Is there any product in the market that can produce lighting at the tower base which is using the induced emf or capacitive type energy from the energized EHV lines?

I was thinking why we can't utilize the free power from EHV lines (not direct tapping) to light up tower base and install some survelience cameras for security purpose ? How does utility companies fighting the sabotage or stolen of tower member case in their transmission system ? Is welding of bolt & nut a common practice ? Appreciate your valuable inputs.
