Solar CCTV System for Contruction, Rail and Highways

Delivering Solar CCTV Sytems on highways with Kier.

Solar CCTV System

Clean Technology

Our systems run purely on solar and methanol power, save 8.4 tonnes of CO2  per unit and are 99% recyclable. 

Rapid Deployment 

Our systems are deployed and operational in under 45 minutes.

Highways Approved

The Solar CCTV  System is approved to operate on the UK Strategic Road Network.

Connected

We can stream live surveillance to any monitoring centre via 4G and 5G, Wireless & SD WAN Networks and Satellite.

Innovative Sensors

We only integrate advanced HD CCTV cameras, motion detectors and virtual trip wires.

HIGHWAYS SURVEILLANCE

Approved on the UK SRN, our technologies provide unrivaled HD surveillance.

STOPPED VEHICLE DETECTION

We integrate groundbreaking Stopped Vehicle Detection Software into our systems.

ANPR & AVERAGE SPEED DETECTION

We integrate highly accurate ANPR and average speed check cameras into our highways platforms. 

LANE INCURSION DETECTION

Our systems and cameras can detect vehicles encroaching into closed lanes. 

We were commissioned to provide Kier and Highways England with the Solar CCTV System to provide surveillance for a key carriageway for the NEC and Birmingham Airport. The project involved a number of key stakeholders from Highways England, Kier and Birmingham City Airport.

​

We designed, manufactured and deployed three Solar IP CCTV System (SICS) for Highways England in Area 9, which can be quickly and easily deployed to required locations and provide surveillance, particularly:

  • Where there are high traffic flows with congestion or queues

  • At interchanges with converging/diverging traffic flows

  • At locations such as tunnels where traffic congestion or accidents may create dangerous conditions

Each Solar CCTV System sends surveillance data via the integrated wireless access point or 4G network and onto Highways Agency Video Management System (VMS) via the internet. The new SICS system (Highways) includes:

  • IP Pan, Tilt and Zoom Camera (PTZ) and Wireless Access Point/s (150Mbps) or 4G

  • 500 – 640w Solar Array and 800Ahs Battery System

  • Transport base, telescoping outriggers and telecommunications cabinet

  • Telescoping stainless steel mast and 360-degree field of view PTZ bracket

  • Access to the surveillance stream can be provided to stakeholders via phone and tablet applications

 

Benefits

  • Full deployment of the Solar CCTV System in under 1 hour

  • Minimal groundworks, no hardwired power or data connections required

  • Can be easily redeployed to a new location and requirement

  • High-speed surveillance and data connections over 4G or free to air wireless networks

  • Powered by the solar array and advanced battery system, the Solar CCTV System is fully autonomous and saves around 6kWh every year, per device

 

Key Facts

  • Project of the Year at the Security and Fire Excellence Awards 2017

  • The Solar CCTV System was shortlisted for Product of the Year at the British Engineering Excellence Awards 2018

  • Commended at the Chartered Institute of Highways & Transportation Awards 2018 for Innovation with Kier Highways and Carnell

  • Highways England conducted a cost-benefit analysis comparing our system to a traditional hard-wired security system and estimated that our system provides in excess of £130,000 of savings per deployment

ZERO EMISSIONS

Our solar-powered systems are designed to produce zero emissions.

RECYCLABLE

Our design philosophy prioritises recyclability to ensure that our products can be easily recycled at the end of their lifespan.

CO2 SAVINGS

Each of our systems is capable of reducing 1 tonne of CO2 emissions annually.

FUEL SAVED

Compared to diesel-powered systems, our technologies enable an annual fuel savings of more than 1,000 litres.
