Deploy Security Cameras Where You Need Them, Not Just Where Network Cables Can Reach
The Challenge: Expanding Video Surveillance Without Expanding Infrastructure Costs
For airports, municipalities, school districts, and large enterprises, video surveillance has become an essential component of protecting people, facilities, and critical infrastructure.
However, expanding surveillance coverage across large properties presents a familiar challenge: How do you connect cameras in locations where traditional network infrastructure is unavailable, expensive to install, or difficult to maintain?
Consider the challenges facing today's security and IT professionals:
-
An airport needs additional cameras along its perimeter, remote parking areas, or airfield support facilities.
-
A city wants to expand public safety surveillance into parks, intersections, pedestrian corridors, and public spaces.
-
A school district needs to secure athletic fields, parking lots, and remote campus facilities.
-
A large enterprise wants to monitor expansive industrial sites, warehouses, and outdoor operational areas.
Traditionally, these projects require installing fiber-optic cable, constructing underground pathways, obtaining permits, and coordinating construction activities that can disrupt daily operations.
But what if organizations could significantly reduce their dependence on new wired infrastructure while maintaining the security, performance, and centralized management required for professional video surveillance?
The combination of Axis Communications cellular-enabled camera technology and Ceragon private 5G wireless networking provides a compelling alternative.
At Teksys, we believe this combination deserves serious consideration by organizations planning their next generation of security infrastructure.
Introducing the AXIS TP3604-E Cellular Back Box
Axis Communications has introduced the AXIS TP3604-E Cellular Back Box, a solution designed to connect compatible Axis network cameras directly to a private cellular network.
Rather than requiring a dedicated Ethernet connection back to a network switch, the cellular back box enables compatible Axis cameras to communicate over an organization's private 4G or 5G network.
The solution supports:
-
AXIS P32 Series dome cameras.
-
AXIS P14 Series bullet cameras, using the appropriate adapter plate.
-
Private cellular connectivity using a SIM card.
-
Outdoor installations with IP66 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance.
-
Integration with compatible video management platforms.
-
Video streaming throughput up to 200 Mbps at the back box, subject to available wireless network capacity.
The device also incorporates Axis cybersecurity technologies, including secure boot, encrypted storage, and hardware-based security features.
For organizations operating in the United States, the AXIS TP3604-E US model supports the CBRS frequency bands B48 and n48, providing a potential path for deployment on compatible private cellular infrastructure.
The important advantage is installation flexibility.
Where suitable private cellular coverage and electrical power are available, security cameras can be deployed without installing a new fiber or Ethernet connection to each location.
For example, an existing light pole with appropriate electrical power could become a new video surveillance location without requiring a trench across a parking lot or roadway.
This approach opens new possibilities for expanding security coverage across large and geographically dispersed environments.
Why Pair Axis Cameras with a Ceragon Private 5G Network?
While cellular-enabled cameras provide the connection to the network, the underlying wireless infrastructure determines how effectively that connection performs.
This is where Ceragon's private wireless networking solutions become especially valuable.
Ceragon provides end-to-end private 4G/5G wireless solutions designed for organizations requiring secure, high-performance connectivity across large or complex environments.
Unlike public cellular services, a private cellular network is designed around the organization's operational requirements.
This gives organizations greater control over network coverage, connected devices, traffic management, security policies, and network performance.
1. Expand Coverage Without Extensive Trenching
Installing fiber-optic infrastructure across airports, municipal properties, and industrial campuses can be expensive and time-consuming.
Construction may involve excavation, pavement restoration, underground utility coordination, permitting, and interruptions to normal operations.
With a properly designed Ceragon private cellular network, multiple camera locations can communicate wirelessly through strategically positioned radio infrastructure.
This can substantially reduce the amount of new cabling required and make previously impractical camera locations more accessible.
2. Gain Greater Control Over Security Communications
Public cellular networks serve thousands of users, and organizations typically have limited control over network congestion, resource allocation, and service availability.
A private 5G network provides a dedicated environment where authorized devices can connect under organization-defined security and operational policies.
This is particularly valuable for public safety and critical infrastructure applications, where organizations want to maintain control over how surveillance information moves across their network.
