Watch Anywhere, Worry Less: Remote Camera Systems for Farms, Cabins, RVs, and More

Need to keep an eye on a remote property, mobile setup, or off-grid location? Whether you're managing a rural farm, checking in on a distant cabin, monitoring a job site, or securing your RV, you can now watch live or review recorded footage from anywhere—right from your phone or computer.

With our TCI Security services, we help you design and deploy surveillance systems that are as mobile or remote as your needs. Using reliable camera hardware, solar or battery-powered setups, and either local NVRs or secure cloud recording, you can get complete visibility even without traditional power or internet.

 

Situations Where Remote Surveillance is a Necessity

  • Agricultural land and ranches
  • Hunting lodges and vacation cabins
  • RVs and travel trailers
  • Construction sites and equipment yards
  • Boats, docks, and marinas
  • Remote utility infrastructure
  • Detached garages or storage buildings

 

Powering the System: Go Solar or Go Mobile

When power isn't available, a solar-powered camera system can run independently using:

  • Solar panels
  • A battery bank
  • A low-voltage camera system
  • Optional inverter (if AC power is needed)

 

These systems can run 24/7 with motion detection, smart alerts, and automatic cloud uploads—even miles from the nearest outlet.

 

Internet Options for Remote Locations

If you're in a location without standard internet, no problem. Here are common ways we help our customers get connected:

4G/5G LTE Cellular Modems

Great for RVs, farms, and job sites. Insert a SIM card and go live.

  • Works anywhere there's cell coverage
  • Perfect for mobile or seasonal use
  • Compatible with external antennas for stronger signal

 

Satellite Internet (Starlink)

Ideal for off-grid homes or ranches with no cellular coverage.

  • High-speed internet in remote areas
  • Works well with our cloud recording platform
  • Needs solar power due to higher energy use

 

Long-Range Wi-Fi Bridges

If you have internet at one structure but need cameras on another nearby building, we can bridge the gap wirelessly.

  • Point-to-point Wi-Fi up to several miles
  • Great for barns, gates, garages, or sheds
  • Cost-effective with no new cabling required

 

Store Video Where It Makes Sense: Local or Cloud

We offer two flexible recording options depending on your setup and preferences:

 

Local NVR Recording

  • Video is stored on a network video recorder at the property
  • Great for areas with stable power and internet
  • No monthly storage fees
  • Footage stays on-site and is accessed locally or remotely

 

Secure Cloud Recording

  • Video is securely uploaded to the cloud and available from anywhere
  • View live or recorded footage via mobile or desktop app
  • Ideal for locations without local storage or with unreliable power
  • Enhanced with AI analytics
  • Includes smart alerts, video clips, and event search
  • Works with 4G, satellite, and Wi-Fi

 

Both options support motion alerts, smart search features, scheduled recording, and multi-camera views.
