Protect your site
Solar-powered, monitored towers and pods for building sites, events, farms and empty property. No mains power, no cabling and no groundworks. Monitored 24/7.
Both units below are monitored 24/7, and armed or disarmed from an app. An operator reviews each activation before it is escalated.
The compact, free-standing pod. Quick to place and easy to move as work progresses.
Best for: small compounds, plant clusters, short-term or moving work.
Long-range perimeter protection using thermal and optical cameras together.
Best for: open ground, earthworks, long boundaries and linear schemes.
Equipment, monitoring and guarding for temporary systems are supplied with VPS UK Ltd. Ranges and specifications are manufacturer figures and depend on siting and conditions. Night images from these units are infra-red or thermal, so they are monochrome.
Which unit for which site
Most sites need one camera product outside. Find the situation closest to yours. The survey confirms it, and the final design may use both units.
| The job | First choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Plant and materials in a small compound overnight | Safer POD S1 | 360° detection to 30 m, with sirens and strobes. Solar and battery, so no power is needed. Light enough to move between phases. |
| Long or open perimeter: earthworks, open land, access routes | Safer POD X4 | Thermal and optical cameras. Detection to 150 m, and thermal detection of people and vehicles to 77 m. Works in darkness and poor weather. |
| Linear schemes: roads, drainage, pipelines, utility runs | Safer POD X4 at key points | Covers long stretches. No Hiab needed, so units move along the route with the work front. |
| Sites with a history of plant theft or damage | A layered package | Barriers to stop vehicles, long-range detection at the boundary, cover over the plant, and a response plan. See below. |
Plant theft and damage
A single camera rarely stops a planned theft. Layers do. Plant theft is planned: sites are looked at in daylight, then visited out of hours with a vehicle to take what is there. So we make it hard to get a vehicle in, see people early, challenge them on the spot, and make sure someone attends.
One Safer POD X4 covering the approach, one Safer POD S1 over the plant park, barriers at the gate out of hours and a keyholding response. The final design follows a site survey.
Cameras, barriers and people
Use these alongside a camera unit, or on their own where a full camera system is not needed.
Hard-wired cameras for sites that have power but will not be there for ever: site compounds, event venues and empty buildings. Hired for as long as you need them, and they sit alongside a tower where it helps.
Concrete barriers to stop vehicles using access roads and gateways, plus security fencing, gates, hoarding, steel screens and doors.
Keyholding and alarm response, mobile patrols, and SIA-licensed officers or dog handlers for high-risk periods, deployed within hours when needed.
Any site, any duration
A tower while the risk is highest, a fixed system once the building is in use, and one point of contact throughout. See permanent commercial systems.
From first visit to first alert
Five things we will ask you
The answers shape the whole proposal.
What are you protecting? Plant, fuel, cable, materials, welfare, or the public from the site.
How is the site shaped? A compact compound, open land, or a linear route.
Is there power? Mains, a generator, or nothing.
How long, and will it move? Weeks or months; fixed or following the work front.
What has happened before? Past thefts, damage, trespass, insurer requirements.
Most sites are live within 48 hours of agreeing the proposal, and the Safer POD S1 can often go in the same day. Timing depends on access and availability.
No. The Safer POD S1 and Safer POD X4 run on solar and battery and connect wirelessly.
An operator reviews the live footage before anyone is called out. If it is a real intruder, sirens, strobes and a live voice warning challenge them, and the operator escalates to your key holders and the police in the order you agree. See how monitoring works.
No. Night images from these units are infra-red or thermal, so they are monochrome, and they are chosen for detection and deterrence. Where colour at night matters, for example on a fixed system at a compound or a venue, talk to us about colour night cameras.
Yes. That is what they are for. Pods and towers can be added, relocated or off-hired as phases change, and we plan the first deployment with that in mind.
Temporary systems are normally hired, with the equipment, monitoring and response arranged in one proposal. We quote after the survey, which is free.
Seen. Secured. Sorted.
Tell us about the site, the power and how long you need cover. We will come back within one working day.
