Hexagon Valley deployed solar-powered CCTV stations at key quarry entry and worksite positions, allowing critical monitoring points to operate completely off-grid without relying on existing power infrastructure.
To overcome distance and visibility challenges, robust wireless links were used to transmit signal through receiver poles and leap-frog aerial pole points back toward the farmhouse and shed network, where the system could be integrated into powered PoE switching infrastructure.
Active deterrent cameras were installed to provide more than passive monitoring. When triggered by human or vehicle activity during client-defined times and schedules, the cameras activate local sirens and strobe lights to discourage intruders before escalation occurs.
Each workstation enclosure was backed by UPS battery protection, providing added resilience and continuity for remote access and system stability.
The client needed reliable security coverage across a rural quarry site, farmhouse, multiple sheds, and machinery areas. Because the property was not always occupied, theft of quarry materials and trespassing had become an ongoing concern whenever the site was unattended.
The key challenge was infrastructure. Critical coverage points around the quarry entrance and worksite had no mobile reception, no available power, and no existing communications network. The farmhouse, which had power and a Starlink connection, sat around 1 kilometre away from the quarry zone. There were also road crossings over public roadways and private driveways, with no direct line of sight between the quarry and the farmhouse connection point.
