Rising energy costs and growing environmental awareness are transforming how businesses think about site security. Traditional CCTV systems depend on grid power or fuel-driven generators, both of which increase operational costs and carbon emissions. Copeland’s EcoWatch Rapid Deployment System provides a smarter, cleaner alternative — delivering reliable surveillance powered entirely by renewable energy.
The power of sustainability in action
EcoWatch is a solar-powered CCTV system designed to protect temporary and remote sites without reliance on mains electricity. Each tower generates its own energy through solar panels and stores it in high-capacity batteries, ensuring continuous performance day and night. This off-grid operation makes EcoWatch ideal for construction, infrastructure and rural environments where traditional installations would be costly or impractical.
Because the system runs entirely on renewable power, it produces zero direct emissions and eliminates the need for diesel generators. This supports clients working toward sustainability and net-zero targets, while also improving the local environment through quiet, clean operation.
A direct impact on running costs
EcoWatch not only reduces emissions but also lowers total operating costs. Conventional CCTV systems often involve hidden expenses such as:
- Generator fuel and maintenance
- Mains power connections and cabling
- Regular refuelling logistics for remote sites
- Installation delays and redeployment costs
By removing these requirements, EcoWatch helps clients control budgets and improve predictability across projects. Once deployed, the system operates autonomously, using free solar energy and smart power management to maintain performance with minimal maintenance.
For construction or infrastructure projects that change location frequently, the financial savings are even greater. EcoWatch can be relocated and redeployed in hours, avoiding the repeated setup costs that come with wired systems.
Combining environmental performance with reliability
EcoWatch’s solar operation does not mean compromise. The system delivers the same level of reliability as traditional power-fed CCTV, with advanced energy storage that keeps cameras and communication systems active through all seasons and conditions.
Key features include:
- High-capacity battery storage for continuous operation during low light
- Smart power management that optimises energy use in real time
- Quiet, emission-free performance that suits both urban and rural locations
- Remote diagnostics for efficient monitoring and maintenance
This combination of sustainable power and high reliability ensures EcoWatch provides long-term resilience while keeping environmental impact to a minimum.
A responsible choice for the future
As businesses face increasing scrutiny over their environmental impact, EcoWatch represents a practical step towards responsible operations. By choosing renewable, solar-based security, organisations demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practice while maintaining strong, uninterrupted protection for their people and assets.
Beyond compliance, the system also helps clients strengthen their corporate reputation, aligning with modern expectations for environmental responsibility and innovation.
