Custom Power Solutions: Powering Surveillance Beyond Traditional Applications

Not every outdoor security project fits a standard solution. Some applications present unique challenges that require a different approach to reliable power. When traditional platforms are not a practical option, custom engineering can make all the difference.

That was the case with a recent project involving a barge that needed a reliable power solution for Verkada surveillance technology. Working alongside Nitor and Verkada, Sun Surveillance developed a custom Barge Sled platform designed to meet the project's specific requirements.

The Challenge: Reliable Power in an Unconventional Location

Providing power for outdoor security technology can become complicated when infrastructure is limited or the installation environment presents unique constraints.

For this particular project, the customer needed to power a Verkada bullet camera, gateway, and PTZ camera on a barge. Unlike a traditional security installation, where a pole or mobile surveillance trailer might be the ideal solution, neither option was suitable for this application.

The location and installation requirements called for a platform specifically designed around the equipment and environment.

The challenge wasn't simply finding a way to mount surveillance technology. It was developing a practical solution capable of supporting the equipment while providing the reliable power necessary for continued operation.

The Solution: Custom Power Solutions for 24/7/365 Security

With more than 20 years of experience developing outdoor power solutions, Sun Surveillance understands that not every project can be approached the same way.

Working with Nitor and Verkada, our team developed a custom Barge Sled platform tailored to the project's requirements.

Rather than adapting the installation to fit an existing trailer or pole, the platform was designed specifically for the application, taking into consideration the technology being powered and the limitations of the installation environment.

This approach allowed the team to develop a solution that addressed the customer's needs without relying on a conventional power platform.

The project is an example of how collaboration between technology manufacturers, integrators, and power solution providers can help overcome challenges that might otherwise limit outdoor security deployments.

The Result: A Solution Built for the Application

The custom Barge Sled provided a purpose-built platform for supporting the Verkada surveillance equipment in an environment where traditional solutions were not practical.

By engineering the platform around the requirements of the project, Sun Surveillance helped make this unique outdoor security application possible.

The project also highlights an important consideration in outdoor surveillance: selecting the right cameras and security technology is only part of the equation. The power solution must be equally suited to the application.

When these components are considered together from the beginning, even unconventional installation challenges can be approached with a practical, customized solution.

More Than Standard Power Platforms

At Sun Surveillance, we know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to outdoor security power.

For more than 20 years, we have worked with integrators and technology partners to develop power solutions for a wide range of applications. From our standard solar and AC platforms to fully customized projects, our focus remains the same: providing reliable power engineered around the technology, location, and requirements of each installation.

The Barge Sled project is just one example of what is possible when a standard solution isn't the right fit.
