Why Choosing Solar-only Powered Towers is a Mistake

There’s a reason why Solar-only powered towers are ‘doomed’. It’s similar to why:

you wouldn’t use a plastic spoon to cut a steak.

or sandpaper to polish your car.

or use a hanky as a parachute.

It’s simply not up to the job.

It’s NOT JUST the quality of the equipment that’s compromised - good quality cameras are power-hungry!
OR the functionality - 24/7 HD recording is also power-hungry.

There’s something even more obvious.

The UK weather!!

🌞 Even if the Sun does have his hat and sunglasses on, solar-only CCTV towers risk power shortages.
Ask yourself:

“What’s the chance of the sun shining for the entire length of your client’s project?”

And then there’s human error. We’ve seen towers:

✳️ parked under bridges
✳️ parked behind large buildings

And weather damage:

✳️ solar panels literally ripped from their housing during vicious winter storms!

Putting all your temporary CCTV security eggs into one solar power basket is not the Premium solution.

With our REG Army towers, we don’t compromise on equipment AND power is never an issue.

Dual Power Plus gives you Solar, PLUS 6 months runtime from fuel cells. PLUS 48 hours backup.

We’re not taking any chances and neither should you.

Ask yourself, isn’t it time you gave your clients the equipment AND the reliability they crave?
Isn’t it time you switched to Premium CCTV towers?
