Smart Mobile Tower Monitoring ยท Built in the UK

Know if your tower
has been pushed over.

Tower Guardian is intelligent monitoring built for mobile CCTV towers, rapid deployment units and surveillance pods. Battery health, tilt detection, live GPS, signal strength and every camera โ€” on one dashboard. Stop driving across the country to check on a tower; let it tell you what's happening.

Every metric that matters,
on every tower you own.

Mobile CCTV towers fail differently to fixed CCTV. Batteries deplete. Solar panels get shaded. Wind shifts the mast. Thieves try to drag them off site. Tower Guardian watches the lot โ€” and tells you before the customer notices.

๐Ÿ”‹
Battery Health & Runtime Prediction
Live state of charge, voltage, current, cycle count and temperature. Predicted runtime cross-referenced with solar forecast โ€” know when a tower needs swapping out, days in advance.
๐Ÿ“
Tilt & Push-Over Detection
Accelerometer monitors mast angle in real time. Anything over 3ยฐ fires an instant alert โ€” push-over attempts, vehicle strikes and ground subsidence flagged the moment they happen.
๐Ÿ“
Live GPS & Geofence Breach Alerts
Every tower on a live map with deployment geofence. Move more than 50 metres off site without authorisation and the alert goes out โ€” to you, the customer and your ARC.

4G Signal & Data Usage
RSRP, carrier, bars and monthly data usage tracked per tower. Get a warning at 80% of allowance โ€” before footage stops uploading mid-incident.

Stop guessing where
your towers are.

The difference between a tower being stolen overnight and the thieves being intercepted often comes down to one push notification.

โœ• Without Tower Guardian
  • Engineer drives 90 minutes to a tower only to find the battery is fine.
  • Customer rings furious because cameras went offline overnight โ€” battery flat, nobody knew.
  • Tower disappears off site and you find out from a Google Maps screenshot two days later.
  • Solar panel obscured by tarpaulin for three weeks โ€” silent generation failure.
  • 4G SIM blows through its monthly data allowance, footage stops uploading, you don't know.
  • No idea which tower is on which site, no idea how long it's been there.
โœ“ With Tower Guardian
  • Engineers dispatched only when the tower actually needs hands on it.
  • You get a low-battery alert hours before it dies โ€” schedule a swap on your terms.
  • Geofence breach fires the moment a tower is moved โ€” straight to your phone and your ARC.
  • Solar generation tracked daily โ€” obscured panels flagged within hours.
  • Data usage tracked live, alerts at 80% โ€” never lose footage to a blown SIM allowance.
  • Live map of every tower, every site, every hire โ€” visible at a glance.

Built for the realities of
mobile deployment.

Battery Health Monitoring

Voltage, current, SoC, cycle count and temperature. Predicted runtime cross-referenced with solar input and load.

๐Ÿ“

Tilt & Vibration Sensors

Accelerometer detects push-over attempts, vehicle strikes and ground subsidence within seconds.

๐Ÿ“

Live GPS & Geofencing

Every tower on a live map. Per-deployment geofences. Movement alerts the moment a tower leaves site.

โ˜€๏ธ

Solar Generation Tracking

Live wattage, daily yield and panel fault detection. Obscured panels flagged before batteries drain.

๐Ÿ“ก

Signal & Data Usage

RSRP, carrier and bars per tower. Monthly data allowance tracked with 80% warnings.

๐Ÿ“‹

Deployment Checklists

Engineers sign off pre-deployment checks in the EM8 HQ app โ€” battery, firmware, mast, SIM.

๐Ÿ“…

Hire Period & Billing

Off-hire dates, days on site, utilisation reports. Auto-billing hooks straight into your EM8 invoicing.

๐ŸŽฅ

All-Camera Live View

Every camera on every tower, one click away. Pull clips remotely. Audio talkdown if speakers fitted.

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

Environmental Sensors

Wind speed, temperature, humidity. Optional auto-lower-mast above wind threshold for safety.

๐Ÿ”„

Remote Reboot & Control

Reboot, override IR, reposition PTZ cameras and trigger talkdown โ€” all from the portal.

๐Ÿ”—

Cortex Connect ARC

Critical alerts route to any approved UK ARC within seconds. No port forwarding, no static IPs.

UK-Built AI Platform

Cortex AI runs on our own UK infrastructure. Auto face redaction on every clip exported.

Every reading,
every few seconds.

Open any tower in the EM8 Portal and you see the full picture in real time. Battery voltage, solar input, signal strength, mast angle, cabinet door status โ€” everything streaming from the tower every few seconds. No more guessing.

Each tower's full history is retained too โ€” battery curves over 24 hours, deployment timeline, every alert, every service event. Useful for warranty claims, contract reporting and spotting patterns across the fleet.

Every site visit avoided is
margin back in your pocket.

Mobile CCTV towers earn their hire by being deployed. Every hour spent on the road to check on one is hire revenue you can't bill for.

โˆ’โฑ

Fewer unnecessary site visits

Don't drive two hours to find the battery is fine. Tower Guardian tells you exactly which towers need hands on them โ€” and which don't.

+ยฃ

Higher fleet utilisation

Know exactly which towers are deployed, in transit and sitting in the yard. Catch off-hire dates the moment they happen and re-deploy fast.

Theft prevention & recovery

Live GPS, tilt and geofence breaches mean stolen towers get tracked in real time. Lower insurance premiums, fewer write-offs.

Critical alerts straight to your ARC.

Cortex Connect routes tower tampering, push-over events and geofence breaches to any approved UK Alarm Receiving Centre in seconds. No port forwarding, no VPN setup โ€” just instant, encrypted, auditable alerts and live video feeds from the tower cameras.

Common questions
from tower operators.

QWill Tower Guardian work with my existing towers?
Yes. The telemetry module is a retrofit bolt-on that works with WCCTV, Videcon, Hikvision MTU and any other major tower brand. The module connects to your existing cameras and adds the sensors directly โ€” no need to replace your fleet.
QHow accurate is the tilt detection?
The accelerometer reads to within 0.1ยฐ and updates every second. Default alert threshold is 3ยฐ from vertical, fully configurable per tower. Push-over attempts and vehicle strikes typically register within milliseconds.
QWhat happens if the tower is moved off site without authorisation?
Every deployment has its own geofence. The moment the tower moves more than your configured radius โ€” typically 50 metres โ€” an alert fires to your team, the customer and your nominated ARC. Live GPS continues tracking for as long as the tower has power and signal.
QHow does runtime prediction work?
We combine the current battery state of charge with real-time solar generation, weather forecast (sunlight hours), and the tower's average load profile. The prediction updates continuously as conditions change โ€” so if a tarpaulin lands on the solar panel, the runtime estimate drops within minutes.
QDo I need a separate SIM for each tower?
No. Every Tower Guardian module ships with a UK SIM on a managed data plan. We monitor usage centrally and alert you at 80% of the monthly allowance. Top-up bundles are available if you need extra data for high-camera-count deployments.
QHow quickly can I get started?
Most fleets are live within a day of receiving the modules. The bolt-on fits the standard tower mast in around 20 minutes per unit. Once registered in the EM8 Portal, telemetry flows immediately and the tower appears on the live map.

Stop driving across the country to check on towers.
