Case Study: Deveraux Developments achieves lower security costs and remote, solar-powered surveillance with Genetec Stratocast

Deveraux Developments reduces security costs with solar-powered Stratocast cloud-based surveillance system

Deveraux Development, a Regina-based multi‑family residential construction firm, was spending large sums on drive-by security guards yet lacked timely, reliable monitoring for remote and off‑grid sites. To solve this, they adopted Genetec’s cloud‑based surveillance service, Stratocast, combined with solar power and AXIS cameras to provide flexible, remote site visibility.

Genetec’s Stratocast was deployed in solar‑powered kits (Alpha Technologies panels, 4G LTE router, AXIS cameras), enabling cloud recording and remote access; three sites were outfitted in three days and the solar system provides five days of autonomy without sunlight. The Genetec solution reduced reliance on security guards and lowered costs, improved incident response via mobile alerts (preventing damage to site materials), enabled role‑based access and portability between projects, and minimized IT involvement.
