Farms & Agriculture
Solar-powered CCTV, lighting and alarms for farms — covering gateways, fuel and machinery stores and remote outbuildings with no cabling, 4G where there's no broadband, and battery backup through the power cuts rural properties know all too well.
Rural crime costs the UK countryside tens of millions of pounds a year, and farms are squarely in the firing line: GPS units stripped from tractors, quad bikes and ATVs taken to order, power tools, livestock, and red diesel siphoned from tanks. The targets — fuel bowsers, machinery sheds, gateways and outlying barns — are exactly the places that sit furthest from the farmhouse, the mains supply and the broadband router.
Conventional mains-wired CCTV means digging cable trenches across yards and fields, an expensive and disruptive job that many farms simply never get done. And when the power drops — a routine event on rural networks — a mains-dependent system goes blind at precisely the wrong moment.
Solar CCTV and 4G cameras cover fuel stores, machinery sheds, gateways and remote barns with no cabling and no groundworks — each camera runs on its own panel and battery and signals over 4G where there's no broadband. Solar floodlighting lights the yard and approaches for free, and battery backup means the whole system keeps recording straight through a power cut.
Every activation pushes an alert to your phone, and clear, well-lit footage gives you something real to hand to the police or your insurer. It's security shaped around how a farm actually works — dispersed, off the mains, and a long way from the nearest cable.
Why farms & agriculture choose solar
- Covers remote outbuildings and gateways with zero groundworks
- 4G signalling for farms with no broadband
- Keeps recording through rural power cuts
- Deters GPS, quad, tool and fuel theft
- Usable evidence footage for police and NFU insurance claims
Farms & Agriculture security — common questions
Can you cover outbuildings a long way from the farmhouse?
Yes — that's the core advantage of solar security. Because each camera, light and alarm runs on its own solar and battery power and signals over 4G, there's no need to trench a cable back to the house. A barn at the far end of the holding is as easy to cover as the yard.
Our broadband doesn't reach the yard — does that matter?
No. We use 4G cameras and 4G alarm signalling for sites without broadband, so you get live view and phone alerts over the mobile network. Solar power plus 4G is what makes genuinely remote farm security possible.
Will it keep working in a power cut?
Yes. Rural power cuts are common, and mains CCTV goes down with them. Our systems are battery-powered with solar top-up, so they carry on recording and alarming when the grid drops.
