SOLAR CCTV RENTAL
Southbank Construction Group
A 14-month high-rise construction project in Southbank required robust after-hours surveillance across the full site perimeter — with no existing grid power available at key vantage points.
THE CHALLENGE
The Security Problem
Southbank Construction Group was experiencing repeated after-hours theft of tools, materials, and copper wiring across their Southbank high-rise site — costing the project over $80,000 in losses and insurance claims across the first three months. The site lacked grid power at perimeter locations, making a permanent CCTV installation impractical. Existing temporary lighting was insufficient and the size of the site — spanning two city blocks — meant standard single-camera solutions left significant blind spots.
Key Vulnerabilities
- No grid power at perimeter vantage points
- Recurring after-hours theft of materials
- Multi-block site with coverage blind spots
- Temporary installation required
- $80,000+ in losses within 3 months

THE SOLUTION
How We Solved It
We deployed a 6-camera Solar CCTV Rental system across the full site perimeter. Each unit is self-contained with an integrated solar panel and lithium battery backup — requiring no trenching, no electrician, and no grid power. All cameras stream live footage via 4G to a centralised monitoring portal, and motion-triggered alerts are sent directly to the site manager’s phone. The system was fully operational within 48 hours of quote approval.

THE RESULT
What Changed
Following installation, the site recorded zero theft incidents across the remaining 11 months of the project. Two after-hours trespassing attempts were captured on camera — both resulting in immediate alerts to the site manager and, in one case, police attendance. The project manager reported that the visible presence of the camera units alone was sufficient to deter opportunistic theft.Our Solar CCTV Rental service delivers enterprise-grade surveillance to any site — with zero grid power required. Purpose-built for construction sites, vacant properties, events, and any location where a permanent installation isn’t feasible or cost-effective. Each unit is self-contained, professionally installed, and remotely monitored so your property is protected from day one.
Key Results
- Zero theft incidents post-installation
- Two trespassing attempts captured and actioned
- Police attendance facilitated by real-time alerts
- Visible deterrent reduced opportunistic incidents
- $0 in theft losses over 11 months
