CCTV tower hire for utilities and infrastructure works.
Substations, pumping stations, cable and pipeline works often have no power or network on site yet — a solar-powered tower covers the compound from day one, with no groundworks of its own.
High-value cable and plant, often unattended.
Cable theft, equipment left overnight, and compounds that sit unattended between shifts are the recurring problems on utilities and infrastructure works. The site usually has no existing power or network to rely on either — which rules out most fixed CCTV options before cost even comes into it.
Vigil 1000 — full solar, no mains dependency.
Where a works site has no power at all, the Vigil 1000's full solar setup and long-life batteries keep it running independently for extended periods. For shorter or better-serviced sites, the Vigil 700 covers the same ground on mains-backed or solar power. Both carry the full onboard AI analytics suite as standard — intrusion zones around the compound, tripwires across access points, and human/vehicle classification to keep alerts relevant.
Utilities & infrastructure CCTV FAQs.
Does it work on a site with no power or network at all?
Yes — the tower runs on solar or battery power and connects over 4G, so it works on sites where no permanent power or network infrastructure exists yet.
Can it cover a substation, compound or works site specifically?
Yes, we configure intrusion zones and tripwires around the specific compound or access point during the site survey, rather than a single generic motion alarm covering the whole area.
How long can it stay on a temporary works site?
As long as the works need — there's no minimum hire period, so it can cover a short cable run or a multi-month infrastructure project equally.
