IRONNODE / INDUSTRIES / CONSTRUCTION

Industries · Construction

Security, safety & connectivity for the jobsite.

Construction sites are prime targets for theft and the leading site for worker deaths — yet most greenfield sites have no power, no network and no eyes on the ground. IronNode fills that gap with a rented solar tower that deploys day one and watches the whole site, 24/7.

Protect the site from day one // 01

Coverage the moment ground breaks.

Guards run thousands a month; trailer CCTV needs a truck and power that isn't there yet. IronNode is a standalone, off-grid node that covers the whole site on its own — or fills the gaps in what you already run.

Off-grid reliability

Solar + dual batteries keep units online day and night — no utility power. Starlink / 5G keeps live access anywhere.

Night vision for the dirt

HD/4K visible plus thermal/IR sees in total darkness and through dust, fog and glare.

Edge AI & rapid response

On-tower AI reads behavior, triggers audio talk-downs and escalates to your team in seconds.

Built for harsh sites

IP-rated hardware on a 50 mph wind-rated carbon mast — seven years of field-hardened generations.

Proof at the perimeter

PTZ, panoramic and thermal cameras secure entry points, laydown yards and the fence line.

Share with responders

Optional live video sharing and remote camera access for police and public-safety partners.

Tailored for the jobsite // 02

Features built for construction security.

Every capability rides on the same rented tower — no extra trailers, no wiring, no site prep.

Rapid response

Alert & AI talk-down

When AI flags a threat, the tower issues an audio warning and escalates to your team or a monitoring partner.

Perimeter

Intrusion detection

Draw geofences around laydown yards and entries; get alerts the instant someone crosses after hours.

Safety

AI safety detection

Computer vision flags missing guardrails, fall risks and PPE gaps in seconds — with a time-stamped audit trail.

Deterrence

Floodlights

Motion-triggered lighting spotlights suspicious activity and makes early or late work safer.

Communicate

Loudspeakers

Broadcast live or automated messages to warn off intruders or call out unsafe behavior in real time.

Deploy

Rapid, mobile setup

One person stands a tower up in under three minutes — no concrete, wiring or internet. Move it as the site evolves.

Visibility

4K + thermal cameras

High-resolution visible and thermal imaging cover the site in any light or weather.

Connect

Site-wide connectivity

Starlink and 5G failover plus mesh WiFi bring network to every tablet, tool and sensor from the dirt phase on.

Prevent jobsite theft // 03

Stop losses before they happen.

Equipment, copper and materials walk off unsecured sites every year. A visible, always-on tower turns a soft target into a watched perimeter — deterring criminals, capturing evidence, covering the site after crews go home.

  • Protect equipment, tools and materials
  • Deter criminals with lights, audio & presence
  • Record time-stamped evidence for claims
  • Monitor deliveries, crews and subcontractors
  • Deter loitering and after-hours access

Beyond security // 05

See your whole project.

The same cameras that secure the site build a visual record of it. Generate time-lapses for owners and investors, track milestones, resolve disputes, and document safety compliance — without anyone driving out to the site.

  • Track progress & milestones — a continuous visual timeline of the build
  • Resolve disputes with time-stamped evidence — delivery, damage, safety

Operations // 06

Manage deliveries & crews from anywhere.

Know the instant a delivery arrives or a crew shows up. Get a motion alert on your phone, confirm the lumber landed, and schedule your framers within minutes.

Your site is constantly evolving, and the fleet keeps pace — easily deployed, scaled and repositioned as the build changes. Cameras, sensors, lights, speakers, AI and connectivity ride on one tower, with no drilling, wiring or heavy install. The hardware stays on our balance sheet.

FAQ // 07

Frequently asked questions.

What is an IronNode tower and how does it work?+

It's a portable, self-contained solar tower with AI cameras and edge computing that deploys to a site in minutes. Unlike fixed systems that need permanent power and network, it runs off-grid and independently — ideal for greenfield sites with no infrastructure.

How is this different from hiring security guards?+

A tower watches the whole site at once, day and night, from more vantage points than a guard can cover — and it never takes a break. It deters, detects and documents around the clock, typically at a fraction of the cost of a staffed post.

How fast can a tower be deployed?+

One person can stand a tower up in under three minutes — no concrete, wiring, trenching or internet connection. We deliver it, position it, and it's working the same day.

Can I access footage remotely?+

Yes. Live and recorded footage is available anytime from the mobile app or web dashboard — view alerts, control cameras and manage the whole fleet from your phone or tablet.

How does it reduce false alarms?+

Edge AI scores each event's confidence and combines multiple signals before it alerts, and human review verifies anything ambiguous — so you're notified about genuine threats, not passing wildlife or weather.

Does it run on solar for the whole project?+

Yes. Solar and dual batteries provide multi-day autonomous runtime, engineered to carry through low-sun periods and short winter days without a grid connection.

Is it weather-resistant?+

Towers are IP-rated and built to operate year-round through rain, snow, dust and heat, on a 50 mph wind-rated mast — with remote monitoring so no one has to visit the site in bad conditions.

Can towers move between jobsites?+

Yes. Units are van-portable and repositioned as the site evolves. Because it's a rental, we deliver towers when your project needs them and collect them when it's done.

How does it help with liability and insurance?+

Continuous, time-stamped footage stored in the cloud documents safety incidents and site conditions — helping meet insurer requirements and resolve claims with evidence rather than recollection.
