting, mounting, distance and the detail needed for the task. Local recording, remote viewing and event notifications are separate requirements. The design identifies which functions need a connection and what remains available during an interruption.

Size power around the operating load
A battery or solar-supported system needs a site-specific power plan. Equipment load, seasonal conditions, shading, battery capacity and the required operating reserve affect the design. We assess those requirements before specifying equipment.
