Holiday Park & Caravan Park CCTV

Holiday parks are big, open and seasonal — entrance barriers a long way from the office, storage compounds at the far boundary, and a closed season when the whole site goes quiet. Solar 4G cameras cover those spots without digging a single cable trench, and keep reporting to your phone from November to March.

Why parks outgrow wired CCTV

A wired system that covers reception rarely stretches to the places incidents actually happen — and extending it means groundworks across pitches, roads and drainage.

Entrances and barriers

Tailgating through the barrier, out-of-hours arrivals and fly-tipping at the gateway all happen at the point of the park furthest from anyone watching.

The closed season

Many parks shut over winter. Empty statics, drained facilities and unattended compounds make a quiet park a target precisely when staff are not there.

Storage compounds

Touring caravan and boat storage areas hold hundreds of thousands of pounds of other people’s property — and owners expect them watched.

Trenching is a non-starter

Running armoured cable across a landscaped, occupied park costs more than the cameras and tears up the grounds guests pay for.

How solar 4G cameras work across a park

Each camera is self-contained — its own solar power, its own 4G connection — so coverage goes wherever the problem is, not wherever the ducting runs.

  1. Start at the pinch pointsA camera on the entrance barrier, one on the storage compound, one at the far service gate. Poles, buildings and lighting columns all work with the included fixings.
  2. No groundworks, no disruptionNothing is trenched, so cameras can go up mid-season without closing pitches or digging up roadways — and move if the layout changes.
  3. Every camera in one appWardens and managers view all cameras in the CamHipro app, with person and vehicle alerts for out-of-hours movement. The app can run on several staff phones.
  4. Winter is coveredThe 26W panel and 15,600mAh battery are specified for UK conditions, so cameras keep watching through the closed season when the park is empty and mains to remote corners may be isolated.

For park operators — and for owners on their own pitch

Operators use these cameras as infrastructure: barrier coverage, compound coverage, an answer for the owner who asks what security the park actually has. Local recording to each camera’s included 64GB card means no per-camera cloud fees across the site, and the 30-day guarantee makes it easy to trial one camera on the compound before standardising.

There is a second audience on every park: owners of individual statics and lodges. With the park’s permission, an owner can mount a compact solar camera on their own pitch and check their van through the winter from home — no power hook-up needed while the season is off. It is a neat upsell for park shops and a common request we hear directly. Our static caravan owner’s guide walks through exactly this setup.

If your park has a fishing lake or slipway, the same approach extends there — see our pages for fishing lakes and marinas and boatyards.

Operators: where cameras cover areas used by guests and staff, display CCTV signage naming the site operator and keep footage access limited to nominated staff. Straightforward to do, and it keeps your coverage on the right side of UK guidance.

Holiday park CCTV questions, answered

Can we cover the entrance barrier without running cable to it?

Yes. The camera mounts to a pole or column by the barrier, powers itself from the included 26W solar panel and connects over 4G — no ducting, no trenching, no electrician.

Will cameras keep working when the park closes for winter?

Yes. Solar 360 Mini is designed around UK winter light, records locally to its memory card and sends alerts over 4G, so a closed park stays watched even with buildings shut down.

Can owners fit a camera on their own pitch?

With the park operator’s permission, yes — a solar camera needs no hook-up, so it keeps watching a static or lodge through the closed season. Owners should angle cameras at their own pitch only.

How many cameras does a park need?

Most parks start with two or three: entrance, storage compound, and the most remote corner or service gate. Because there is no cabling, adding more later is trivial.

Do we pay monthly per camera?

No compulsory cloud fees — each camera records to its own included 64GB card (expandable to 256GB). Your only running cost is SIM data per camera.
