Sneak peek at 2025 Trends list: cameras in more (new) places

Surveillance cameras have often been impossible to place far from an existing power and network source. But now you can deploy rugged, AI-backed cameras, power them full-time with solar, and securely send video to a cloud-based VMS, from practically anywhere.

Construction sites

Construction is dynamic, so fixed installations don’t often make sense — camera views may need to shift daily or hourly. And the rough environment of a job site calls for tough cameras that don’t need additional power to run (or cables to tangle), and that can sort out false alarms from real ones even in a busy environment.

Parking lots

Wall- or pole-mounted cabinet systems put cameras where you need them — without the trailer eating up valuable ground space. No need to run power through your lot or fuel an always-polluting generator. Bonus: Use AI motion detection to spot unexpected traffic.

Farms and ranches

Camera systems that can stand up to weather and require minimal maintenance mean you don’t have to actually be in person to count livestock, spot-check irrigation systems, or check the status of farm equipment and operations. Assess storm damage, spot trespassers, or watch the fenceline virtually with line-crossing analytics.

Hiking trails and overlooks

Rugged outdoor spots don’t have to be out of sight — even when they’re a long hike from power or wired infrastructure. Solar-powered, wireless-connected cabinets put a discrete, nature-friendly eye out to help protect visitors and reject false alarms caused by animals or wind.

Playgrounds and parks

Vandal-resistant, always-on surveillance is exactly what public recreational spots call for. From pocket parks to sprawling golf courses, public facilities need cameras that can be viewed from a single interface. Better yet, ones that can automatically share video with emergency services in the case of a 911 call nearby.

Intersections and roadways

Busy, high-accident areas call for visual surveillance to spot dangerous conditions and keep a visual record in the event of a collision. With cabinet-based systems, those cameras can be deployed almost instantly, even to otherwise unreachable spots.

Temporary event spaces

From music festivals to polling stations, all kinds of crowded events take place outdoors or in temporary spaces where a permanent security infrastructure doesn’t exist or would be overwhelmed. Cabinet systems can be rigged quickly for an instant eye on the crowd, for security, and for event management.
