The Best Off-the-Grid Home Security Tech for Cabins, Camping and Home Generators

Whether you're camping, equipping your getaway cabin or just switching to a money-saving, off-the-grid lifestyle, home security remains important. But since lots of home security needs Wi-Fi or wired connections, how should you choose home safety tech? Read more: Is a Home Generator Purchase Worth It? We Break Down the Costs and Benefits As part of my years of reviewing home security tech, I've noted the best devices that work off-grid, so you don't need the internet or a connection to a larger electrical grid to use them. That includes solar-powered cameras, battery-powered smoke detectors and other examples of the latest tech. Here's what I found. 1. LTE or cellular security cameras Reolink and other brands offer powerful LTE cameras that don't require Wi-Fi or cables. CNET/Reolink If your off-grid location has a cellular internet connection, consider an LTE or cellular camera. These use a cellular data connection like smartphones do, typically 4G although 5G is around the corner for these cams. Because the spread of cell towers is so complete, it allows the camera to find a signal and supports app operation and live video viewing everywhere but the most rural of places. These cameras tap into existing wireless plans from providers such as T-Mobile and Verizon so they aren't difficult to get working. On the other hand, you may still need to pay a subscription plan to unlock cloud storage and using too much data could lead to extra fees or data throttling, depending on your plan. Even without a plan, you'll need to invest in ongoing prepaid SIM cards to keep the camera operational, so it's a little like having a subscription. Two of our favorite LTE cams are the Arlo Go 2 ($250) and the Eufy 4G Starlight ($130). The Reolink Go is also a popular choice for more adventurous security camming. Finally, for long-term cabins and similar spots, you can install a power over Ethernet, or PoE camera, which uses a cable connection to a modem or router instead of relying on signals. The Lorex Fusion 2K IP Cam ($400) is an excellent option, while those looking for something more affordable may be interested in this currently under-$100 Swann Home Security model. 2. A wireless local storage camera Using a camera with local storage is another way to skirt the need for strong Wi-Fi. Lorex Not everyone wants to be online, especially in light of security issues and even unauthorized camera use by strangers. Big brands like Amazon, Wyze, ADT, Eufy and Philips have seen data breaches and vulnerability issues in the past. Some have recovered more gracefully than others but internet security remains an ongoing concern. Don't forget legal methods of accessing your security camera data, like the nebulous world of police requests that bypass owners entirely. If that's ringing your alarm bells, many security cameras offer local storage in the form of microSD cards, which can hold large amounts of data -- more than 1TB if you don't mind spending. The problem is that most of these cams, including some models on our lists, offer local storage alongside Wi-Fi and you can't really use those cameras without the internet. Fortunately, there are exceptions that are perfect for security off the grid. One is Lorex, which offers home security systems that use microSD local storage and also support an Offline Mode to stay entirely internet-free. This won't work with single Lorex cams set up with the app; you'll need to adopt a full Lorex Smart Home Security Center. You'll also lose features like remote viewing, automatic updates and weather updates but you'll have a serviceable home security camera solution with no internet involved -- which isn't easy to find these days. Another local-only choice could be trail cams offered by brands like Wosoda These camouflaged cameras are more suited to actual trails, although you can recruit them for home security if you'd like, especially in remote cabins. While camouflage may be attractive to some buyers, it's useful to make security cams obvious so potential trespassers know they're being recorded. 3. Power cams with solar panels Solar panels help the camera battery last much, much longer in the right position. Eufy Today's security cam batteries can last for many weeks or even months and some, like the Blink Outdoor 4, can last for more than a year, but it's important to get as hands-off as possible (especially if you're relying on generator power). For that, we recommend adding a solar panel to power your off-grid camera. Solar panels connect directly to a camera battery and charge it back up when exposed to the sunlight. That helps batteries last much longer without needing attention. Lorex, the brand we mentioned above, sells solar panels for its local storage cameras, making it a great choice to equip with solar power. We'll also give a nod to Eufy, which supports local-storage-only cameras and installs solar panels directly into models like the S230 ($200), making mounting cams much easier. Other brands like Reolink, Tapo and more also offer solar panel additions for their cameras, so you have plenty of options. 4. Solar motion detectors Solar motion detectors can sound sirens or flash lights when people draw near. CNET/Usiako Motion detectors are traditionally part of online home security systems that aren't really designed for full, off-the-grid use unless you want to invest heavily in a cellular system. Even then, their models aren't intended for outdoor use. There's a simpler solution that's ultra-easy to set up. You just need to find a solar-powered outdoor motion detector. These solar detectors are affordable and easy to mount or just stake into the ground in a spot that gets plenty of sun and can monitor a porch or pathway. This version from Tuffenough ($47 for the set) has a set of three LED panels to shine on when it detects motion, plus a remote control. This option switches on a loud siren when anyone approaches and this detector from Royelle ($27) can switch on a strobe light and a siren, all powered by the sun. 5. An offline DVR security system If you want zero internet connections, you'll have to look for a digital video recorder system that doesn't need to be online. Zosi/Amazon More traditional security systems provide a bevy of cameras and a recorder device loaded with storage and ready-to-receive video feeds. It's a little cumbersome but keeps you clear of Wi-Fi and can support many cameras at once for large spaces or multiple angles. If you want zero internet connections, period, you'll want a DVR, or digital video recorder system that doesn't need to be online. This Annnke 8-cam system ($260) is internet-free if you don't use the app for remote viewing, while this Zosi 4-cam/8-channel system is available for about $110 with local recording only, although you'll need to buy a DVR-compatible hard drive first. Always look at the details with these recorders and expect a bit of tweaking to get the exact zero-internet setup that you want. 6. Affordable battery smoke detectors Find an easy-to-install wireless smoke detector. Chris Monroe/CNET No off-the-grid spot is complete without a smoke detector to notice fire problems before they start. Wireless, battery-powered smoke detectors that you can put anywhere work best and they can be affordable, too. You can find a six-pack of smoke detectors for about $50 with adhesive backing to stick anywhere. Or, you may want to spend the same amount to get a single voice alert detector for smoke and CO. Focus on models that provide audible alarms with long-lasting batteries (at least several years). App alerts may be great but they are typically relegated to Wi-Fi-connected smoke detectors that work best in a hardwired setup. What about connecting your security camera to a hotspot on a phone or laptop? A hotspot can help in a pinch but it's not a sustainable fix in the absence of Wi-Fi. Nelson Aguilar/CNET Connecting to a hotspot created on your phone or laptop is an option if you can't rely on a Wi-Fi network via a router but we don't recommend it for a few reasons. First, you'll have to go through the connection process for each new hotspot, which can be a headache and may require you to wipe old settings on your security camera. Second, those hotspots can quickly drain battery life, even if you're only using a security camera for an evening of camping. That creates additional complications when you need to save your battery for photos, video or all those shows you preloaded. Third, hotspots are short-range, so you would need to keep a phone or computer close to the security camera all the time, which isn't usually feasible. That's why this method didn't make our list of solutions. Looking for more alternative home security setups? Remember, with the right app you can use an old smartphone as a security camera to save money. You may want to take a look at our guide on where you should never install home security cameras.

