Construction & civil surveillance
Solar-Powered Construction Site Security for Sites Without Power or Internet.
Deployable surveillance systems designed for construction and civil worksites where fixed power, fixed internet or permanent infrastructure are not yet available.
The construction site problem
Construction sites are exposed long before fixed services are connected.
Early-stage construction projects rarely have the infrastructure that traditional CCTV systems rely on. Mains power is often weeks or months from connection, fixed internet hasn't been commissioned, and the site layout keeps changing as works progress. At the same time, copper, tools, plant and materials are accumulating on site — and access after hours is hard to control.
Arxus Sentinel systems are designed for construction projects where traditional CCTV infrastructure is impractical, delayed or unavailable. Sentinel helps provide practical site visibility using solar power and 4G remote access without relying on fixed services.
Why conventional CCTV struggles on construction sites
Fixed surveillance assumes infrastructure construction sites don't have yet.
No mains power
Early-stage sites often have no permanent electrical supply for fixed CCTV.
No fixed internet
NBN and fibre services are usually months away from being commissioned.
Changing site layouts
Compounds, gates and laydowns shift as works progress through stages.
Multiple active areas
Different zones become high-risk at different points in the build.
Exposed materials
Copper, tools, fuel and plant are often left on site after hours.
Limited remote visibility
Site managers can't always be on the ground to verify activity.
Why solar-powered surveillance matters
Built for sites that move, change and grow.
Solar power and 4G connectivity remove the dependency on fixed infrastructure, which is what makes Sentinel practical for staged construction and civil works.
Rapid deployment
Solar and 4G remove the wait for grid power and fixed internet to be commissioned.
Flexible positioning
Units can be moved as compounds, gates and active works shift across the site.
Remote visibility
Review site activity remotely without needing to be physically on site.
Built for evolving projects
Designed for staged construction and civil programs rather than fixed buildings.
