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 — 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 — and tells you before the customer notices.
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.
- Engineer drives 90 minutes to a tower only to find the battery is fine.
- Customer rings furious because cameras went offline overnight — 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 — 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.
- Engineers dispatched only when the tower actually needs hands on it.
- You get a low-battery alert hours before it dies — schedule a swap on your terms.
- Geofence breach fires the moment a tower is moved — straight to your phone and your ARC.
- Solar generation tracked daily — obscured panels flagged within hours.
- Data usage tracked live, alerts at 80% — never lose footage to a blown SIM allowance.
- Live map of every tower, every site, every hire — 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.
Tilt & Vibration Sensors
Accelerometer detects push-over attempts, vehicle strikes and ground subsidence within seconds.
Live GPS & Geofencing
Every tower on a live map. Per-deployment geofences. Movement alerts the moment a tower leaves site.
Solar Generation Tracking
Live wattage, daily yield and panel fault detection. Obscured panels flagged before batteries drain.
Signal & Data Usage
RSRP, carrier and bars per tower. Monthly data allowance tracked with 80% warnings.
Deployment Checklists
Engineers sign off pre-deployment checks in the EM8 HQ app — battery, firmware, mast, SIM.
Hire Period & Billing
Off-hire dates, days on site, utilisation reports. Auto-billing hooks straight into your EM8 invoicing.
All-Camera Live View
Every camera on every tower, one click away. Pull clips remotely. Audio talkdown if speakers fitted.
Environmental Sensors
Wind speed, temperature, humidity. Optional auto-lower-mast above wind threshold for safety.
Remote Reboot & Control
Reboot, override IR, reposition PTZ cameras and trigger talkdown — all from the portal.
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 — everything streaming from the tower every few seconds. No more guessing.
Each tower's full history is retained too — 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.
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 — and which don't.
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 — just instant, encrypted, auditable alerts and live video feeds from the tower cameras.
