GCX TowerGuard

Monitoring for Mobile and Solar-Powered Units

Every Tower. One Platform.

GCX TowerGuard is centralized monitoring for tower infrastructure: a live digital twin of every tower showing which devices are on it, what firmware they run, what is powering them, and what is currently wrong. It is hardware-agnostic — it surfaces whatever device types are already configured for a site rather than carrying its own compatibility list — and it is built for fleets that mix permanent, solar-powered and trailer-mounted units.

How GCX TowerGuard works. Step 1, Power: Victron and EFOY telemetry: battery, solar, fuel. Step 2, Connect: Teltonika LTE, dual-SIM, displacement and jamming. Step 3, Watch: Cameras, AI detection and SIP speak-down. Step 4, Twin: Devices, firmware, serials, power source per tower. Step 5, Route: IMMIX, AmWin, Evalink, LISA; auto-clears on recovery.

Key capabilities

A live digital twin per tower: active devices, serial numbers, firmware versions, power source and recorder type
Real-time alerts on power, connectivity and storage problems before they take a site offline
Hardware-agnostic across tower brands, including LINC and WCCTV, and next-generation drone and robot platforms
Provisioning that adds, modifies, moves and deletes towers, each with its own device list and map location
Plug-and-play deployment: sensor-level monitoring live in minutes rather than after a configuration project

Primary use cases

Unmanned tower sites monitored without anyone having to drive to them
A mixed fleet of permanent and rapid-deployment towers run from one console
Off-grid and solar sites, where power is the failure mode and video is the payload
Temporary deployments — construction, events, emergency response — that must be live the day they arrive

CMS routing targets

Type 1

Fixed surveillance

Permanent, hard-mounted, rugged, with continuous power, network, VMS and access-control integration.

Best for: critical infrastructure needing 24/7 monitoring

Type 2

Solar-powered hybrid

Self-sustained solar, battery and fuel-cell power with generator backup and proactive downtime alerts.

Best for: remote or off-grid sites with no continuous power

Type 3

Mobile towers

Trailer or vehicle mounted, mast up to 10 m, onboard generator or battery, LTE/4G/5G or satellite uplink, no fixed infrastructure.

Best for: construction, events and temporary monitoring

Type 4

Smart cloud tower

Integrated IoT sensors, cloud video storage and AI detection, with automated alerts and centralized fleet management.

Best for: estates needing real-time oversight across many sites

Architecture

Everything on the tower, one dashboard. GCX TowerGuard connects Victron and EFOY, Teltonika router, Cameras and audio to Monitoring station, Tower operators, GCX GeoView.

Technical specifications

Delivery: A cloud capability inside GCX One, multi-tenant, with per-customer fleets and plug-and-play onboarding
Access: Web dashboard and mobile app
Provisioning: Add, modify, move and delete towers, each with its own device list; optional map location and layout retention on move
Branding: White-label deployments for security service providers and enterprise customers
Device Selection: One Select Devices list per device type at the site; what is offered depends on what is already configured there
Rules: Configurable per site or per device
Lifecycle: Created, routed to the monitoring station, escalated or acknowledged, and cleared automatically when the condition resolves
Routing: IMMIX, AmWin, Evalink, LISA
Integration: Victron VRM Cloud API; MPPT solar charge controllers, battery monitors and inverters
Requirements: An active VRM portal account with administrative credentials, and a Cerbo GX or Color Control gateway
Metrics: Battery voltage and state of charge, solar charging current and input power, charger and inverter status
Events: Battery Low, Grid Failure, Inverter Fault, High Load Alert
Integration: EFOY Cloud API, with the API key set once per tenant as a custom property
Requirements: EFOY Pro controller connected, network gateway configured, EFOY Connect account
Metrics: Fuel cartridge level, output voltage, internal battery state of charge, operating temperature
Events: Low Fuel, Fuel Cell Fault, Battery Critical, Power Loss
Integration: Teltonika HTTP API; industrial LTE/4G router enrolled in Remote Management System
Requirements: Administrative credentials with API access, a reachable IP directly or over VPN, the serial number, and the control port (default 80)
Features: LTE/4G WAN, dual-SIM failover, VPN tunnels, GPS tracking, remote reboot and diagnostics
Monitoring: Signal quality (RSRP, RSRQ), SIM data usage against a configured limit, digital, analog, isolated and relay I/O state
Geofencing: Flags tower displacement against the site GPS location with a configurable radius, clearing automatically on return
Jamming Detection: Detects cellular jamming or interference from sudden signal degradation; clears when stability returns
Cameras: Hardware agnostic: ONVIF and Axis direct (RTSP/VAPIX, no recorder required), Hikvision, Mobotix, Vivotek, NetVu, Reconeyez wireless PIR, AJAX wireless camera and recorder lines
Recording: Recorder, VMS and cloud-VMS integrations from the GCX One catalogue; cloud video storage on smart cloud towers
Analytics: AI detection of people, vehicles and anomalies, with false-alarm reduction for wildlife and weather; AI-box and perimeter integrations such as Davantis, Camect and Senstar
Audio: SIP two-way speak-down during alarms, speaker zones, alarm-triggered broadcast, pre-recorded messages, conference mode
Device Scope: TowerGuard has no compatibility list of its own. It surfaces the device types already configured on the selected site, so hardware support is decided elsewhere on the platform
Licensing: A built-in platform capability with no separate licensing unit; not billed per camera, tower or site
AI Scope: Object, person and anomaly detection only. No facial recognition and no biometric identification at any stage

Getting started

Activated from the Marketplace under Towers, then a tower is provisioned per site and its devices selected from what that site already has.

01Create the siteWith correct coordinates, so the tower can be placed and geofenced against its own location
02Add the devicesTeltonika router for connectivity, Victron or EFOY for power, cameras and recorder as the payload
03Provision the towerAdd the tower, attach its device list, and place it on the map
04Set the rulesConfigure the power, connectivity and displacement alerts and confirm they route to the monitoring station
