Rapid deployment CCTV towers are the latest technology to take the security industry in the UK by storm providing instant CCTV whenever and wherever it is needed.
A trust hire CCTV tower allows businesses, car parks, construction sites and void properties to be monitored remotely from anywhere in the world and alert local security professionals to any security breaches that occur.
They don’t need to be connected to the mains or a generator using wires as they are completely battery powered and can be charged using the built-tin solar panel in many cases.
Installing a CCTV tower is far cheaper than a fixed CCTV system and you’ll only pay for as long as you need your CCTV in place. As soon as the situation changes you will be able to have the CCTV tower removed and most competent security companies will do o in just a few minutes once on the site.
What is a CCTV tower?
A CCTV tower is a temporary unit designed to provide low-cost, zero hassle CCTV monitoring on any site at short notice and for as long as required.
These towers tend to stand around 5-7m tall with a poll protruding from a metal housing base that contains the battery unit. The best systems are powered by solar panels or have a long-lasting battery that won’t need to be replaced for a long period of time. This allows vacant sites to be left unattended for days or weeks at a time.
CCTV towers are usually brightly coloured so they can easily be seen from a distance and act as a great deterrent against intruders with any sense about them.
CCTV towers come with all the features and advantages that you would expect from any modern CCTV system including being able to look at live images from your phone and being automatically alerted when a security breach is detected on the site.
CCTV towers can be deployed on their own, or as part of a larger security system made up of multiple towers, alarm systems, access control gates and more.
If you are unsure if a single tower will be enough to protect your site or if you need multiple, get in touch with a professional security firm today. They will conduct a risk assessment of your site to determine what the main security threats you face are and how many CCTV towers are needed to tackle them.
Are CCTV towers are replacement for security guards?
They can be. This is certainly one advantage of security CCTV towers but these two highly effective security measures can also work extremely well in tandem.
If someone does find their way onto your property, for example, having a security guard on site as well means that you can intercept them in real-time rather than having to use the footage in retrospect to help the police find them. That said, with alarm monitoring in place you can do this without a security guard employed 24/7.
