Protect Your Remote Property with Solar-Powered Cellular Surveillance Cameras

Protect Your Remote Property with Solar-Powered Cellular Surveillance Cameras

by Security Consultant Pros

For ranchers with sprawling land, HOA/POA boards managing rural communities, homeowners in isolated spots and construction security or job site surveillance, securing property without power or internet is a challenge. Our solar-powered cellular security cameras meet that need. They operate on AT&T or Verizon networks, no Wi-Fi required, offering 4K resolution, remote access, and dependable performance for off-grid locations. Here’s what they bring to the table and how they work for ranches, rural neighborhoods, and remote homes.

Made for the Outdoors

A solar panel charges a sizable battery, removing the need for outlets or wiring. A cellular module connects via AT&T or Verizon for reliable coverage. With an IP66 weatherproof rating, they stand up to dust, rain, and temperature changes. Storage combines internal memory with a 256GB microSD slot, holding up to a week of footage depending on activity (No DVR/NVR needed).

Clear Night Vision

Where typical night vision falls short with blurry grayscale, ColorVu technology uses an F1.0 lens, a sensitive sensor with a built-in and adjustable LED floodlight to provide 4K full-color video in low light. You’ll see details like a person’s clothing or a vehicle’s markings—handy for ranchers monitoring livestock for predators, HOAs checking entrances and parks, or homeowners watching their property line.

Steady Power and Connection

The battery keeps going for days without sunlight, lasts longer with motion-triggered recording, and recharges when the sun returns—built to handle cloudy spells. A dedicated cellular connection (4G LTE, with 5G options) delivers a consistent link in rural areas. It keeps you connected, no matter the distance.

Features That Make Sense

  • Simple Setup: Mounts on our steel poles—no need for power, internet lines or bridges.
  • Quality Video: 4K with ColorVu for sharp images day or night.
  • Storage Options: Internal memory starts recording (64GB), a 256GB microSD extends it.
  • Useful Alerts: Motion detection sends notices via Hik-Connect
  • Access Anywhere: Live feeds and recordings reach you over cellular, wherever you’re at.
  • Data Plans: We’ll help set up an AT&T or Verizon data plan depending on their coverage map.

Benefits in Action

  • Ranchers: A stranger crosses your 1,000-acre ranch. You capture them in 4K color, save the footage, and get an alert to step in before they’re gone.
  • HOA/POA Boards: From a distance, you check the community gate. The video’s clear, the power holds—no need to head out there.
  • Rural Homeowners: Someone approaches your gate after dark. You see them in full color, get notified, and know your place is watched, even off-grid.
  • Construction & Job Site Security: Someone moves through your remote jobsite at night. You record them in 4K color, the footage is saved, and an alert lets you check in, wherever you are.

Why It’s a Solid Choice:

Remote properties can feel hard to protect—too spread out or too far off the grid. These cameras bring solar power, cellular access, and clear video to ranches, neighborhoods, homes, and jobsites where other systems falter. We provide the steel poles, connect it through Hik-Connect for access from anywhere, and tailor it to your setup. It’s security you can count on.

Why the Qolsys IQ 4 with PowerG is the Security Upgrade You Need Right Now

by Security Consultant Pros

If your security system’s feeling a little outdated—or you’ve been meaning to get one that actually works for you (or at all)—the Qolsys IQ 4 with PowerG might just be the answer. This isn’t your average alarm panel. It’s a sleek, powerful setup that brings top-notch protection and smart home perks together in one package. Here’s why switching to this system could be the best move you make for your home or business.

What’s So Special About the Qolsys IQ 4?

Picture this: a crisp 7-inch touchscreen that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to use, paired with PowerG wireless tech that’s tough to beat. The IQ 4 isn’t just about keeping intruders out—it’s about giving you control and confidence. With a built-in camera, QuadSound speakers, and a brain that ties everything together, it’s like having a security guard and a smart home assistant rolled into one. And with PowerG? It takes perimeter protection to another level:

  • Reach That Goes the Distance: PowerG sensors stretch up to 4,000 feet—way beyond what most systems can handle. Got a big yard or a detached garage? No problem, it’s all covered.
  • Locked-Down Security: With two-way encryption that’s practically unbreakable, your system stays safe from meddling, whether it’s hackers or signal glitches.
  • Long-Lasting Power: These sensors sip battery life instead of guzzling it, so you’re not constantly scrambling for replacements.
  • Sound That Packs a Punch: Four speakers mean alerts you can’t miss—and you can even play your favorite tunes through Bluetooth.

