Surveillance Tower
Self-supporting camera towers for real-time video monitoring, available in height options from 5 to 40 meters
Surveillance towers are tall steel structures designed to support cameras, sensors, lighting, and communication equipment. They are typically built using angel steel or tube steel, with hot-dip galvanized protection for long-term corrosion resistance. The monitoring tower is engineered to withstand wind speeds above 37.9m/s (equivalent to Beaufort scale level 12) and can remain in service for up to 30 years. Core components include the tower body, working platform, access ladder, and lighting fixtures.
Surveillance towers are used for forest and grassland fire monitoring, enabling early detection and reporting of fire risks. They are also applied in all-weather environmental monitoring, border security, highway surveillance, industrial-park management, meteorological observation, and tourist-area monitoring. Some configurations integrate communication functions and can support antennas to extend coverage.

Wide monitoring coverage
With its elevated structure, a surveillance tower provides broad viewing angles and reduces blind spots across large areas.
Continuous and stable operation
Unlike mobile monitoring equipment, the tower supports uninterrupted, all-weather surveillance, ensuring consistent monitoring performance.
Lower long-term maintenance cost
Compared with frequently operated drones, surveillance towers require less routine maintenance. This keeps long-term expenses predictable and easier to manage.
Smart system integration
The tower can support intelligent analysis systems that identify abnormal activity, track flow patterns, and help optimize resource allocation.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is used to shape the steel components through focused beam cutting and assisted gas removal. The process offers fast cutting speed and high dimensional accuracy (up to ±0.05 mm), while keeping heat impact to a minimum. This reduces the risk of deformation and results in clean, well-defined edges.
CNC Punching and Shearing
Steel angles are processed through CNC-controlled punching and shearing lines. Automatic feeding, positioning, punching, and cutting are all integrated into the process, keeping production running smoothly and efficiently. Precise CNC positioning keeps quality consistent, even when working with more complex parts.
Hot-Dip Galvanizing and Surface Protection
The tower is protected with hot-dip galvanizing as the main anti-corrosion treatment, along with an extra plastic coating for added protection. The zinc layer protects the steel from rust and adds strength, while the coating gives extra insulation and surface protection. This combined treatment allows the tower to maintain reliable performance for over 20 years and adapt well to harsh environments such as high and low temperatures, coastal areas, and mountainous regions.
