Autonomous Remote Communications System
Safeguard your assets with the Autonomous Remote Communications (ARC) System, a mobile and adaptable surveillance tower designed for rapid deployment in off-grid and temporary environments. Built from powder-coated, corrosion-resistant steel and engineered in the UK for reliability, the ARC System integrates thermal imaging, radar, smart analytics, and motion detection to secure even the most challenging locations.
Its ruggedised, fully enclosed cabinet is IP66-rated, with built-in GPS, concealed hinges, tamper alerts, and anti-vandal design features. Optional upgrades include a vandal collar and additional sensors for advanced protection. The unit’s stabilising legs and forklift/pump truck slots ensure stable deployment across uneven terrain and easy repositioning as your site develops and requirements change. System health monitoring with automatic alerts enables proactive servicing by our engineers, reducing potential downtime.

Common questions
Solar powered systems use solar panels to generate energy, ensuring continuous operation of communication equipment in remote or off-grid areas. The energy generated by the solar panels during the day are stored in the system batteries and then discharged to support the power needs of the attached sensors and telecommunications system. The camera sensors then supply the surveillance feed to our telecommunications device, which then relays the footage and alerts to the cloud for monitoring.
Our technologies reduce operational costs, minimise your carbon footprint and provide reliable operation in remote locations without grid dependency. This means that our technologies can be deployed quickly to where they are needed and for the duration required. Once the operational requirement is complete, then the systems can be either moved or decommissioned, making further savings against conventional hardwired systems.
Yes, even on cloudy days our systems will still capture irradiance, however this may not be at the same level as unimpeded irradiance. Our systems are designed to operate for extended periods during cloudy conditions and poor irradiance. In addition, each day we monitor power generation and consumption, to ensure uptime all year round.
Depending on the system, they are deployed onto level ground or concrete pad using our deployment trailer or HIAB and faced south, to maximise the generation of power from the sun. It is important to note that shading on the solar panels can have a detrimental effect on the capability to generate power, so we carefully deploy these systems to avoid any shading.
Yes, our systems can work seamlessly with existing security infrastructure. As our cameras and telecommunications systems are IP digital devices, we can integrate the cameras onto your existing Video Management Software (VMS) platform, which enables operators to remotely view and control the system.
Maintenance involves periodic cleaning of solar panels, checking battery health and ensuring the system is functioning properly. In addition, with agreement we can remotely monitor the system and assess performance, if required then we can deploy our maintenance team to support with these duties to ensure optimal performance.
We assess your location, power requirements and specific needs to recommend the best solution for your operational requirement. We do not believe in a one size fits all model, and your requirement may require specific camera technologies (i.e. PTZ, Bullet, Thermal Imaging etc) and telecommunication methods to where the footage is being monitored. We will work closely with you to ensure the solution is appropriately specified for your requirements and budget.
