Sentrail.
Frame the night.
Sentrail puts a continuous amber line on every foot of your fence and AI cameras on every corner. When someone comes over, that stretch turns red, the lights come up and a live operator talks them down. It's 100% solar, so nothing gets trenched. Designed, installed and serviced by BONNEGARDE across Michigan, Illinois and Missouri.
Your fence line, lit and watching.
Sentrail turns the fence you already have into a monitored perimeter. A continuous amber line runs along the top rail all night. AI cameras watch every corner. When someone comes over the fence, only that stretch turns red, so they know they've been seen and so do we.
The fence line glows soft amber dusk to dawn, a clear sign the site is watched.
The AI cameras pick out people and vehicles and ignore wind, animals and headlights.
That zone turns red, the site lights go to full, and a spotlight lands on the intruder.
A live operator sees the clip and talks down through the pole speaker, then escalates if needed.
From dusk to alarm in 38 seconds.
The fence lights up at dusk, the cameras pick up a person, only that zone turns red, and a live operator talks them off the property.
Walk the site before we build it.
A 250' × 250' yard with Sentrail on all four sides of the fence and two camera poles. Switch between day, night and an alarm, and add the base glow option.
Three parts. Nothing in the ground.
Everything mounts to your existing fence or stands on its own ground screw. No trenching, no saw-cutting, no waiting on the utility.
Four zones, one per corner
Each 180° camera covers one corner zone: half an end fence and half a side fence. When it sees someone, the solar units in that zone switch the rail to red. The rest of the site stays amber.
- 8 solar units, each powering 125' of rail
- 2 poles on the center line, evenly spaced, splitting the yard into thirds
- One LTE connection to live monitoring
LED neon on the top rail
Weatherproof silicone LED neon clips onto your existing top rail, angled toward the street. It glows soft amber all night and switches to bright red in an alarm. A matching base glow on the bottom rail is available as an upgrade.
Small, independent, on your fence
A compact panel and heated lithium battery banded to a line post. Each unit lights 62.5' of rail in each direction and runs on its own, so one damaged unit never takes the whole perimeter down.
20' of eyes, light and voice
Two 180° AI cameras back to back, two solar site lights, alarm spotlights and a talk-down speaker, all on one pole set on a helical ground screw. No concrete.
Start with the perimeter. Add on from there.

Solar Powered Lighting
Site lighting for lots, yards and drives, and landscape lighting for homes and grounds. No trenching and no power bill.
Pick the light for the job.
Solar Site Lighting
Pole-mounted LED lighting for paved and unpaved sites, where trenching is expensive or there's no power at all.
- Parking lots, storage and equipment yards
- Entrances, drives and gate areas
- Motion dimming and dusk-to-dawn schedules
- Camera-ready poles
Solar Landscape Lighting
Low-maintenance solar lighting for walkways, gardens and building faces, with no wiring run back to the panel.
- Path and walkway lights
- Uplighting for trees, columns and signs
- Driveway and entry markers
- Accent lighting for patios and grounds
Dead lot lights? Don't dig up the concrete.
When underground wiring fails — or you need new lights where there's never been power — trenching through a paved lot costs a fortune and shuts the site down. Solar poles go up where you need them, run themselves dusk-to-dawn, and never add to your electric bill.
- Turnkey: site walk, photometric layout, bases, poles, fixtures, commissioning.
- Your choice: pay in full, 50% at signing with the rest monthly, or straight monthly. See plans
- Smart controls: motion dimming, dusk-to-dawn and adjustable run schedules.
- Camera-ready poles so lighting and security share the same structure.
- Multi-site rollouts — we travel for portfolios across state lines.
Where solar lighting wins
- Saw-cut & trench concrete
- Lot closed during work
- Ongoing power cost
- Same failure risk later
- No trenching
- Minimal downtime
- $0 power bill
- Each pole independent
Temporary solar lighting & camera pedestals
Construction sites, laydown yards, events and anywhere power isn't available yet. Self-contained solar units that light the area and keep eyes on it — then move when the job does.
Get on the List- Construction & jobsite lighting
- Equipment and material laydown yards
- Temporary parking & events
- Theft-prone or remote areas
- No generator, no fuel, no cords

- Power, conduit and low-voltage done in-house
- Solar-powered gate options where there's no power at the entrance
- Entry logs and cameras at the gate so every visit is on record
