Secure 5G CCTV — WireGuard VPN Cameras with Fortix AI (UK)
5G cameras that dial home over an encrypted WireGuard tunnel — no open ports, no static IP — with Fortix AI watching every frame.
Most remote-camera deployments make a risky trade: to view a 4G/5G camera from head office you either expose it to the internet with port-forwarding, or pay for a fixed static-IP SIM — both of which widen the attack surface and add cost. Our secure connected cameras close that gap. Each 5G camera runs a built-in WireGuard VPN client, so on power-up it dials out and establishes an encrypted tunnel back to your network or our managed hub — no inbound ports, no static IP, and the camera is never directly reachable from the public internet. On top of that secure link, Fortix AI turns footage into outcomes: industry-trained models watch every frame for intrusion, fire and smoke, ANPR, PPE and more, flagging incidents with timestamped evidence. The result is a camera that's hard to attack, simple to connect and genuinely intelligent — ideal for construction, utilities, critical infrastructure and any multi-site estate where the security of the surveillance itself matters.
Key features
- Built-in WireGuard VPN Client. Each camera runs a WireGuard client and dials out to establish a modern, encrypted tunnel — no port-forwarding, no inbound firewall holes, and no static-IP SIM required.
- No Public Exposure. Because the camera initiates the connection outbound, it's never directly reachable from the internet — closing off the scanning and brute-force attacks that plague exposed 4G cameras.
- Fortix AI Analytics. Industry-trained AI models run on the secure feed — intrusion, fire & smoke, ANPR, PPE, anti-social behaviour and more — flagging incidents the moment they happen, in technology partnership with Fortix AI.
- 5G / 4G Connectivity. High-bandwidth 5G (with 4G fallback) for smooth live streaming and fast clip retrieval anywhere there's mobile coverage — no fixed line needed.
- Central, Encrypted Viewing. All cameras tunnel back to one place — your VMS/NVR or our managed hub — so multi-site estates are viewed and managed centrally over encrypted links, not a patchwork of port-forwards.
- Solar & Redeployable. Available in solar and battery configurations for off-grid and temporary sites — the secure tunnel and AI travel with the camera wherever it's redeployed.
Why the security of your security cameras matters
Internet-exposed cameras are among the most-attacked devices on the public internet — default-credential botnets, firmware exploits and brute-force scanning hit them constantly. A hijacked camera isn't just a privacy breach; it's a foothold on your network and, on a site, a blind spot an intruder can exploit. Yet the two common ways to get remote access to a 4G camera — port-forwarding and static-IP SIMs — both deliberately make the camera reachable from the internet.
A WireGuard VPN client on the camera flips the model: the camera reaches out to you over a modern encrypted tunnel, and is otherwise invisible. You get the remote viewing and central management you need, usually on a cheaper standard SIM, without ever publishing the camera to the world. Layer Fortix AI on top and the same secure feed also becomes proactive — watching for the events you care about instead of just recording them.
Frequently asked questions
How does the WireGuard VPN on the camera work?
Each camera runs a WireGuard client built into the firmware. On power-up it dials outbound and establishes an encrypted tunnel to your network or our managed hub. Because the connection is outbound, you don't need to forward any ports on the camera side, and you don't need a static-IP SIM — the camera is simply never directly reachable from the public internet.
Why not just use a static-IP SIM and port-forwarding?
Both expose the camera to the internet. Port-forwarding opens an inbound hole that gets scanned and attacked within hours; static-IP SIMs make the camera a fixed, findable target and cost more per month. A WireGuard tunnel gives you remote access with none of that exposure — and usually on a cheaper standard SIM.
What is Fortix AI and what can it detect?
Fortix AI is our video-analytics partner. Their industry-trained models run on the secure camera feed and detect events like intrusion, fire and smoke, ANPR/number-plate, PPE compliance, weapons, anti-social behaviour and occupancy — flagging incidents in real time with timestamped video evidence. See our Fortix AI page for the full platform detail.
Does the AI run on the camera or in the cloud?
Fortix AI is hybrid — a Fortix edge box handles real-time inference on-site so video doesn't have to leave your network, while a cloud dashboard delivers live feeds, alerts and incident management. The cameras connect to it over the same secure approach.
Can these run off-grid?
Yes — they're available in solar and battery configurations, so they suit remote and temporary sites. The WireGuard tunnel and Fortix AI work the same whether the camera is mains-powered on a building or solar-powered on a pole in a field.
