Pole-Mounted Security Camera Hire

A 4MP pan-tilt site camera mounted high on your temporary power pole. Powered from your meter box up a secured in-pole cable with battery backup, it comes online when your pole is energised. Mount on our pole during install, or hire the camera alone for your own pole, fence, or structure.

Power Pole

Adding a camera to your temporary power pole is the most cost-effective way to protect your construction site — we mount it during pole install and run the power up a secured cable inside the pole, so there's no extra ground prep. Already have a pole or fixed structure on site? Hire just the camera unit and attach it yourself. Either way you get elevated, pan-tilt surveillance with live app access and motion-triggered alerts on your phone. Need eyes on site before your power's connected? Add a standalone solar pole — it works from day one.

What is a power pole-mounted security camera?

Our pole-mounted security camera attaches directly to your temporary power pole, giving your construction site elevated surveillance without taking up any ground space. Mounted high on the pole, the 4MP pan-tilt camera provides a wide field of view that covers access points, equipment storage, and material delivery zones.

Power runs from your meter box up a secured cable inside the pole — with no interference to the metered supply — and a battery backup covers short interruptions, so the camera comes online once your pole is energised. It connects via 4G (no site Wi-Fi) and gives you live streaming, smart motion detection, two-way audio, an active-defence siren and light, and full-colour night vision through a dedicated mobile app on iOS and Android.

Pole-mounted cameras are the most cost-effective way to add security to a site that already has one of our temporary power poles. There's no additional ground preparation and no separate pole to position, and installation happens at the same time as your pole — or can be added later to an existing pole. For coverage before your power's connected, or for blind spots the pole camera can't reach, add a standalone solar pole.

Where do you install pole-mounted security cameras?

We service all major regions across South East Queensland with fast turnaround times.

Each camera includes a 4G SIM, so there's no site Wi-Fi to arrange. Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast camera hire is available by enquiry — call us to check availability.

Pole-mounted security camera hire FAQs

Security camera hire is straightforward, but every site is different. Here are answers to the questions we hear most from builders and project managers.

Can the camera be added to an existing power pole?
Yes. If you already have one of our temporary power poles on site, we can add a camera unit at any time. The camera mounts directly to the pole using a dedicated bracket — no additional ground space needed.
How is the pole-mounted camera powered?
It runs off your pole's mains supply. We feed power from the meter box up a secured cable inside the pole, with no interference to the metered supply, and a battery backup covers short power interruptions. The camera comes online once your pole is energised by the power company. If you need footage before power is connected, add a standalone solar pole — it works from day one.
What height is the camera mounted at?
Cameras are mounted high on the power pole — typically around 6 to 7 metres. This elevated position provides a wide field of view across the site while making the camera difficult to tamper with or steal.
Can I view footage on my phone?
Yes. You get full access to our mobile app on iOS and Android. You can view live footage, review recordings, receive instant motion alerts, and download clips — all from your phone or computer.
Is there a discount for bundling camera with power pole hire?
Yes. When you hire a security camera with a temporary power pole, you benefit from a single installation visit and combined pricing. Contact us for a bundled quote.
What happens to the footage when the hire ends?
All footage is stored on the camera's local SD card (up to 512GB). Before we remove the camera, you can download any footage you need through the app. We recommend downloading important footage before collection day.
Should I also get a standalone solar pole?
Many sites run both. The pole-mounted camera is the cost-effective way to watch your compound and entry once power's on, while a standalone solar pole adds day-one coverage, a fixed camera locked on your gate, and a roaming PTZ camera for areas the pole camera can't see. Together they leave no blind spots — ask us for a combined quote.

Our two camera setups are designed to work together. The pole-mounted camera is a low-cost way to watch the compound and entry once your power's on; the standalone solar pole gives you day-one coverage and a fixed gate camera plus a roaming PTZ for everywhere else.
