CCTV & Security

Stationary & Mobile Surveillance

In the evolving landscape of security, ensuring consistent and autonomous power for CCTV towers is critical—especially in remote or off-grid locations such as construction sites or rural areas.

Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs) are a reliable and environmentally friendly solution for powering video surveillance systems, delivering compact & lightweight power where other options fall short.

CCTV Towers

A typical CCTV tower must provide continuous live and recorded video, operate independently, and withstand harsh weather. While solar panels provide a sustainable base-load power supply, weather variability can limit performance. Batteries alone are often insufficient for continuous operation.

Traditionally, diesel generators have filled this gap, but they pose environmental concerns, require frequent refuelling, and are noisy and heavy. In contrast, methanol-based fuel cells offer a cleaner, quieter, and more cost-effective alternative.

The EFOY fuel cell supports fully autonomous operation or can be combined with solar energy. Methanol fuel cells provide a hybrid and sustainable power source that guarantees continuous electricity, making them ideal for both emergency backup and long-term off-grid applications.

Hybrid Power

Redeployable CCTV cameras play a critical role in temporary monitoring and targeted surveillance application. Different environments and security challenges demand different solutions, by integrating DMFCs into your CCTV rapid deployment towers, you not only enhance operational reliability and reduce fuel logistics but also contribute to a greener, smarter approach to video surveillance and infrastructure protection.
