Off-grid mobile security towers providing 360-degree intrusion detection and visual alarm verification

About the product

The Upshot REX 700 CCTV Tower and Upshot REX 600 PID mobile security towers provide 360° intrusion detection and visual alarm verification. Both are built for off-grid use and operate on high-capacity batteries that are recharged by integrated solar panels, eliminating the need for a permanent power source. REX 700 can also be connected to a mains power supply when needed. Made from durable UV-protected material, the towers can withstand impact and harsh outdoor conditions. REX 700 is higher than REX 600, providing an elevated observation point for detectors and cameras to control the fence line, equipment, or building materials stored on-site. Both towers can be flat-packed for easy storage and delivery, and no heavy lifting equipment is required for the deployment process. They provide reliable 24/7 protection for construction sites, vacant properties, and remote locations where traditional security systems are difficult to install or maintain.

Hub 2 (4G) Jeweller manages the Ajax devices integrated into the towers. It is equipped with multiple communication channels for uninterrupted connectivity. The hub can switch automatically between Ethernet and two independent cellular networks (2G/3G/LTE). Additionally, the hub checks the connection with each device regularly and keeps all transmitted data encrypted. In case of interference or jamming attempts, the system switches to a free radio frequency and sends notifications to the monitoring station and users. The hub also enables visual verification of alarms, so professionals can see what triggered the event.

Four MotionCam Outdoor Jeweller detectors are installed on each tower to provide full 360-degree coverage. When motion is detected, the device takes a series of photos and sends them to the Ajax apps or third-party monitoring software within seconds. This helps to evaluate the situation instantly and prevents unnecessary patrol dispatches. The detector features an anti-masking system and a tamper button, so any attempt to block, obstruct, paint over, or remove the device is immediately reported.

Both towers feature StreetSiren Jeweller. Equipped with a powerful 113 dB buzzer and bright LED frame, the siren instantly warns intruders that they have been noticed. The siren has a sealed IP54-rated enclosure that ensures reliable operation in both hot and cold conditions.

In addition to the standard setup, Upshot REX 700 can also feature TurretCam cameras and MotionCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller detectors, replacing MotionCam Outdoor Jeweller when a higher observation point is needed. These detectors are installed at 2—4 m high to look over obstacles and ensure 360° coverage with no blind spots. The devices detect motion at distances up to 15 m and are equipped with built-in cameras that can take a series of photos in case of an alarm, according to a schedule, based on specific scenarios, or on demand. This way, users and professionals can assess the real-time situation on the site remotely at any time.

TurretCam provides video surveillance with a customizable motion detection area. Thanks to built-in AI recognition, these wired security IP cameras accurately detect people, pets, and vehicles, which improves situational awareness. Alarms from cameras are synchronized with the system's events, enabling scenario-based recordings for accurate incident tracking. When connected to mains power, the cameras provide continuous 24/7 video monitoring. In off-grid setups, Relay Jeweller reduces power consumption by keeping cameras in standby mode until a motion is spotted by a MotionCam detector, activating the cameras. This setup enables the tower to operate efficiently with a single solar panel. The video feed is available in Ajax apps, alongside photos from MotionCam detectors, providing a comprehensive overview of each event. The camera's IP65-rated enclosure ensures durability in harsh environments and outdoor installations.

All Ajax devices are easily managed via secure mobile and desktop Ajax apps. Users can view photos and video streams, as well as check device states and event logs from anywhere. The system can also be easily expanded with additional devices. Each tower enables coverage of large areas of up to 700 m². This makes REX 700 and REX 600 suitable for sites that change over time and need flexible, reliable security without complex installation.
