We examined CATA’s 4G solar powered cameras, 3D facial recognition smart locks and portable power supplies exhibited at ELES Expo 2026.
The Age of Cables in Security is Ending: 4G and Solar Powered Cameras
CT-4053 Solar SIM Card Camera, one of the most popular products of the CATA stand, takes security standards one step further. Unlike traditional cameras, it requires neither an Ethernet cable nor electrical wiring. Thanks to the solar panel on it, the device receives its energy directly from the sun and stores it in its internal battery with a capacity of 6,000 mAh. 4G SIM card support provides uninterrupted monitoring in areas where the Wi-Fi network cannot reach, such as vineyard houses, construction sites or large gardens.
Offering 3 MP Full HD resolution, this model is equipped with night vision and motion detection features. In addition, thanks to mutual audio transmission, users can communicate with the people in front of the camera via the mobile application. Although its competitors in this field, brands such as TP-Link Tapo or Xiaomi, have similar solutions, CATA’s combination of solar energy and 4G in a compact structure provides a significant advantage by reducing installation costs to zero.
3D Face Recognition Technology in Smart Door Locks
Security is not just limited to the outdoors; Home entrances are also digitalized with the CATA CT-4040 smart door lock. Featuring 3D facial recognition technology, this lock system turns your door into a smartphone with its 7-inch touch screen and integrated camera module. Users can choose any of the fingerprint, password, card or facial recognition methods. Thanks to the mobile application integration, you can see who is coming and control the lock remotely with the notification sent to your phone when the door is knocked. Against the dominance of global players such as Yale and Samsung in the smart lock market, CATA takes an assertive stance with its screened design and wide functionality.
Portable Energy: Etna 300W Power Supply
CATA Etna (CT-4041) portable power supply stands out for camping enthusiasts and those who want to take precautions against power outages. This 300 Watt device provides both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) output with lithium battery technology. With its 198.4 Wh capacity, the product can easily operate laptops, phones and small home appliances, and also serves as a powerful searchlight. Reaching a full charge in approximately 4-5 hours, Etna draws attention as a local alternative to portable stations offered by brands such as EcoFlow or Jackery.
Comfort and Lighting Together in Homes
CATA’s product range is not limited to just security and energy. The new generation plasma heaters and fireplace-like decorative heaters exhibited at the fair offer both aesthetic and functional solutions for the winter months. In particular, two-in-one products that combine both floor lamp and fan functions in a single body seem ideal for users looking for space saving and modern design. In addition, baby cameras developed for baby rooms, which can detect motion and establish two-way audio communication, aim to make parents’ lives easier.
These technologies exhibited at ELES Expo 2026 open the doors to a future where energy is used more efficiently and security is accessible at all times. With its expanding product range, CATA proves that it is not only a lighting brand but also a technology solution partner.
