Core technologies
WJ Sunstone solar surveillance and telecommunications systems deliver reliable security and connectivity without fixed power or cabling. The portfolio supports rapid deployment, low emissions, and year‑round operation in demanding environments. Moreover, each platform integrates modern sensing, analytics, and secure backhaul to meet operational and sustainability goals.
- Solar CCTV System (SICS). An award‑winning off‑grid CCTV platform built in 316L stainless steel and engineered for extreme conditions (‑40°C to +50°C). It supports HD and thermal imaging, remote power monitoring, and third‑party VMS integration. Consequently, it suits corrosive and remote locations.
- ARC System. A deployable solar‑powered CCTV tower with a telescopic mast. It offers proactive health monitoring, anti‑vandal features, and optional site‑wide Wi‑Fi and PA. Therefore, it is well suited to temporary worksites and live environments.
- IO System. A hardwired, rapidly deployable base station that aggregates cameras, thermal imaging, IoT sensors, and audio. It provides encryption, role‑based access, and scalable coverage with battery backup. Additionally, operators can link multiple IO units across a site.
- RAFT System. A high‑power, autonomous platform for mission‑critical IoT and communications. It includes an internal control and power management system, modular solar arrays, and a robust telescopic mast. Furthermore, it operates from ‑40°C to +50°C without groundworks.
- Power Station. A hybrid solar and HVO generator solution that delivers dependable off‑grid power with remote monitoring. It reduces reliance on diesel while supporting telecoms and surveillance loads.
- ARC Generator. A mobile solar and methanol generator system with integrated 4G/5G connectivity and anti‑theft features. As a result, it extends clean power to critical operations in harsh environments.
Sectors we serve
- Highways. Platforms are approved for the UK Strategic Road Network. They deploy in under 45 minutes and integrate traffic analytics such as ANPR, average speed, and lane‑incursion detection. Consequently, teams gain real‑time visibility and quicker incident response.
- Rail. Solutions secure depots and trackside assets using solar power and resilient backhaul. They provide continuous monitoring and help reduce emissions at rail facilities. Furthermore, projects demonstrate high solar contribution to power needs.
- Construction. Rapid deployment CCTV towers protect sites, compounds, and entrances. They support perimeter alerts, access control, and monitored response. In addition, installation typically completes in under 45 minutes.
- Security (integrators and end users). WJ Sunstone provides solar CCTV, ARC towers, and the IO System for integrated surveillance, audio, and remote monitoring. Therefore, partners can tailor solutions to each site.
- Oil & Gas. Systems support wellheads, pipelines, and remote facilities with robust surveillance and telecoms. Notably, deployments include 58 SICS units and 30 RAFT systems for Chevron and TCO in Kazakhstan.
- Mining. Platforms operate in remote, harsh environments with relocatable configurations and battery autonomy. As a result, mines achieve lower operating costs and improved coverage.
- Ports. Ruggedised systems withstand maritime conditions and scale across yards, terminals, and access points. Moreover, real‑time analytics support proactive threat detection.
- Airports. Portable, solar‑powered surveillance delivers immediate coverage where operations change quickly. Additionally, integrated analytics support perimeter monitoring and incident response.
- Borders. Autonomous platforms extend surveillance into remote areas and combine AI‑driven analytics with secure communications. Consequently, agencies can adapt to evolving risks.
- Events. Rapidly deployable systems provide flexible coverage for festivals and venues, with scalable communications for organisers and responders.
Sustainability and deployment metrics
WJ Sunstone designs systems to reduce CO₂e and fuel use while maintaining uptime. Each solar platform can cut approximately 1 tonne of CO₂e per year and save over 1,000 litres of fuel, compared with diesel‑powered alternatives. Additionally, many deployments are live within 45 minutes. Several products emphasise zero operational emissions and recyclability at end of life.
Example outcomes
Sector pages highlight emissions reductions and rapid deployments across UK highways and rail projects, including high solar contribution to power demand. In Oil & Gas, multi‑unit deployments improve coverage across wellheads and long‑distance pipelines while avoiding hardwired power. Therefore, operators realise both sustainability and operational gains at scale.
WJ Sunstone solar surveillance enables fast, low‑carbon protection and connectivity across highways, rail, construction, oil and gas, airports, ports, mining, borders, and events. Furthermore, the portfolio’s deployment speed, analytics, and resilient power help teams meet security, safety, and sustainability targets.
