Agricultural and rural sites present unique security challenges. Farms often cover large areas, assets are spread across multiple locations, and many critical areas sit far beyond the reach of mains electricity or fixed broadband. From protecting machinery and fuel stores to monitoring livestock and remote access routes, visibility is essential, yet traditional surveillance systems are often impractical to install.
Uniview's Solar Products are designed specifically for these environments. By combining self-sustaining solar power with 4G-connected cameras, they deliver reliable video surveillance without the need for grid electricity or wired internet connections. This makes them particularly well-suited to, but not limited to, farms, rural estates and agricultural land where infrastructure is limited or non-existent.
Built for Off-GridThe Uniview SLR-R320G60-H-M-IN is a dedicated solar power solution engineered to support security equipment in off-grid locations. It enables cameras and associated devices to operate independently of mains electricity, removing one of the biggest barriers to surveillance deployment across agricultural land. The system combines a high-efficiency solar panel with an integrated lithium battery to provide continuous power through day and night cycles. Intelligent power management protects the battery from overcharging, deep discharge and temperature extremes, while the integrated heating function supports eligible operation during colder rural winters. It 'surable, weather-resistant construction is designed to withstand the exposed conditions often found across farmland and open countryside. For agricultural sites, this means surveillance can be deployed at field boundaries across roads, isolated barns or equipment yards without trenching power cables for disrupting land use. |

4G Smart SurveillanceThe IPC2A12LP-ADF40KC-4G-E enables a bullet camera designed for locations where fixed broadband is unavailable. Instead of relying on a wired network, the camera uses a mobile SIM card to transmit video and alerts directly over the 4G cellular network. This allows farmers and landowners to monitor sites remotely without installing broadband infrastructure. High-definition imaging ensures clear identification of people, vehicles and activity, while dual-light technology supports colour footage in low-light conditions common during early mornings and evenings on farms. Integrated two-way audio enables live voice warnings, helps deter trespassers or responds quickly to unexpected activity. The camera also supports local storage, ensuring footage remains available even if mobile connectivity is temporarily interrupted. When powered by the Uniview solar system, the camera operates as a fully self-contained surveillance solution, requiring neither mains electricity nor a fixed internet connection. |

Advantages of Solar-Powered Surveillance
Solar-powered 4G surveillance provides benefits for agricultural environments. Systems can be installed quickly without the need for electrical or network cabling, significantly reducing installation time, cost and disruption to daily farming operations. Cameras can be positioned exactly where they are needed, including remote or previously unprotected areas.
Remote access allows farmers and owners to check live video, review incidents and receive alerts without travelling across large sites, saving time and improving response to theft, trespassers or animal welfare concerns. Designed for outdoor use, Uniview's solar solutions are built to handle changing weather conditions and long-term exposure common across rural locations.
Remote Monitoring Through Uniview Apps
In Agricultural sites with the Uniview solar power range installed, users have access to Uniview's mobile application, allowing them to manage surveillance systems from anywhere. Live and recorded video can be accessed via smartphones or tablets, while event notifications provide instant awareness of activity on-site. Installer-focused apps also support remote configurations and diagnostics, helping ensure systems remain operational without unnecessary site visits.
For large or multi-site this remote management capability is particularly valuable, allowing centralised oversight of cameras spread across a wide rural area.
Alternative Use Cases for Uniview Solar-Powered Cameras
The Uniview Solar-Power range is well-suited to a wide range of environments where access to main power and fixed broadband is limited or unavailable.
- Construction sites benefit from rapid, cable-free deployment to monitor equipment, materials and site access during both active work and out-of-hours periods. Infrastructure projects such as roadworks, utilities and rail maintenance areas can also use solar cameras to provide temporary surveillance without disrupting existing services.
-
Remote industrial sites, including quarries, depots and storage compounds, can use solar-powered cameras to monitor assets and deter unauthorised access in locations far from permanent utilities. Vacant or partially developed land is another common application, allowing landowners and developers to maintain visibility and reduce the risk of trespassing or fly-tipping.
- Uniview’s solar cameras are also effective in public and environmental spaces such as parks, nature reserves and coastal areas, where running power or network cabling may be impractical or restricted. Temporary events and pop-up locations, including festivals, car parks and seasonal attractions, can deploy these systems quickly and relocate them as layouts change.
Because the systems operate independently of fixed infrastructure, coverage can be adapted easily as site requirements evolve, making Uniview’s solar camera range a flexible solution for both short-term and long-term security needs across multiple sectors.
Videcon Support
Videcon supports agricultural customers by helping identify the most suitable Uniview solar and 4G solutions for each site’s layout and security requirements. From advising installers on camera placement to supporting set-up, commissioning and ongoing technical assistance. We help ensure systems perform reliably in real-world farming environments.
With experience supporting off-grid and rural deployments, we are committed to providing the reassurance that agricultural surveillance systems can be installed correctly and supported long-term.
Conculsion
Agricultural sites require security solutions that work reliably without relying on traditional infrastructure. Uniview’s Solar Products meet this need by combining renewable power, 4G connectivity and intelligent surveillance into a fully independent system that does not require mains electricity or fixed broadband.
With solutions such as the SLR-R320G60-H-M-IN solar power system and the IPC2A12LP-ADF40KC-4G-E camera, supported by idecon’s expertise, farmers and rural landowners can protect assets, monitor activity and maintain visibility across their land with confidence, wherever it is needed most.
