AH100 Aluminium Hinged Mast - Surf Rescue Beacon

The AH100 Surf Rescue Beacon is a self-contained, solar-powered platform engineered to extend surf lifesaving coverage in remote or unmonitored coastal environments. Constructed from marine-grade aluminium, the system offers high corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh seaside conditions. Its hinged-base mast design enables straightforward servicing and rapid deployment, while the rigid, vibration-stable structure supports elevated camera and communications payloads for reliable situational awareness.

An integrated off-grid power system ensures continuous operation, featuring a 200 W high-efficiency solar array mounted at the mast head, paired with a Victron MPPT charge controller for optimal energy harvest. An 80 Ah lithium battery bank provides extended autonomy during low-sun periods, with all electrical components secured in a weather-sealed, lockable enclosure. The system can be configured with optional vision and communications packages, including HD cameras and multiple backhaul options, and integrates seamlessly with LIMSOP for live monitoring, incident response, and patrol coordination.

Designed specifically for coastal deployment, the AH100 hinged mast incorporates UV-stable powder coating, stainless steel hardware, and structural resilience against wind and salt exposure. It is suited to a range of applications, including temporary patrol setups, hazardous beach monitoring, event coverage, and environmental research.