Private SIM authentication, network segmentation, and appropriately configured encryption can help protect communications while supporting centralized network administration.
3. Support Reliable Video Surveillance Performance
Professional video surveillance places significant demands on network infrastructure.
Multiple high-resolution cameras can generate substantial upstream traffic, particularly when video is transmitted continuously to a centralized video management system.
A properly engineered private 5G network can prioritize critical applications, allocate network resources, and support predictable performance under planned operating conditions.
Unlike general-purpose wireless connectivity, a purpose-designed private network can be engineered around surveillance bandwidth, coverage, latency, and availability requirements.
Performance still depends on radio conditions, spectrum availability, network capacity, and traffic engineering, making professional system design essential.
4. Scale Beyond Video Surveillance
One of the most compelling benefits of investing in private 5G infrastructure is its potential to support applications beyond security cameras.
The same private network may also support compatible:
-
IoT sensors and environmental monitoring systems.
-
Operational communications and remote equipment monitoring.
-
Smart city and transportation technologies.
-
Connected industrial devices.
-
Emergency management and mobile applications.
Instead of constructing separate wireless systems for every new application, organizations can establish a shared communications foundation designed to support future requirements.
Real-World Applications: Where This Technology Makes Sense
Airports: Secure Large Properties Without Disrupting Operations
Airports present some of the most challenging environments for surveillance infrastructure.
Their expansive properties include airfields, perimeter fencing, parking facilities, maintenance areas, cargo facilities, and remote access roads.
Installing traditional network cabling in these locations can be complicated by construction restrictions, operational requirements, and the need to minimize disruption.
A Ceragon private 5G network combined with compatible Axis cameras can provide an alternative approach for connecting cameras in areas where network cabling is impractical.
Potential applications include perimeter surveillance, remote parking facilities, service roads, cargo areas, and temporary construction zones.
The ability to deploy additional surveillance locations using existing electrical infrastructure can be particularly valuable when responding to changing security requirements.
Cities and Municipalities: Expand Public Safety Video Coverage
Cities increasingly depend on video surveillance to improve situational awareness, support emergency response, and monitor public spaces.
However, public safety camera locations do not always align with existing municipal fiber networks.
Parks, intersections, pedestrian corridors, parking facilities, and other public spaces may be located far from available communications infrastructure.
Private 5G enables municipalities to consider a different approach.
Rather than extending fiber to every new camera, cities can establish private wireless coverage and connect compatible cameras wherever suitable network coverage and electrical power are available.
This approach can help municipalities:
-
Expand public safety surveillance more efficiently.
-
Connect cameras in parks and remote public facilities.
-
Reduce construction requirements at difficult locations.
-
Integrate remote camera feeds into centralized monitoring operations.
-
Establish communications infrastructure for future smart city applications.
For cities managing multiple departments and geographically dispersed assets, the ability to share a purpose-built wireless infrastructure may deliver significant long-term value.
Schools and Universities: Protect the Entire Campus
School districts and universities often operate facilities spread across multiple buildings, parking areas, athletic fields, and outdoor spaces.
Although many campuses have established network infrastructure inside their buildings, providing connectivity to outdoor locations can be significantly more challenging.
A private cellular network can extend communications coverage to areas that might otherwise require costly underground cabling.
Potential applications include:
-
Athletic stadiums and sports complexes.
-
Student and staff parking areas.
-
Remote campus entrances.
-
Bus transportation facilities.
-
Outdoor gathering areas.
-
Temporary buildings and construction projects.
For districts and universities with multiple surveillance expansion projects, private cellular technology offers an opportunity to evaluate a more flexible long-term network architecture.
It can also complement existing fiber and wireless infrastructure rather than requiring organizations to replace their current investments.
Large Enterprises: Improve Visibility Across Complex Facilities
Manufacturing plants, logistics centers, distribution campuses, energy facilities, and large commercial properties frequently need surveillance coverage across expansive outdoor environments.
These locations may include equipment yards, loading areas, remote gates, perimeter roads, and facilities where installing new communications pathways would interfere with operations.
Private 5G provides a potential solution for extending video connectivity without the limitations associated with deploying new physical cabling to every location.
For enterprise IT and security teams, the value extends beyond camera connectivity.
