Summary
We designed, manufactured and deployed three Solar IP CCTV System (SICS) for Highways England in Area 9, which can be quickly and easily deployed to required locations and provide surveillance, particularly:
-
Where there are high traffic flows with congestion or queues
-
At interchanges with converging/diverging traffic flows
-
At locations such as tunnels where traffic congestion or accidents may create dangerous conditions
Each Solar CCTV System sends surveillance data via the integrated wireless access point or 4G network and onto Highways Agency Video Management System (VMS) via the internet. The new SICS system (Highways) includes:
-
IP Pan, Tilt and Zoom Camera (PTZ) and Wireless Access Point/s (150Mbps) or 4G
-
Transport base, telescoping outriggers and telecommunications cabinet
-
Access to the surveillance stream can be provided to stakeholders via phone and tablet applications

The Solution
Full deployment of the Solar CCTV System in under 1 hour with minimal groundworks, no hardwired power or data connections required. They can be easily redeployed to a new location and requirement with high-speed surveillance and data connections over 4G or free to air wireless networks. Powered by the solar array and advanced battery system, the Solar CCTV System is fully autonomous and saves around 6kWh every year, per device
The Results
Project of the Year at the Security and Fire Excellence Awards 2017, the Solar CCTV System was shortlisted for Product of the Year at the British Engineering Excellence Awards in 2018.
Commended at the Chartered Institute of Highways & Transportation Awards 2018 for Innovation with Kier Highways and Carnell. Highways England conducted a cost-benefit analysis comparing our system to a traditional hard-wired security system and estimated that our system provides in excess of £130,000 of savings per deployment
