TOUGHDOG Security: Safeguarding Remote Areas with Renewable Energy

Utilizing the boundless potential of renewable energy, modern surveillance solutions offer a double delight–championing sustainability and providing security to remote areas. Property owners in remote zones tackle logistical and cost challenges when considering conventional power for security solutions to secure premises.

TOUGHDOG Security bridges this gap with a sustainable alternative.

Drawing from a decade of experience in security solutions, TOUGHDOG provides easy-to-install solar solutions to secure homes, construction sites, parking lots, and areas like parks, runways, and tracks where official surveillance may be limited or power supply is challenging. These solutions can provide power, seamlessly integrate a camera system, and utilize a 4G router or satellite internet to enable remote access.

“Our standout feature is harnessing renewable energy and battery storage to operate surveillance systems, providing clients with both security and peace of mind,” says Jorge Diaz-Gonzalez, CEO, TOUGHDOG Security.

Three of its core products have gained significant popularity among its clientele. TDSB 35 is a compact unit featuring a 60-watt solar panel and a 35 amp-hour lithium-ion battery enclosed within a mounting bracket. This unit can be easily affixed to a pole or securely bolted onto a wall, with the added flexibility of adjusting the panel’s angle to align with the sun’s specific position or seasonal variations. It can power a single camera along with wireless transmitter operations, providing self-sustaining solutions for surveillance.

As a top-selling product, TDSB 80 stands out due to its distinctive capability of simultaneously powering 2 to 3 cameras plus TOUGHDOG’s own solar-compatible 4G router or point-to-point transmitter. With dual 60-watt solar panels and an 80 amp-hour lithium-ion battery, the unit offers robust performance. It is equipped with a NEMA box, facilitating secure connections, especially crucial for linking multiple cameras.

Designed for simplified installation and transportation, the third piece of equipment, TDMTT, features an impressive 9600-watt battery bank. Complementing its power reserve, it has three 300-watt solar panels, which precisely match the energy requirements of both the battery bank and the connected cameras. The device is highly customizable, permitting the installation of a range of security devices or features, including PTZ cameras, fixed cameras, two-way speakers, deterrence strobes, and sirens. Despite its multi-functionality, this unit can be swiftly deployed by a single individual. Catering to a diverse range of client needs, TOUGHDOG offers renting and leasing options on this product.

The Police Department at Mercedes, Texas, has effectively deployed three of these trailer surveillance units to combat illegal dumping and enhance border security. The equipment endured the rough terrains they were taken through, and upon arrival at the deployment site, the solar panels extended, the mast rose, and with the flick of a switch, the units sprang to a fully operational one. The police department’s satisfaction with these units testifies to their effectiveness, prompting repeat purchases and recommendations to neighboring departments.
TOUGHDOG already has an extensive client base for its solar solutions, including a wide array of security dealers and installers, as well as several trailers deployed at various construction sites for large names like Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. However, the company has set sights on achieving nationwide recognition and has successfully expanded its presence into several states of the US and has established a network of distributors in various regions.

To ensure the uninterrupted year-round operation of the surveillance solutions, TOUGHDOG conducts calculations based on the day with the least sunlight in South Texas, where its offices are located. This calculation serves as the foundation for designing the security systems that guarantee reliable operation across all 365 days. Additionally, it provides specialized calculators to dealers to precisely configure solar panels according to the camera requirements, ensuring optimal performance and energy sustainability.

Apart from solar surveillance services, it also provides video monitoring services, LED displays and TDSS cloud services, touching all avenues of reliable and technologically proficient security systems.

Devoted to providing holistic surveillance solutions powered by renewable energy, TOUGHDOG is a reliable partner for those who wish to safeguard their premises and champion environmental responsibility.