A private network can provide a common wireless foundation for security, operational monitoring, and future connected applications.
Private 5G vs. Fiber and Wi-Fi: Choosing the Right Technology
Private 5G is not intended to replace every wired or wireless network.
Fiber-optic infrastructure remains an excellent choice where high-capacity, dedicated connections are readily available. Wi-Fi continues to serve many indoor and localized applications effectively.
However, private 5G becomes particularly attractive when organizations need wide-area wireless coverage, controlled network access, and the ability to connect devices across large outdoor environments.
| Consideration | Fiber | Traditional Wi-Fi | Private 5G |
|---|---|---|---|
| New underground cabling | Often required | Not always required | Not required at camera locations |
| Wide outdoor coverage | Requires distributed physical infrastructure | Multiple access points may be needed | Designed for broad coverage |
| Mobility support | Limited | Available with appropriate design | Strong mobility capabilities |
| Dedicated network control | Yes | Yes, with proper configuration | Yes |
| Installation flexibility | Limited by cable pathways | Flexible within coverage | Flexible within cellular coverage |
| High-bandwidth performance | Excellent | Depends on design and interference | Depends on spectrum and capacity |
| Best application | High-capacity fixed infrastructure | Localized wireless connectivity | Wide-area and mobile connectivity |
The strongest architecture is often a hybrid approach, using fiber where it makes sense, private 5G where wireless coverage offers advantages, and existing networks wherever they can be leveraged effectively.
The Importance of Proper Network Design
Although the benefits of private 5G are compelling, successful deployments require more than simply installing cellular-enabled cameras.
Video surveillance is an uplink-intensive application. Network capacity must be evaluated based on camera resolution, compression settings, frame rates, expected traffic, and the number of simultaneous video streams.
Organizations should also consider:
-
RF coverage and interference analysis.
-
Spectrum availability and regulatory requirements.
-
Compatibility between camera cellular interfaces and private network equipment.
-
Power availability at camera locations.
-
Video management system integration.
-
Network security and authentication.
-
Redundancy and operational availability.
-
Long-term maintenance and support.
For example, the AXIS TP3604-E US supports specific private cellular frequency bands and standalone network modes. The selected Ceragon infrastructure must be verified for compatibility with these requirements.
Additionally, integrating cameras into an existing video management system may require defined IP addressing and network configuration rather than relying on traditional camera discovery protocols.
These considerations reinforce the importance of working with an experienced technology integration partner.

How AI Video Analytics Can Help Mining, Petrochemical, Energy, and Industrial Facilities Solve Problems Unique to Their Operations
Industrial facilities generate enormous amounts of operational data every day. Process control systems monitor pressures, temperatures, flow rates, equipment status, alarms, and thousands of other variables. Yet there is another source of operational information that many facilities already have deployed throughout their sites: video cameras.
Traditionally, those cameras have been treated primarily as security devices.
Artificial intelligence is beginning to change that.
Platforms such as ElectricEye can transform existing camera infrastructure into intelligent visual sensors capable of analyzing what is happening within a facility and identifying specific behaviors, conditions, and events that matter to operations.
Instead of asking, “What analytics came with this camera?” industrial organizations can begin asking a much more valuable question:
“What operational problem do we need to solve, and can our cameras help us detect it?”
That shift opens an entirely new category of possibilities for Process Control Engineers, Facility Managers, Operations teams, and Technology Managers.
From Video Surveillance to Visual Operational Intelligence
Most industrial facilities already have extensive instrumentation. PLCs, SCADA systems, DCS platforms, environmental sensors, access control systems, and other technologies provide critical information about the operation.
But traditional sensors only measure what they were designed and installed to measure.
A pressure transmitter knows pressure.
A flow meter knows flow.
A proximity sensor knows whether something crossed its detection point.
A camera sees an entire scene.
Until recently, extracting useful operational information from that video required a person to continuously watch it or review recordings after an event occurred.
Modern AI video analytics are changing that equation.
ElectricEye's Active Scene Intelligence™ is designed to analyze the context and behavior occurring within a camera scene rather than simply identifying motion or classifying individual objects. The platform can work with existing IP cameras and supported video management systems, with processing performed through its cloud-based architecture.
