Solar CCTV wins award

A security project partnership between a road marking contractor and a sustainable products manufacturer has led to the companies receiving an award. 

WJ Group and Sunstone Systems won in the Security Partnering Initiative of the Year category in the Security & Fire Excellence Awards for their use of a solar-powered CCTV system. 

The ARC 4.0 (autonomous remote communications) unit harness power via solar panels and can be fitted with up to three static cameras and one pan-tilt-zoom unit, as well as thermal imaging capabilities. 

Smart analytics include intruder detection and perimeter security protection, with alarms and warning deterrents. 

The unit has an integrated methanol fuel cell as backup for autonomous year-round operation. 

Wayne Johnson, CEO of WJ Group, said that using the ARC 4.0 helped the company reduce its dependence on unsustainable fuels and allowed local authority customers to meet their sustainability commitments. 

Paul Schelhaas, CEO of Sunstone Systems, added that such partnerships can help the highways industry work towards achieving net zero.