Tampa General Hospital enhances security with CLEAR identity platform

CLEAR and Tampa General Hospital (TGH) have announced a partnership for the integration of CLEAR1, CLEAR's biometric identity verification platform, into TGH's identity access management system (IAM), PingOne DaVinci. The integration automates password reset for TGH hospital staff, replacing manual help desk processes with biometric verification. This partnership aims to strengthen resilience against tactics such as social engineering, credential theft, and impersonation through deepfakes. TGH executive vice-president and chief digital and innovation officer Scott Arnold said: 'Partnering with CLEAR marks a pivotal step in our commitment to enhancing our team member digital experience and delivering the identity assurance needed in the current cyber threat landscape. 'Together, we're reducing friction and ensuring privacy is protected at every turn.' A joint case study details operational and security outcomes from using CLEAR1, including improved assurance that only authorised members regain access to systems, alongside efficiency gains in account recovery. Since its rollout, TGH has automated 80% of account recovery requests, cut multi-factor authentication reset times from 4.5 days to 20 minutes, and reduced account-related support calls by 22%. The integration also replaced the hospital's 90-day password reset cycle with biometric multi-factor authentication. The deployment, embedded within Ping Identity's PingOne DaVinci platform, required no custom development and was completed in under three weeks. Staff identities are verified using a government-issued ID and a selfie during initial setup, creating a privacy-protected identity for future use. TGH intends to extend CLEAR-powered identity verification to patient-facing systems, including Epic MyChart, to support secure digital access across clinical workflows. CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker said: 'CLEAR is proud to bring our secure, trusted identity platform into TGH's security ecosystem. 'With our multi-layered approach to identity, we help organisations protect against today's cyber threats while giving healthcare professionals a faster, easier way to get back to caring for patients.'
