Agriculture Farms Grain & Storage

Wide open, far from power, and worth stealing

Agricultural operations spread across acreage with limited power and connectivity, storing equipment, inputs and product that are valuable and easy to move. Conventional building security has almost nothing to say about it. DWG helps operations secure sites that were never designed to be secured.

Power and connectivity decide what's possible

The first question isn't which camera. It's whether there's power and a signal path at the point you need to see, and what it costs to create one.

We evaluate solar, cellular and wireless options against the actual site, specify equipment rated for outdoor agricultural conditions, review bills of materials by area — yard, storage, shop, entrances — and confirm what can be monitored remotely versus what needs local recording. How the work gets done is shaped around you: we can coordinate with the integrator or contractor you already use, bring the right integration and field resources in ourselves, or anything in between — whatever the project needs.

How we engage

The greatest opportunity to improve a project exists before anything is purchased. We support every phase — the earlier we're involved, the more value we add.

1. Plan

Requirements, constraints, budget and timing.

2. Evaluate

Comparison across manufacturers, integration with what's installed, cybersecurity review.

3. Specify

Specification assistance, BOM review, value engineering, lifecycle costing.

4. Procure

Quoting, availability, lead times and supply-chain flags.

5. Deploy

Coordinated delivery and deployment, with the resources managed as one project.

6. Support

Technical support, spares and refresh planning.

Questions we help you answer

Most suppliers focus on selling products. We focus on helping you make an informed decision — and these are the questions worth settling first.

  • Is there power and signal where we need to see?
  • What can solar and cellular realistically support?
  • What protects equipment and inputs in open storage?
  • Can we monitor this from the house or the office?
  • What survives outdoors here year-round?
  • How do we cover entrances to a property this size?
  • What happens when connectivity drops?

Answered early, these prevent the expensive corrections that surface once equipment is on site.

Vendor-neutral technical expertise

DWG works across a broad portfolio of leading security manufacturers. Rather than promoting a single product line, we help you evaluate qualified solutions on the criteria that matter.

  • Lifecycle cost
  • Budget alignment
  • Future scalability

Resource coordination

  • Work with the integrator or contractor you already use
  • Bring in integration, field and engineering resources where you need them
  • Product, engineering and deployment coordinated as one project
  • Shaped around what the end user needs, not a fixed model