For industrial facilities, the important concept is not simply that AI can recognize a person, truck, forklift, or piece of equipment.
The real opportunity is teaching the system to recognize situations that matter to your particular operation.
Your Facility Does Not Have Generic Problems. Your Analytics Shouldn't Be Generic Either.
A mining operation, refinery, chemical plant, power generation facility, pipeline terminal, manufacturing plant, and bulk material facility may all use cameras.
But their operational challenges can be completely different.
This is where customizable AI analytics become particularly valuable.
Instead of deploying a fixed library of generic analytics, organizations can identify a specific operational condition and determine whether existing cameras provide enough visual information for AI to recognize it.
For example, an industrial facility might want to identify:
- A vehicle entering a restricted operating area while equipment is active.
- Workers entering a designated area without required PPE.
- Personnel approaching equipment during a hazardous operating condition.
- Trucks arriving at the wrong loading position.
- Vehicles remaining in staging areas longer than expected.
- Forklifts or mobile equipment operating in pedestrian zones.
- Material accumulating where it normally should not.
- A gate, cabinet, access panel, or equipment enclosure remaining open.
- Personnel crossing a defined safety boundary during an active process.
- Unexpected activity around remote infrastructure.
- A loading or unloading operation that appears to deviate from the normal sequence.
- Congestion developing around loading racks, gates, scales, or processing areas.
- Equipment or vehicles positioned somewhere they should not be.
The objective isn't to replace the facility's control systems.
It is to add another layer of operational awareness using visual information that may already be available.
A Different Approach: Start With the Problem, Not the Camera
For Process Control Engineers, perhaps the most interesting aspect of customizable video analytics is the ability to approach video much like another source of process information.
Consider a hypothetical bulk material operation.
The problem might be:
Trucks occasionally enter a loading area before the previous vehicle has completely cleared the operating zone.
A traditional video system records the event.
A basic analytic might detect that two trucks are present.
A customized behavioral analytic could potentially be designed around the actual operational condition:
Detect when a second vehicle enters the defined loading zone while another vehicle remains within the active loading position.
Now the camera isn't merely recording video.
It is effectively providing a new visual operational event.
That event could generate an alert, provide video evidence, and give operations personnel immediate context about what occurred.
This is where AI video analytics become much more interesting for industrial operations.
Mining: Seeing Operational Conditions Across Large Sites
Mining and aggregate operations present a particularly compelling environment for visual intelligence.
These facilities often combine enormous operating areas, heavy mobile equipment, haul roads, conveyors, crushers, loading zones, stockpiles, restricted areas, and relatively limited personnel coverage.
Customized analytics could potentially help monitor conditions such as haul-truck interactions, pedestrian proximity to heavy equipment, restricted-zone entry, loading activity, material movement, queue conditions, or unusual activity around remote infrastructure.
Instead of requiring operators to continuously monitor dozens of camera feeds, AI can watch for specifically defined conditions and bring the relevant event to their attention.
The camera network becomes another set of eyes across the operation, but eyes that never become distracted by the other 47 video tiles on a monitor.
Petrochemical Facilities: Adding Context to Complex Operations
Refineries, chemical plants, terminals, and petrochemical facilities operate under tightly controlled procedures where context matters enormously.
A person standing next to a piece of equipment may be perfectly normal during maintenance but unusual during another operating state.
A vehicle entering an area may be routine at 10:00 AM but significant during a transfer operation.
This is precisely why behavioral and contextual analytics are more interesting than simple motion detection.
ElectricEye describes its approach as analyzing the overall scene and relationships between objects and actions, allowing the platform to distinguish routine activity from conditions that warrant attention.
Potential applications could include monitoring PPE requirements, restricted operating areas, loading rack activity, vehicle movement, maintenance zones, perimeter conditions, access to remote equipment, or other visually identifiable operating procedures.
The goal is not another avalanche of alarms.
It is better context around the events that actually matter.
Energy Facilities: Extending Visibility to Remote Infrastructure
Power generation facilities, substations, renewable energy sites, pipeline infrastructure, compressor stations, tank farms, and other energy assets often include locations that are difficult or expensive to continuously staff.
Video analytics can provide an additional layer of situational awareness across these environments.
