A streetlight
that understands
the street.
Each pole is a piece of smart-city infrastructure: no trench, no grid connection. Talos II runs entirely off its own solar panel and carries a PTZ AI camera with an on-board edge computer that turns what it sees into traffic counts, movement patterns and alerts.
One pole.
Four modules.
Talos II is a modular assembly, not a fixed product. Every unit shares the same slim pole and mounting beam; the payload above it is specified per project. Select a module in the viewer to isolate it.
Photovoltaic panel & battery
A tiltable monocrystalline panel charges an integrated LiFePO₄ pack sized to carry the light, the camera and the edge computer through the night and a run of overcast days. The pole is fully independent of the grid.
Module 02 — VisionPTZ AI CCTV camera
An 8 MP pan-tilt-zoom dome with DarkFighter low-light imaging and 120 dB WDR, so plates and faces survive headlight glare and deep shadow. Deep-learning classification separates people from vehicles on the sensor feed.
Module 03 — ComputeOn-board AI edge box
Inference runs on the pole. Video is analysed where it is captured, so the link carries counts, tracks and events on top of a continuous video stream, while more complicated analysis is processed in the back‑end server.
Module 04 — Connectivity4G IoT lighting control
A 4G LTE Cat 1 IoT light control unit communicates with the cloud‑based Central Management Platform, monitoring and controlling the light’s operation.
The most powerful and durable solar light
Standing apart with its originality and solid construction, Talos II seamlessly integrates large solar panels and battery to provide real, continuous power to the luminaire, the CCTV and the AI box for long operating hours — all by harnessing the power of the sun. Drag to walk round the joint.
Lights the street
on its own power.
E-Lite began as a solar streetlight manufacturer, and Talos II keeps that foundation. The entire pole — light, camera, radio and AI — is powered by the panel above it. Deployment does not wait for a grid connection or a trench.
No trench, no cable run
Civil works are the dominant cost and the dominant delay in street lighting. An off-grid pole removes both, which makes retrofit corridors, perimeter roads, parks and industrial sites viable at a fraction of the programme cost.
Adaptive dimming
Output follows a schedule, an astronomical clock, or the camera itself: hold a low baseline on an empty street and lift to full output when the pole detects an approaching vehicle or pedestrian. Energy saved extends autonomy.
It doesn't record.
It understands.
A conventional CCTV pole produces video that someone has to watch. Talos II produces structured data: how many vehicles, with what number plate, and what type of violation; how many people, where they gathered, how long they stayed.
Vehicle counting, ANPR
& violation detection
Vehicular movement monitored across junctions and roadway segments — counted, plated, and checked against the rules of the road, with evidence captured at the moment of the offence rather than retrieved from footage afterwards.
Crowd counting
& density
Real-time visibility of population density and movement across public spaces, events and government facilities — so crowd safety is managed while it is forming, and resource planning rests on measured footfall rather than estimates.
Facial recognition,
person of interest
Real-time identification, verification and tracking of individuals across monitored areas — at a single restricted zone, or across the whole pole network to establish how someone moved through it.
Everything the pole can be asked to watch for
Classification, plate reading and face matching all run on the edge box, so the backhaul carries events, counts and the occasional evidence frame rather than continuous video. For counting work — vehicles, footfall, crowd density — the pole can be configured to emit numbers only, with no identifying imagery retained at all. ANPR, violation evidence and facial recognition are regulated capabilities and are a different matter: they capture identifying data by design. They are supplied enabled only where the operating authority holds the legal basis for them, and E-Lite recommends that retention limits, audit logging, access control and a lawful-basis assessment are agreed before commissioning rather than after. Which modules are licensed is set per project.
Every pole
has its own connectivity.
Each Talos II has its own 4G connection, straight to the cloud platform. No gateway to install, no mesh to plan, no neighbour to depend on — one pole on a rural road connects exactly the way a hundred across a city do.
4G, pole by pole
Every pole connects over the 4G network directly to the iNET Central Management Platform. Events, counts, health telemetry and on-demand video clips share that one link, and there is no fixed line to the pole, matching its off-grid power design.
Nothing in between
No gateway to site, power or maintain, and no radio mesh to plan. Add a pole anywhere with 4G coverage and it is managed on the same platform as the rest; take one down for maintenance and no other pole notices.
Open interfaces
The camera speaks ONVIF Profile S/G/T, ISAPI and a documented SDK, so the pole drops into an existing VMS or city platform rather than demanding its own.
