Smart Caddy · Remote edge solution

Smart Caddy: solar-powered edge intelligence for remote sites.

Smart Caddy brings solar and battery-backed power, compatible cameras, edge computing and secure connectivity together in one field-ready solution. It keeps essential monitoring close to site and prepares selected events and evidence for authorised Nvirosense™ workflows.

Smart Caddy outcomes

Go where fixed services do not

Place monitoring and security capability at entrances, fields, assets and infrastructure where dependable municipal power may not be available.

Keep decisions close to site

Run local device supervision and qualified NviroView™ processing on one protected edge computer instead of relying on continuous upstream video.

Bring the right context upstream

Connect approved device state, camera inventory and configured operational events to the appropriate Nvirosense™ workflow as each integration is commissioned.

One solution, clear responsibilities

Connected in the field. Deliberately separate in operation.

Smart Caddy packages the physical deployment. NviroEdge™ operates the local edge. NviroView™ provides the vision role. Nvirosense™ gives authorised teams the central Security and operational context.

  1. Smart Caddy

    The complete field solution: qualified solar power, protected battery distribution, cameras, connectivity and one edge-compute unit.

  2. One Edgebox / NviroView™ unit

    One physical computer inside the enclosure. Edgebox describes the appliance role; NviroView™ identifies its AI-vision role.

  3. NviroEdge™ software

    The local software layer for devices, cameras, networking, storage, system health, power visibility and resilient edge operation.

  4. Nvirosense™ workflows

    The central platform where authorised Security Vision, evidence, alerts and other operational views can be connected under approved integrations.

Security and Energy remain separate operational views

Camera events and evidence belong in Security Vision. Solar, battery and load state belong in the local NviroEdge™ power view and, where a central telemetry integration is commissioned, the appropriate Nvirosense™ Energy surface. One Smart Caddy can support both without merging their records or response rules.

Protected power and compute

One enclosure designed around the work at the site.

A qualified Smart Caddy configuration brings the battery, solar charge control, fused distribution, voltage conversion, connectivity and shared edge computer into one protected installation. Optional components such as PoE switching or an inverter are selected around the actual equipment and load.

Independent supply
Solar generation and battery storage support locations beyond dependable fixed power.
Protected distribution
Fused outputs and qualified voltage conversion supply the selected edge and camera equipment.
Local supervision
NviroEdge™ presents available controller, battery and load state with explicit freshness and unavailable conditions.
Site-specific sizing
Runtime depends on solar resource, battery, camera load, compute workload, connectivity and operating conditions.

Smart Caddy Vision

Turn remote cameras into useful operational context.

Compatible cameras connect to the shared edge computer, where NviroView™ can run qualified models close to site. Configured observations and selected evidence can then support authorised review without treating every detection as an alarm or sending every continuous stream to the cloud.

See

Use site-qualified cameras and viewpoints for the area that matters.

Process

Run qualified inference locally for the selected model, resolution and frame rate.

Review

Present configured observations and selected evidence to authorised users.

Respond

Create a Security Event only when an approved rule and workflow interpret the observation.

From site to response

Keep local operation resilient and central action intentional.

Each layer has a clear job, so temporary connectivity loss does not turn into lost local visibility and an AI observation does not silently become a physical command.

  1. Capture

    Receive camera, controller and supported field-device inputs at the site.

  2. Process

    Run qualified local camera and device workflows on NviroEdge™.

  3. Buffer

    Keep local state and timestamped records through intermittent uplinks where configured.

  4. Connect

    Use the commissioned secure bridge to exchange approved inventory and operational context.

  5. Review

    Give authorised teams the appropriate Security Vision, evidence or Energy view.

  6. Respond

    Apply configured acknowledgement, escalation or operational rules in the owning workflow.

Where Smart Caddy fits

A practical field layer for sites that need power, visibility and context together.

Farms and estates

Entrances, production blocks, pump sites, stores and other distributed points beyond dependable fixed services.

Remote assets

Utility, communications and operational infrastructure that needs locally resilient monitoring.

Perimeter and access

Qualified camera coverage for gates, boundaries and restricted areas with intentional event workflows.

Temporary or expanding sites

A configurable field platform where power, connectivity and monitoring requirements may change over time.
