Solar-Powered Site Security System. Drop It In, Turn It On, Start Monitoring

The Protect 1 is a self-contained, solar-powered surveillance unit built for sites that need robust security infrastructure without permanent installation. Everything required to run two 4MP PTZ cameras is built into the base, solar panel, battery, 4G modem, onboard video storage and all wiring. The collapsible mast folds down for transport and deploys on site. Move it into position with a forklift and it’s recording.

Cameras are configured to filter by AI image recognition, registering only human and vehicle motion rather than everything in frame. Combined with 25x optical zoom and 100m night vision, the system captures what matters and ignores what doesn’t. Footage streams via 4G for remote playback or stores onboard. Three and a half days of battery redundancy without sun, six days to full charge recovery.

Available to purchase or hire.

Why Choose This Product

Tamper-Proof by Design

Anti-climb spikes, an anti-vandalism solar panel backplate, a locked cabinet and no exposed wiring below the spike line make the Protect 1 resistant to interference in unsupervised locations. It's built for sites where the unit will be left unattended for extended periods.

AI Motion Detection, Human & Vehicle

The cameras can be configured to register human and vehicle motion exclusively, filtering out environmental movement that would otherwise generate false alerts. On a busy or remote site, that distinction matters for managing footage and alert volume.

25x Optical Zoom & 100m Night Vision

Two 4MP PTZ cameras with 25x optical zoom cover significant ground from a fixed position. 100m night vision keeps the system operational through the night without additional lighting infrastructure.

Forklift In, Turn On, Record

No tow vehicle, no civil works, no setup complexity. The Protect 1 has a forklift pocket built into the base, drop it where you need it and it's operational. The collapsible mast packs down for transport and deploys on site in minutes.

See It in Use

Built for Sites That Need Security Without Infrastructure

Mining

Remote drill sites, laydown areas, restricted zones and site entries where permanent CCTV infrastructure isn't practical and tamper resistance is a priority.

Civil Construction

Equipment security, site perimeter monitoring and access surveillance on projects where the unit needs to move as the site layout changes.

Agriculture

Remote property monitoring, grain storage facilities, equipment yards and water infrastructure on large stations where permanent CCTV installation isn't feasible and the unit needs to withstand extended periods unattended.

Defence & Government

Forward operating locations and secure perimeters requiring self-sufficient, tamper-resistant surveillance without fixed installation.
