Some sites are too large, too open or too temporary for guarding alone. Compounds, laydown areas, open land and early-phase construction sites sit unwatched for hours at a time. Most of them have no mains supply and no fixed line either, so conventional CCTV was never an option.
Our towers run on solar with battery backup and connect over mobile data, so they work anywhere. They go up fast, come down fast and move as the site changes. Four cameras per tower record HD footage continuously to the cloud, and the system does not wait for a person to notice something.
The AI runs on the live image, not just on motion. It classifies what it is looking at, so a person is treated differently to weather, wildlife or passing traffic.
Detection is tuned by confidence. On a quiet site you might only want to hear about it when the system is 80% or more certain it is looking at a person. On a site with constant nuisance activity, that threshold comes down.
Within roughly seven seconds of a detection the tower speaks. An AI voice challenge describes the person out loud, down to the colour of the top they are wearing.
A human operator can take the same speaker and talk to site when the situation needs it, with response vehicles and police contact behind that.
Short clips go to the monitoring station rather than hours of video, and everything is recorded and stored, so there is evidence-grade footage afterwards.
NVC supplies the towers, installs them and monitors them. One firm, one number, one account to manage.
A traditional monitoring station is working through thousands of alarms. By the time an operator reaches your site and picks up the microphone, the intruder has taken what they came for and gone. Older systems simply sounded a siren, and on an industrial estate at two in the morning nobody reacts to a siren.
These towers speak first. The AI challenge goes out in around seven seconds and it describes the person it can see. Being described out loud is what actually moves people off a site, because it tells them they have been identified, not just noticed.
Full coverage of a compound or open area from a single mast position.
No mains supply needed and no generator to refuel, so the tower keeps working through the night.
No fixed line required. The tower connects and reports from anywhere with a signal.
Recorded in HD to the cloud around the clock, so the footage is there when you need it.
Confidence thresholds set to suit the site, so you get the alerts that matter and not the ones that do not.
Automatic voice challenge in seconds, with a control room operator able to speak to site on the same speaker.
If the perimeter is long and the value is spread across it, a tower covers ground that people cannot be in two places to watch.
A tower is not a replacement for a dog unit or a patrol on day one. It runs beside them. As the technology proves itself on your site and the pattern of activity becomes clear, the manned cover can be scaled back to what is genuinely needed.
That is where the saving comes from. The same site ends up better watched and costing less than it did at the start.
Towers watch the outside. For the buildings themselves we install monitored alarm systems and CCTV, connected to the same control room, so intruder activations get the same treatment: answered, then attended, averaging 28 minutes.
One firm covering towers, alarms, CCTV and response means one number to call and one report on your desk when something happens.
Send us the details and we will come back the same working day with a plan and a price. Prefer to talk it through? Call and you will speak to a person, not a menu.
Takes a minute.
