Magus Guard 1
Smart Protection for Utility Infrastructure
Critical utility infrastructure faces growing risks of theft, vandalism, and sabotage.
Power poles, distribution cabinets, energy meters, telecom nodes, and remote field assets need autonomous protection, especially in unstaffed locations. MAGUS Guard 1 brings intelligence to the field: real-time sensing, multi-trigger detection, and instant visual verification turn passive infrastructure into active, self-defending units.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- High-precision detection of intrusion, tampering, vibration, or tactile interaction
- Automatic image capture for visual confirmation of events
- Intelligent multi-sensor fusion using microwave detection + sensitive cable
- Reliable long-range wireless communication
- Operates independently using solar and battery power
- Designed for remote, off-grid, and harsh outdoor environments
- Discreet design suitable for public-access or urban areas
- Local event buffering ensures no lost alarms during connectivity downtime
- Fast installation on utility poles, cabinets, meters, or remote stations
- Seamless integration with MAGUS Command & Control – MAGUS CC for monitoring across utility networks
KEY CAPABILITIES
REAL-TIME ALARM DETECTION
Detects motion, vibration, touch, cutting, and tampering on high-value outdoor equipment.
VISUAL VERIFICATION
Captures timestamped images at the moment of intrusion for immediate situational awareness.
MULTI-SENSOR FUSION
Combines microwave presence detection with sensitive cable-based tactile and tamper sensing for high accuracy.
SECURE IoT COMMUNICATION
RF communication to the nearest gateway, with uplink options via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, LTE, 5G, or satellite.
APPLICATIONS
Electricity Poles & Overhead Components
Protect pole-mounted transformers, switches, and overhead network elements from sabotage or theft.
Distribution & Control Cabinets
Monitor unauthorized access, tampering, or physical interference with mission-critical electrical cabinets.
Energy Meters & Utility Measurement Points
Prevent manipulation or illegal access to gas, water, and electricity meters installed in public or remote areas.
Telecom Towers & Fiber Junctions
Enhance security at telecom infrastructure sites where cable theft or equipment damage can disrupt services.
Remote Stations, Solar Farms & Micro-Grids
Ideal for unmanned renewable energy installations exposed to remote terrain and changing weather.
Any Isolated or Critical Outdoor Asset
Flexible mounting and wireless communication allow deployment on any high-value standalone infrastructure.
How it Works
- Microwave sensor detects presence near the asset
- MiniFPS sensitive cable identifies touch, vibration, cutting, or tampering
- Camera captures an image at the event moment
- Encrypted alerts are sent via RF communication to the nearest gateway
- Gateway transmits alarms to central systems via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, LTE, 5G, or satellite
- If connectivity is temporarily unavailable, MAGUS Guard 1 buffers events locally and automatically forwards them once the network is restored
