Civil projects are time sensitive and span large, remote areas. Keeping them secure is essential, but hard. Solar CCTV Towers solve that.

What is a Solar CCTV Tower?

A standalone unit that uses solar energy to power surveillance cameras, analytics, and communications. Designed for mobility and harsh conditions.

How Solar CCTV benefits civil engineering sites:

  1. Protects remote assets
    Ideal for rural bridges, highways, or utility work. No power needed, just daylight.
  2. Reduces operating costs
    No diesel = no refuelling = big savings.
  3. Speeds up deployment
    Deployed within 60 minutes. No trenching or mains supply needed.
  4. Supports compliance
    Environmental and CDM regulations are easier to meet with low-impact security.

How to choose a provider:

  • Experience: We’ve protected HS2, Network Rail, and major infrastructure.
  • Technology: We offer AI cameras, remote alerts, and HD footage.
  • Support: 24/7 monitoring, UK-based, remote assistance within minutes.
