A Solar CCTV Tower is a rapid-deployment security solution for remote or temporary sites. These standalone towers use solar panels to power high-definition cameras and advanced detection systems. Ideal for construction, highways, rail, and renewable energy projects, they offer 24/7 surveillance without needing mains power or fixed infrastructure.
What makes solar different?
Solar CCTV Towers are self-sufficient. They don’t need noisy generators or trenching for cables. This makes them faster and cheaper to deploy, especially where traditional power isn’t available.
They’re quiet, sustainable, and compliant with many environmental regulations. Each tower includes solar panels, battery storage, inverter and Victron portal to monitor the power levels remotely and panel directions.
Solar CCTV tower FAQs
- Can they run in winter? Yes, our towers use high-capacity batteries and with the Victron portal to monitor the power levels remotely and panel directions, they are very reliable in winter.
- Are they easy to move? Very. They’re designed for mobility and can be relocated as your project progresses.
- What makes our solar tower different from the competition? Our Solar CCTV tower is powered by 4 x 330w solar panels and 12 batteries. This ensures that our tower runs reliably in the winter winters without the need for charging or a hybrid power supply.
Staying legally compliant
Installing CCTV brings obligations under the Data Protection Act. SmartWatch ensures every tower complies, with signage, secure data storage, and privacy-compliant camera positioning.