A camera that was originally installed for security might also help identify unauthorized personnel, unexpected vehicles, unusual activity around equipment, access to controlled zones, or other facility-specific conditions.
Because ElectricEye can connect with supported existing camera infrastructure rather than requiring an entirely separate sensor network, organizations may be able to extract additional operational value from investments they have already made.
Turning Existing Cameras into Multipurpose Sensors
This may be the most important concept for technology and facility managers.
Organizations have spent years installing cameras throughout industrial facilities.
Those cameras already have:
Power. Network connectivity. Field of view. Infrastructure. Maintenance processes.
Historically, their primary job was to record video.
AI creates an opportunity to make those same cameras perform additional jobs.
One camera might simultaneously contribute to:
Security: Is someone entering a restricted area?
Safety: Is a worker entering that area without the appropriate PPE?
Operations: Is a vehicle occupying the area when it should be clear?
Process improvement: How frequently does congestion occur at this location?
Management: Are recurring events identifying a larger operational bottleneck?
Suddenly, the ROI conversation around video infrastructure changes considerably.
From Real-Time Alerts to Operational Trends
The value of AI analytics doesn't stop when an alert is generated.
ElectricEye includes analytics capabilities for reviewing event activity, severity, camera performance, and trends over time.
For industrial organizations, aggregated information can sometimes be even more valuable than individual events.
Imagine discovering that a particular loading area generates three times as many vehicle conflicts as comparable areas.
Or that PPE exceptions repeatedly occur during a specific shift.
Or that a particular gate routinely experiences congestion between 6:30 and 7:15 AM.
Or that one operational zone produces a disproportionate number of safety-related events.
Those observations can move video analytics beyond incident response and into continuous operational improvement.
Process Control Engineers and Facility Managers can begin using visual data to ask:
Why does this keep happening?
And more importantly:
What can we change to prevent it?
Test the Analytic Before You Deploy It
Another important capability for industrial applications is the ability to test customized analytics against representative scenarios.
ElectricEye's platform includes simulated event testing that allows video to be analyzed using custom monitoring prompts before deploying the analytic into a production environment.
That creates an iterative engineering process:
Identify the operational problem → Define the desired visual condition → Test it → Validate the results → Refine the analytic → Deploy → Measure performance.
For engineering teams, this approach is far more useful than purchasing an analytic simply because it appears on a manufacturer's feature list.
The technology is being configured around the process rather than forcing the process to fit the technology.
AI Doesn't Replace Process Control. It Adds Another Instrument.
For Process Control Engineers, perhaps the best way to think about technologies like ElectricEye is not as another surveillance platform.
Think of the camera as a software-defined visual sensor.
PLCs, SCADA, DCS, historians, instrumentation, and conventional sensors remain essential to industrial automation.
AI video analytics can complement those systems by detecting something traditional instrumentation often cannot easily measure:
What is physically happening in the scene?
That distinction is powerful.
The future industrial camera may no longer simply answer:
“What happened?”
It may help answer:
“What is happening right now, does it match how our facility is supposed to operate, and should someone know about it?”
The Best Analytics May Be the Ones That Haven't Been Created Yet
Every industrial facility contains operational challenges that are so specific they may never appear on a standard analytics datasheet.
That is precisely where customizable AI becomes interesting.
Instead of searching for a product that already has an analytic called “Detect Our Very Specific Problem,” organizations can begin with the problem itself.
What visual condition would indicate that the problem is occurring?
Which cameras can see it?
Can AI reliably recognize it?
What should happen when it does?
That conversation can bring together Process Control, Operations, Safety, Security, IT, OT, and Facility Management around a common objective.
And sometimes the solution may already be looking at you from a camera that has been hanging on the wall for years.
Ready to Explore What Your Cameras Could Detect?
At Teksys, we believe the next generation of industrial video systems will do far more than surveillance.
By combining existing camera infrastructure with customizable AI platforms such as ElectricEye, mining, petrochemical, energy, manufacturing, and industrial organizations can explore new ways to improve safety, operational visibility, security, and process efficiency without starting with an entirely new sensor infrastructure.
The starting point is simple:
Tell us about a problem at your facility that you wish your systems could see.
We'll help determine whether your existing cameras and customized AI analytics can turn that problem into actionable information.
