The Challenge

Construction sites are
vulnerable from day one

Traditional CCTV needs infrastructure that simply doesn't exist on a new site.

01

No Power

New sites lack electrical infrastructure for traditional CCTV. Generators are costly and not a security solution.

02

No Connectivity

No fibre, no fixed Wi-Fi. You can't monitor what you can't connect to — and you can't connect without infrastructure.

03

Shifting Perimeters

Security hotspots move as construction progresses. Fixed installations can't keep pace with an evolving site footprint.

04

Theft & Vandalism

Materials, tools, and equipment are high-value targets — especially after hours and over weekends when sites are unmanned.

The Solution

One pole. Complete security.

The Smart IP Mobile Sentry Pole is engineered specifically for construction environments. It deploys in hours, operates entirely off-grid, and relocates as your project evolves.

Self-Powered

Solar panel, battery bank, and inverter provide round-the-clock off-grid operation. Optional mains input when site power arrives.

Self-Connected

Built-in Ubiquiti mobile router with SIM card delivers cellular uplink for live monitoring and cloud recording — no fibre needed.

Self-Contained

Fully portable. No permanent installation, no civil works. Relocate to wherever the site needs coverage next — operational in hours.

Live Deployment

Pole Anatomy

Built from the ground up
for the job site

Solar Panel

Off-grid power generation. Charges the internal battery bank for continuous 24/7 operation without mains power.

Dome Camera

Downward-facing at ~4m height. Captures facial detail and close-range ground-level activity directly below the pole.

N · S · E · W + Wi-Fi repeater

Camera Hat ×4

Four fixed cameras covering N, S, E, and W for complete 360° coverage — plus a Wi-Fi repeater for mesh networking.

Electrical Enclosure

Weather-rated housing for IP networking gear, battery bank, solar inverter, and the Ubiquiti cellular router with SIM.

Key Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

360° Surveillance

4 directional cameras plus 1 downward dome deliver complete perimeter coverage from a single elevated vantage point. No blind spots.

Solar Powered

Integrated panel, battery bank, and inverter. Fully off-grid 24/7 with an optional mains input once site power arrives.

Cellular Connectivity

Ubiquiti mobile router with SIM enables live remote monitoring, footage playback, and alerts from any device, anywhere.

Wi-Fi Mesh · 5km Range

5GHz 867Mbps wireless bridges link satellite poles to the master. One SIM contract covers your entire deployment, however large.

Modular Add-Ons

Hikvision face readers for time & attendance, PTZ cameras, AI analytics (intrusion, line crossing, people counting), cloud dashboards.

Fully Portable

No civil works. No decommissioning. Relocate as construction phases shift — back online within hours of moving.

How It Works

No CAPEX. No long-term commitment.

All-inclusive monthly rental — equipment, cellular data, software licensing, and support.

01

Deploy

Smart IP delivers and installs on your site. Operational within hours — no civil works, no waiting.

02
