Opting for solar power for CCTV cameras is one of the most eco friendly and cost effective decisions you can make as a construction site owner.

Find out here why solar CCTV cameras are rapidly growing in popularity and saving our valued clients money everyday.

How Does Our Solar Powered CCTV Work?

When it comes to CCTV, solar powered is the way forward. Our smart HD CCTV tower is a key solution to working towards a more eco conscious solution and all the while, keeping your construction site secure.

So, how does it really work?

Simply put, Solar-powered CCTV systems use solar panels to capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, which powers the cameras and other system components. 

This energy is then stored in rechargeable batteries, ensuring continuous operation even during low-light conditions, making solar-powered CCTV systems an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution for reliable security in remote or off-grid locations.

Our solar powered CCTV will run autonomously all year round with no need for a generator or mains power supply. We understand that it can be difficult keeping your construction project’s carbon footprint down, which is why many site operators are choosing to contribute with an eco security solution. 

The wireless CCTV solar powered tower uses the latest 24 hour colour view cameras with virtual detection and is remotely monitored by our in house CCTV control room

Once intruders are detected our SIA operators audio challenge and dispatch our local security response guards to site; the system is an ideal solution for construction and any project that wants to be more environmentally conscious while staying protected.

Why Choose a CCTV Solar Power System

Our solar powered security cameras are a complete rapid deployment solution so there is no need to be wasting any time on figuring out ways to install complicated wiring or systems that require an electrician on-site all day.

We understood that there was a key issue with the way security cameras required lengthy set ups, that is why we put the interests of the construction site manager first. We know the sheer investment a construction project takes, so why leave it vulnerable? 

Our systems don’t rely on traditional methods of operation, instead our 4K ultra wide angle camera is specifically designed for construction sites to provide optimum progress monitoring by harnessing the power of the weather.

With integrated 4G/5G, the solar towers system connects to the cloud so that we can ensure no downtime and provide web links for clients to monitor progress. The ease of use has never been simpler, so choose a CCTV camera solar powered technology for a reliable way of monitoring your site.

Benefits of Solar Powered CCTV Systems 

Solar-powered CCTV systems offer numerous advantages, from cost efficiency and environmental sustainability. Our top 3 key benefits that simply cannot be overlooked include, but aren’t limited to:

#1 Renewable Energy Source

Solar-powered CCTV systems harness renewable energy from the sun, significantly reducing reliance on traditional power sources such as fossil fuels. This not only helps lower electricity bills but also minimises environmental impact by cutting down carbon emissions. Solar energy is a sustainable and abundant choice, making it a dependable power source even in areas with limited infrastructure. 

#2 Versatile Design 

The versatile design of our solar-powered CCTV systems makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, particularly in remote or off-grid locations where access to conventional power is limited or nonexistent.

These systems can be deployed in construction sites that are within isolated environments without requiring significant infrastructure upgrades. Their self-sustaining nature and adaptability to diverse conditions, including extreme weather, ensure continuous and reliable operation, meeting the security needs of various industries with ease.

#3 Wireless technology 

Wireless connectivity in solar-powered CCTV systems offers a streamlined and efficient installation process. By eliminating the need for extensive cabling, these systems reduce setup time and environmental disruption.

This not only supports a cleaner and more sustainable approach to security but also ensures that the systems remain easy to manage and upgrade as needs evolve.
