Solar-Powered AI Security Deployed
Cloudastructure has deployed solar-powered, off-grid AI security enclosures in multiple states. The solution is designed to protect critical infrastructure in the renewable energy and industrial sectors where traditional power sources may be unavailable.
- The global market for AI in physical security is projected to grow from USD 5.71 billion in 2025 to USD 10.98 billion by 2031. This growth is driven by the need to analyze massive volumes of video data that are inefficient for manual monitoring. - Cloudastructure's founder, Rick Bentley, previously founded a company acquired by Uber and served as a full-time advisor to Google X. The company's CTO, Gregory Rayzman, was the CTO of TheFind, which was acquired by Facebook in 2015. - The company's AI-driven platform has a 98% proven success rate in deterring incidents before they occur. It processes over 9 million video clips daily, using a "human-in-the-loop" system where human operators verify AI-detected threats. - This recent multi-state deployment is for a national construction firm, with enclosures being placed in Illinois, Ohio, and Maryland to protect facilities that include a manufacturing plant for a well-known food brand. - In 2025, Cloudastructure reported a 270% increase in revenue, with Q1 2025 revenue alone growing 212% year-over-year. The company also secured its largest contract in its history in the luxury multifamily sector during that time. - The market for off-grid remote power systems, which is essential for this technology, is forecasted to reach $2.42 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.0%. - To accelerate adoption, the company offers a financing partnership that removes the high upfront costs of security modernization for its clients. Its platform is also "camera-agnostic," allowing businesses to preserve their existing hardware investments. - While the solar-powered enclosures target infrastructure, a major part of Cloudastructure's client base includes six of the top ten property management firms in the United States.
