We use high-end solar batteries that require no maintenance. We would recommend the power storage to be replaced every four to five years.
A standard installation of the Opti-Pole takes only two days.
- Day one is dedicated to installing the secure ground bolt, where we use a sucker truck for the footing to create a 1.2m deep x 600mm wide hole and fill it with concrete. This needs time to dry overnight.
- Day two involves the installation of the pole and takes approximately eight to ten hours to complete. Our team are experts at installing the Opti-Pole with minimum disruption to any site.
Most councils will have their own bylaws for any structure and will require paperwork, including an engineers certificate, before commencing installation. We highly recommend you contact your local council for advice. However, you can email us with their requirements and we can assist in supplying you with the information requested.
The Opti-Pole is a cable-free system, meaning the power source is contained within the pole itself. Solar power and wind (if required) power are used to power the system, avoiding cabling installation that is costly and damaging to the environment.
Yes. The Opti-Pole has been designed to deliver a reliable CCTV service across every area of Australia. Where sunlight is a potential issue, we may recommend a small wind generator be added to assist the solar capture technology, however we will advise based on specific locations.
Opti-Pole is still able to work even in places where streaming speed is an issue. We carefully select the best cameras and together with our preferred VMS, are able to program the amount of data usage the camera will use, meaning streaming speed is not an issue. In addition to this, the Opti-Pole has the capacity to contain its own server recording that can be set to 2, 3, 4 or even 5 megapixels which again allows you to control the amount of data usage the system uses.
To protect your investment in Opti-Pole, several security measures are built into the design of the pole itself. The communication enclosure on the pole has several points of alarm including vibration and pressure sensors, communication loss alarm and camera tapering alarm. If an alarm is activated, the alarm notifications can be audible, silent or returned as live footage back to communication rooms as a live feed.
Yes. The Opti-Pole is compatible with most VMS, however we can trial your choice of software should the Opti-Pole require an internal server.
Yes. The Opti-Pole can be powder coated to a colour of your choice or even multi- coloured to suit any environment. This is a particularly popular option in playgrounds, parklands and public council places.
Prior to designing the Opti-Pole, we looked at other systems on the market and discovered that there was nothing that suited the specific needs of the market. Our design team set to develop a high-end remote CCTV system that was completely relocatable and that didn’t rely on an external power supply.
No! Every solar solution is custom designed and there are 11 different solutions as stands to date, from hardware to software solutions.
