Off-Grid Power Supply for Mobile Security Towers
TelescopicMast
TelescopicMast is a leading provider of mobile security boxes for temporary CCTV security solutions. These rapidly deployable towers are used for monitoring both crewed and uncrewed sites, including construction sites, railroad tracks, events, infrastructure projects like solar and wind parks, and for border control and building security.
The Challenge
Providing uninterrupted, 24/7 surveillance in remote or temporary locations presents a significant challenge. Many of these sites, such as construction zones, infrastructure projects, and border areas, lack access to the local power grid. Traditional power solutions like generators can be noisy, maintenance-heavy, and environmentally unfriendly. TelescopicMast needed a power source that could operate autonomously, reliably, and quietly, ensuring continuous operation of cameras, floodlights, and audio systems without frequent human intervention or high operational costs.
The Solution
To meet these demands, TelescopicMast integrated the EFOY Pro 2800 fuel cell into its mobile security towers. This advanced fuel cell technology offers a compact, silent, and emission-free power supply that operates independently of the grid. The EFOY Pro 2800 ensures that all surveillance equipment, cameras, lighting, and audio systems, remains fully functional around the clock. Its long runtime and low maintenance requirements make it ideal for remote deployments, reducing the need for on-site personnel and minimising downtime.
Result
With the EFOY Pro 2800, TelescopicMast’ s towers now deliver reliable, off-grid surveillance in even the most remote areas. This upgrade reduces operational costs by up to 60% and eliminates the need for generators or constant on-site staffing. The clean, quiet fuel cell also supports sustainable, low-maintenance security deployments.
“The EFOY Pro 2800 makes it possible to install security towers in the most remote locations and ensures continuous surveillance of the sites to be monitored. ”

How it Works
The EFOY continuously monitors the battery voltage, automatically turning on and off to charge the batteries. It effectively acts as a ‘battery charger ’ ensuring that the batteries are kept within the optimal voltage range. Compared to an internal combustion generator, the EFOY fuel cell has few moving parts providing higher levels of reliability and reduced noise levels. The only emissions it produces are tiny amount of carbon dioxide and water.
