Safety Eye Bollard

Move your site security as the risk moves

The Safety Eye Bollard is a low-level, wireless and battery-operated camera platform that can be manoeuvred around your site.

Use it to protect machinery, watch a changing work area or secure a gate overnight, then move it when access is needed or the focus of the site changes.

No power leads. No fixed installation. No need to leave the camera in one position as the site develops.

Security that follows the work

Temporary and active sites rarely stay the same for long.

Machinery moves. Materials are delivered. Access routes change. New structures can obstruct an area that was previously visible.

A fixed camera may be in the right place today and the wrong place next week.

The Safety Eye Bollard gives you a practical alternative. It can be moved to the area, asset or access point that needs attention, helping you adapt your security position as work progresses.

Use the bollard to:

  • Protect a particular machine or item of equipment
  • Provide visible security near a site entrance or gate
  • Move coverage as activity progresses across the site
  • Reposition the camera when its existing view becomes obstructed
  • Add temporary monitoring without power leads or a fixed camera installation

  • 360 cover from three HD cameras

  • Watch live from anywhere on 4G

  • Clear day and night vision

  • Short-term, rapid hire

  • Recorded locally and to the cloud

Before the Safety Eye Bollard

The security position stays fixed while the site changes

  • Machinery and materials move beyond the camera’s useful view
  • New work can obstruct an existing camera position
  • Temporary areas may not justify a fixed installation
  • Gate security can become inconvenient during working hours
  • Power and cabling may not be available where protection is needed
  • A camera may cover yesterday’s risk rather than today’s

With the Safety Eye Bollard

Move the camera to the area that needs protecting

  • Reposition it as work progresses
  • Move it beside machinery or another vulnerable asset
  • Place it on the protected side of a site gate overnight
  • Move it away when the gate needs to open
  • Operate without electrical leads
  • Change the security position without installing a permanent system

Designed to be moved around the site

The bollard is supplied with two slide-in wheels and a handle. To move it, the bollard is tipped forward slightly, the wheels are inserted, and the unit can then be manoeuvred in a similar way to a sack barrow.

This makes it suitable where the camera may need to move regularly rather than remaining in one fixed position.

A typical gate-security routine

At the end of the working day, the bollard can be positioned behind the site gate as a visible deterrent. When work begins the following morning, it can be moved out of the access route so that vehicles and personnel can enter the site.

The same principle applies to machinery and equipment. When the item being protected moves, the bollard can move with it.

Freestanding, wireless and battery operated

The Safety Eye Bollard does not depend on a mains power lead or a fixed wired connection. It is:

  • Freestanding
  • Wireless
  • Battery operated
  • Designed for temporary and changing sites
  • Fitted with camera tracking
  • Intended to provide 360-degree monitoring

Because it is not tied to a cable or permanent camera position, you can choose where it is needed and change that decision as the site develops.

Practical monitoring for temporary sites

Safety Eye equipment has been developed for sites where operators need to know what is happening without committing to a permanent CCTV installation. Existing Safety Eye bollards use three 1080p cameras to provide 360-degree coverage, with night-vision capability and notifications sent to an accompanying tablet when the cameras are triggered.

Available Safety Eye functionality includes:

  • High-definition video
  • Night-vision capability
  • Real-time camera notifications
  • 4G-enabled connectivity
  • Cloud storage
  • Local storage available on request
  • Siren, speaker and microphone
  • An accompanying tablet
  • Operation in temperatures from -20°C to 45°C
  • Up to 90 metres line of sight

The exact setup should be agreed around the location, intended use and area being protected.

The right fit when the security position needs to change

The Safety Eye Bollard is particularly suited to temporary, evolving or project-based sites.

Construction & demolition

Move the camera as machinery, work areas and valuable materials change position.

Infrastructure & utilities

Use temporary monitoring where work progresses through different sections of a site.

Events & temporary compounds

Add visible coverage without installing permanent camera infrastructure.

Vacant or transitional sites

Position the bollard around the area currently presenting the greatest risk.

Site entrances

Use the bollard behind a gate overnight, then move it when access is required.

Storage and equipment areas

Place the Sentry where materials, tools or equipment remain in one defined part of the site.

A flexible alternative to fixed CCTV

Permanent CCTV is usually best for a completed site with a stable layout and a long-term need. The Safety Eye Bollard is intended for a different situation.

It is useful when:

  • The site is temporary
  • The final layout is not yet known
  • The risk changes as the job progresses
  • There is no convenient mains power
  • The customer does not want a fixed camera installation
  • Equipment needs to be protected during a particular phase of work

Rather than installing a camera around the finished layout, the bollard provides temporary monitoring during the period when the site is still changing.
