Vision Link

What Vision Link does

Vision Link Ltd is a privately held UK engineering company, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Lymington, Hampshire, that designs, manufactures, and supports bespoke solar-powered remote monitoring systems. The company's portfolio combines 4G/LTE and NB-IoT camera systems with telemetry modules including a tipping-bucket weather station, a hydrostatic water level sensor, LoRa long-range radio nodes, and proprietary rail-specific Track Locator software that translates GPS coordinates into Network Rail ELR codes. All hardware is engineered and assembled in-house at a UK facility using a long-standing UK PCB supplier; software services and data hosting are entirely UK-based to meet UK GDPR and public-sector security requirements. Two smartphone apps — System Viewer for professional users and a free Community Viewer for community flood groups — provide mobile access to live feeds, telemetry, and Environment Agency flood alerts.

The company sells hardware on a quote-based basis with 24-month SIM connectivity contracts, recurring server/hosting fees, and optional professional installation, producing a mixed hardware-plus-recurring revenue model. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales into large infrastructure operators (Network Rail, Environment Agency, South Eastern Railway, HS2), community-led grassroots adoption through free apps for local flood groups, and channel partnerships (e.g., Farson Digital Watercams). Customers span central government, county councils, community flood organisations, and private environmental-monitoring operators, with hundreds of cumulative installations across the UK. Vision Link holds ISO 9001 and UK GDPR certifications, PCI-DSS compliant payment processing, and operates without disclosed external institutional investors or parent entities.

Products and services

• Solar LTE Pro Camera System Solar-powered 4G/LTE-enabled camera system with infrared capability for 24/7 remote monitoring. Self-contained units with integrated photovoltaic panels and battery storage for continuous operation without mains power, designed for infrastructure monitoring in remote locations.
• LTE Pro Weather Station Professional solar-powered weather station combining a mechanical tipping bucket rain gauge (0.1mm resolution, dual-bucket design), three-cup anemometer (0-60 m/s), wind direction sensor, and integrated water level input, with data sampled every second and transmitted via 4G LTE at fifteen-minute intervals.
• Hydrostatic Level Sensor Water level sensor using hydrostatic pressure technology to measure true water depth. Solid-state design with no moving parts, immune to foam, turbulence, condensation, or mist, suitable for culverts, rivers, reservoirs, flood defences, and irrigation applications.
• System Viewer App Professional smartphone application for commercial customers including field teams, maintenance engineers, and site managers, providing live camera feeds, real-time telemetry data, integrated Environment Agency flood alerts, interactive maps with flood warning zones, and river level graphs. Available on iOS and Android.
• Community Viewer App Free smartphone application for public users, community flood groups, and local councils offering simplified access to live camera snapshots, real-time telemetry from water level sensors, Environment Agency flood alerts, flood warning maps, and river level graphs. Available on iOS and Android at no cost.
• Track Locator GPS-based location intelligence system that translates device coordinates into Network Rail's standard referencing system, providing ELR codes, track mileage in miles and chains, and nearest authorised access point identification. Images are watermarked with ELR, track mileage, and timestamp.
• LR91 Lithium Batteries High-performance lithium batteries for remote monitoring equipment, IoT sensors, and LoRa-based devices. Features higher energy density than alkaline, superior cold-weather performance, and safer alternative to lithium thionyl chloride cells.
