Cloudastructure Deploys Solar AI Security

- The solar-powered enclosures feature a 12-foot mast, dual solar panels, battery storage, dome cameras, and real-time audio deterrence, all connected to Cloudastructure's cloud platform. This setup is designed for off-grid locations, eliminating the need for fixed power or network infrastructure. - Cloudastructure was founded in 2013 by Rick Bentley and Glenn Forrester. The company's origins trace back to an incident where a laptop was stolen from Bentley's office, and the surveillance footage was unavailable because the system had been unplugged. - The company reported a 270% year-over-year revenue increase for 2025, with revenues exceeding $5.0 million. This growth was driven by new customer acquisitions and expanding deployments in sectors like multifamily properties, commercial real estate, and construction. - In addition to solar enclosures, Cloudastructure offers mobile surveillance trailers and has integrated autonomous drone technology through partnerships. This allows for remote guards to deploy drones for aerial monitoring of large sites. - The company's AI platform processes over 9 million video clips daily and has achieved a 98% success rate in preventing incidents before they occur. When the AI detects a threat, it escalates the event to a remote monitoring center for human verification and intervention. - Looking ahead, Cloudastructure plans to expand its presence in the transportation, logistics, and construction industries. These sectors are increasingly concerned with cargo and material theft. - The company's platform is designed to be "camera agnostic," meaning it can work with a client's existing camera hardware, reducing the initial cost of adoption. They also offer month-to-month contracts rather than requiring long-term commitments. - In late 2025, Cloudastructure opened its first global guard center in Kolkata, India, to support its remote monitoring and intervention services.
