Proactive Portable Detection System
The WCCTV Thermal Solar Tower is a mobile CCTV tower that uses thermal imaging, video analytics and solar power to detect and deter unauthorised activity before it reaches your site.
It’s designed for off grid, remote or temporary locations where accurate detection is essential and flexibility is prioritised.
The units combine thermal and optical cameras with automatic image fusion, providing 24/7 detection of people and vehicles in darkness, dust or fog.
Edge-based video analytics trigger real-time alerts, voice-down warnings and evidence recording without manual oversight.
The system is solar-powered and fully autonomous, allowing it to be deployed to practically any location.
It can be repositioned easily by site teams as the layout changes, with no need to call in WCCTV engineers.
Designed to Detect, Deter and Adapt to Your Site
The Thermal Solar Tower is fully powered by solar energy, meaning it can be deployed to practically any location regardless of power or internet availability.
The Thermal Solar Tower can easily be moved around your sites and compounds by your onsite staff, meaning you can quickly address any emerging surveillance needs.
All WCCTV Towers feature motion detectors backed by remote alarm monitoring services, meaning that a live crime prevention process is initiated when intruders are detected.
All live and recorded video from WCCTV's Towers is delivered by mobile connectivity, allowing you to access footage from your phone or laptop at any time, from anywhere.
The Thermal Solar Tower boasts four bio-spec cameras providing the highest quality thermal detection and video recording capability to keep your sites secure.
Deploying a WCCTV Tower backed by remote alarm monitoring and keyholder response can dave up to 88% when compared with security guarding services.

The Thermal Solar Tower delivers early detection, live response and long-range coverage in environments where you can’t afford to miss a threat.
Where Detection Makes the Difference
The Thermal Solar Tower is built for sites where early detection is critical and incidents need to be stopped before they escalate. It gives site teams automated surveillance that doesn’t depend on lighting conditions or live oversight.
Construction firms working on remote, high-value or at-risk developments where site boundaries are difficult to protect or clearly define
Demolition contractors securing perimeters and plant between working hours or across staged clearances in unsecured environments
Residential developers protecting new-build plots, materials and scaffold-heavy sites from opportunistic access and overnight activity
Excavation teams monitoring open, unlit areas with minimal infrastructure and high equipment exposure during non-working hours
Vacant property managers protecting large plots of land or partially developed sites that attract trespassers or fly-tipping
It’s a smarter way to detect threats early and take control before problems reach your site.
Trusted by Multiple Industries
Used to detect threats before they reach compounds, perimeters or active zones—especially on open or low-light sites.
Deployed on clearance projects to secure machinery and materials across phased or partially exposed environments.
Monitors new-build plots and scaffold-heavy sites where materials and plant are exposed outside of working hours.
Protects earthworks and groundwork phases in open areas where temporary fencing alone isn’t enough to prevent access.
Covers open land, disused sites or stalled developments where unauthorised entry, dumping or vandalism are known issues.
Tools That Help You Act Faster and See More
The Thermal Solar Tower can be equipped with a range of optional features that extend its detection capabilities, support evidence gathering and simplify site response.
ANPR Cameras: Add numberplate recognition cameras to track vehicle movement on and around your site. Manage access, asset movement and report vehicle-based intrusion.
Time Lapse Camera: Document your project with high-resolution time lapse footage delivered as a professionally edited visual record.
Remote Monitoring: Connect the tower to an NSI Gold accredited remote CCTV monitoring partner. Operators assess each activation, deliver live voice-down and escalate when required.
Mobile Keyholding: On out-of-hours activation, a licensed responder attends site, investigates and reports, keeping your team off call while ensuring incidents are handled professionally.
Our multiple addons help create a custom security and safety solution that best meets your site's needs.

How Far Can the Thermal Camera Detect Movement?
The system provides up to 45 metres of thermal detection, with accuracy supported by built-in analytics and fused optical imaging.
Does the Tower Work in Complete Darkness?
The thermal camera detects heat signatures rather than relying on visible light, making it effective in darkness, poor weather or visually obscured conditions.
Is the Tower Fully Solar Powered?
The tower is powered by integrated solar panels and battery storage, meaning it does not require mains or generator input for standard operation.
Can Site Teams Move the Tower Without WCCTV?
The Thermal Solar Tower is designed to be repositioned by your own team as the site evolves, without needing WCCTV engineers to assist.
Is Live Monitoring Available with This Unit?
The system can be connected to a live monitoring station where trained operators assess triggers, issue voice-down warnings and escalate when necessary.