Toss in cellular primary connection with Wi-Fi backup, plus the magic of Alarm.com integration, and you’ve got a system that’s as dependable as it is clever. Both paired with an award-winning 5 Diamond Monitoring Company, Dynamark Monitoring. Dynamark has one of the FASTEST response times in the industry.

Still wondering if it’s worth the upgrade? Here’s why you should make the switch to the Qolsys IQ 4:

It’s Built for What’s Next
Old systems can feel like relics—spotty connections, no app access, constant headaches. The IQ 4 is ready for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s surprises, with updates that keep it sharp and PowerG tech that’s ahead of the pack.

Works With What You’ve Got
Already have sensors from brands like DSC or Honeywell? The IQ 4 comes in flavors that play nice with them, letting you ease into PowerG without starting from scratch. If you are already hardwired, you can use a PowerG Takeover Module to utilize existing working non-lifesafety sensors.

No Mess, No Fuss
Forget tearing up walls for wires. PowerG gives you hardwired reliability with a wireless setup that’s clean and quick—perfect whether you’re sprucing up an older place or settling into a new one.

Your Life, Your Control—with Alarm.com
The IQ 4 hooks up with Alarm.com, putting you in the driver’s seat no matter where you are. Arm it on your way out with a tap on your phone, peek at the built-in camera while you’re grabbing coffee, or tweak the thermostat from bed. Forgot to lock up? Alarm.com’s got your back with instant alerts and the power to fix it remotely. Add an extra touchscreen with the IQ Remote PowerG, and you’ve got control right where you need it—at home, away, or in multiple rooms.

Peace of Mind That Feels Real
Alarm.com lets you see who’s there and chat through the app. Pair that with PowerG’s rock-solid sensors, and you’ve got coverage that doesn’t quit—even in those hard-to-reach spots. Oh, and those smart notifications? They’ll ping you the second something’s up, so you’re never left wondering.

Who Needs This in Their Life?

  • Anyone With an Aging System: If your current setup’s stuck in the past—think false alarms or no smartphone tie-in—it’s time for a refresh. The IQ 4 makes security feel effortless.
  • Big Property Owners: That 4,000-foot range means nothing’s out of reach, from your front porch to the back shed.
  • Smart Home Fans: Love gadgets? With Alarm.com, you can sync your lights, locks, thermostat, and more into one smooth system. Imagine dimming the lights, locking the doors, and setting the alarm—all with one command from your couch or across town.

Why Alarm.com Takes It Up a Notch

The Alarm.com connection isn’t just a bonus—it’s a game-changer. It’s like having eyes and ears on your place 24/7. You’ll get real-time updates if a door’s opened, a window’s messed with, or even if the kids sneak in late. Plus, it ties your IQ 4 into a whole smart home ecosystem—think unlocking the door for a delivery guy while you’re at work, or setting “away” scenes that make it look like you’re home when you’re not. It’s security that doesn’t just sit there—it works with you.

Ready to Feel Safer while making your home Smarter?

Switching to the Qolsys IQ 4 with PowerG isn’t just about swapping out a box on your wall. It’s about getting protection that’s stronger, faster, and smarter.

Installing Security Cameras in Texas Requires State License

by Security Consultant Pros

Security Consultant Pros and its installers are licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau to install alarms, cameras and access control (License B18260). Many individuals aren’t aware that it is a Texas state law that requires alarm companies to have a “B” license to install cameras (which the State of Texas considers an alarm) or the company in violation faces up to a $10k fine per occurrence and the person hiring them can face up to a $10k fine per occurrence for hiring an unlicensed company to install security cameras (this doesn’t apply to installing your own cameras which is allowed). The state of Texas requires all camera installers to get licensed and insured with a background check to do their job and to include the company B license on all of their advertising. It’s under Texas Occupation code 1702.002 and you can check an individual or company’s license at https://tops.portal.texas.gov/psp-self-service/search/index
