Solar-Powered LTE Video Camera
HD video, intelligent event detection and live remote access — from sites with no mains power and no broadband. A self-contained unit that runs day and night on battery, kept charged by its own solar panel and connected over the mobile network.
A Genuine First for the Industry
Until now, a camera on a remote, off-grid site meant a compromise: the occasional still image, sent hours apart, in whatever quality a small solar battery could afford.
We set out to remove that compromise entirely. The result is true HD video and razor-sharp stills — day or night — from a unit that needs no mains power and no fixed line. Two years of research and development have gone into making that possible in a package you can mount on a post and walk away from.
See It Day or Night
Daytime — a full HD 1080p still through a professional IR-cut lens, for true, natural colour.
The same kind of location after dark — full HD 1080p clarity from our starlight low-light technology.
HD VIDEO, NOT JUST STILLS
HD video by day — 20-second clips in 720p, captured automatically the moment something enters the scene.
And after dark — the same smooth footage, sent straight to you over the mobile network.
AI WE BUILT OURSELVES
Most cameras rely on generic, off-the-shelf detection. We didn't want generic. Over 14 years we've gathered more than 10.4 million real images — from the Environment Agency, Network Rail, county councils and private operators — and used them to train our own AI to recognise exactly what it's looking at.
That's a dataset no one else has: real sites, real weather, the exact conditions these cameras face every day. It's why our detection is accurate where off-the-shelf systems fall short — and it can't be bought off the shelf or copied.
Not just "a car" or "a person" — our AI recognises site-specific conditions like spilled sandbag material or displaced concrete on the track, the kind of detail only years of real infrastructure imagery can teach it to see.
IT DOESN'T JUST WATCH — IT ACTS
Trained on 14 years of real-world imagery, the camera recognises what matters at your site — rising flood water, debris building against a trash screen, or movement where there shouldn't be any.
The moment it detects something, it acts on its own: sending an automatic email alert with the video attached, and pushing the same footage straight to your smartphone app. No one has to be watching a screen for the warning to arrive.
From debris building on a trash screen to a ladder left by the line, it flags the hazards that matter — and the moment it spots one, the alert goes out automatically.
PRIVACY, BUILT IN
The same AI that spots what matters also protects the people it sees. Faces and vehicle number plates are detected and blurred automatically, before the footage ever reaches you — no manual editing, no personal data left exposed.
It means you can monitor public spaces and roadsides while keeping personal data protected — compliance built in from the start, not bolted on afterwards.
A busy platform — every face blurred automatically, while the AI detects and classifies each person in the scene (green).
The same location moments later — here the AI has also picked out a bicycle (orange), telling different object types apart, with every face still blurred.
BRITISH-BUILT AND BRITISH-CONTROLLED
The LTE Video Camera is designed, built and controlled by Vision Link, a British company. Every unit runs only our own software and reports only to our own systems — never to a third-party surveillance platform. All images and data are processed and held on infrastructure we operate, under UK and EU law, and are never sent to, stored in, or accessible from the People's Republic of China. Faces and number plates are blurred automatically as part of that processing.
This is what keeps our equipment clear of the restrictions the UK Government placed on foreign-controlled surveillance systems — in its Security Update on Surveillance Equipment (24 November 2022) and the national-security provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 — which apply to equipment produced by manufacturers subject to the National Intelligence Law of the People's Republic of China. Our full position is set out in our Surveillance Equipment Compliance Statement (VL-CMP-001), available to procurement and security teams on request.
BUILT TO LOOK AFTER ITSELF
432 Wh of lithium power, kept topped up by its own solar panel — enough to run continuously, day and night, right through the darker months.
Always-connected 4G LTE. The camera automatically switches to whichever mobile network is strongest at your site, so it stays online even where a single-network SIM would drop out.
Updated over the air. New detection abilities and improvements arrive remotely — no site visit, no downtime, no ladder.
MORE THAN A CAMERA
The camera is only the beginning. It's the hub of a wider monitoring system that reaches well beyond what the lens can see.
Add wireless sensors. Low-power LoRa radio nodes extend monitoring right across your site — water level, temperature, pump status, even ground movement — all reporting back through the camera's single connection.
Or wire in precision sensors. Connect a high-resolution water level sensor, or a compact weather station reporting wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity and air quality.
Plug into your existing platforms. A full API lets the camera's images, video and sensor data feed straight into the systems you already run — no need to replace what works.
SEE IT LIVE
A fresh clip straight from the field, updated through the day — the camera spotting people and trains in live conditions.
A live view from a camera out in the field, refreshing every few minutes — detecting people and trains automatically, and blurring every face as it goes.
