Temporary security in the form of CCTV towers has become increasingly popular throughout Europe as a solution for vacant property protection and other areas where protection is needed in remote and challenging locations outside of working hours.

Deploying fully equipped mobile security towers enables locations and property to be monitored by self-powered CCTV high above surrounding obstacles which provides a 360–degree view of the area for an operator in a remote central station!

In this article, we explore the benefits of using mobile  CCTV towers to protect sites in the property management sector.

Why use a temporary mobile  CCTV tower?

Rapid deployment CCTV towers offer greater flexibility than fixed systems. Mobile security towers are used in a variety of property applications such as vacant property where they protect property that has no guarding or staffing on site and remote or unmanned sites with buildings on, where the cost of offering traditional security guarding is often cost prohibitive.

Temporary CCTV towers are often used on sites that change and evolve over a period of time, such as a construction site, which often have temporary buildings that have valuable computers and other equipment that would delay a project significantly if stolen or damaged. Using a temporary mobile CCTV system that can also be moved during the life cycle of the site enables continuous coverage to be achieved throughout the building project as they are easily installed, rapidly deployed, and easy to reposition during the course of a project lifetime.

The installation of mobile CCTV towers can significantly reduce the costs of securing, protecting and maintaining the value of property or assets, strengthen and improve safety and insurance compliance and lessen many negative impacts of such sites on the local community.

Rapid deployment CCTV towers are ideal for Vacant property as they offer added security measures that reduce theft and reduce the risk of injury to site visitors.

Remote Sites

Any site that has remote buildings can be better protected using a mobile CCTV tower. These towers can be self-sufficient in terms of power for long periods off-grid and can use 4G/5G communication to a video central station to ensure round-the-clock coverage and surveillance.

Typical property applications where temporary monitoring is required include vacant property sisters, social housing sites and large area sites, and construction site properties such as offices and storage areas.

Standing out from the crowd is essential in the competitive world of construction. One way to differentiate yourself is by ensuring that your materials meet internationally recognised quality and safety certifications. Two of the most important certifications in this regard are the CE and ISO marks. These certifications not only demonstrate your commitment to delivering high-quality security towers but also open doors to new markets and help you demonstrate compliance on tenders that require safety certifications.

Understanding the CE Mark

The CE mark is a mandatory certification for products that are sold in the European Economic Area (EEA). It indicates that a product has been assessed by the manufacturer and meets all the necessary health, safety, and environmental protection requirements set forth by the European Union (EU). The CE mark is a visible and indelible mark that assures customers that the product they are purchasing complies with EU regulations and meets high standards of quality and safety.

To obtain the CE mark, manufacturers (like TelescopicMast) must ensure that their products conform to all relevant EU-wide requirements. This includes conducting a thorough assessment of the product’s compliance, preparing technical documentation, and signing an EU Declaration of Conformity. In some cases, manufacturers may need to involve a notified body, an independent organisation designated by the EU, to verify their product’s compliance with technical requirements.

The benefits of CE Marked materials in construction

Using materials that bear the CE mark can provide several advantages in the construction industry. Firstly, it gives you a competitive edge when bidding for projects or tenders that require CE marked products. Many public and private institutions prioritise safety and quality and prefer to work with suppliers who can demonstrate their commitment to meeting these standards.

Secondly, CE marked products offer peace of mind to both contractors and end-users. By using certified materials, contractors can be confident that they are working with products that meet the necessary safety requirements. This reduces the risk of accidents, liability issues, and costly rework. For end-users, such as building or site owners, knowing that the materials used in their structures are CE compliant provides assurance that the products and materials on the buildings and sites are of the highest quality.

The significance of ISO Certification

In addition to the CE mark, ISO certification is another important recognition of quality and safety standards. The International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) develops and publishes international standards for various industries. ISO certification signifies that a company follows these standards and has implemented an effective quality management system.

ISO 9001 is one of the most well-known certifications and focuses on quality management. It sets the criteria for a systematic approach to quality control, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement. By obtaining ISO 9001 certification, construction companies and companies that offer security services, can demonstrate their commitment to delivering high-quality projects and satisfying customer requirements.

CE and ISO certifications have a significant impact on construction projects. Firstly, they help to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries on construction sites. By using CE marked materials and following ISO standards, construction companies can ensure that their projects meet the highest safety standards. This leads to a safer working environment for construction workers and reduces the likelihood of accidents that could cause project delays and financial losses.

Secondly, CE and ISO certifications enhance the reputation of construction companies. Clients, whether they are public institutions, public or private developers, value quality and safety in the construction process. By using certified materials and adhering to ISO standards, construction companies can build trust and credibility with their clients. This can lead to repeat business, and an enhanced reputation in the industry.

TÜV Rheinland: a trusted certification body

When it comes to obtaining the CE and ISO certifications, working with a reputable certification body is crucial. TÜV Rheinland is one such organisation that offers reliable and recognised certifications. As an accredited certification body, TÜV Rheinland assesses products and manufacturing processes to ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations.

TÜV Rheinland’s CE certification services cover a wide range of products, including machinery, electrical equipment, and construction materials. By partnering with TÜV Rheinland, construction companies can have their materials independently tested and verified for compliance with EU regulations. This not only enhances the credibility of their products but also allows them to access new markets and customers who prioritise safety and quality.

The role of CE and ISO Certifications in tender processes

Participating in tenders is a common practice in the construction industry. Many public projects require bidders to meet specific criteria, including the use of certified materials. CE and ISO certifications play a vital role in the tender process by demonstrating a bidder’s compliance with safety and quality standards.

When submitting a bid for a project, construction companies that can provide CE and ISO marked materials have a competitive advantage. These certifications act as proof that the company has the necessary systems, processes, and products in place to deliver a successful project. Tender evaluators often prioritise bidders who can demonstrate their commitment to safety, quality, and compliance with industry standards.

Expanding market access with CE and ISO Certifications

CE and ISO certifications not only enhance a construction company’s reputation but also expand its market reach. Many countries outside the EU recognise the value of CE and ISO certifications and accept them as proof of compliance with international standards. This opens up opportunities for construction companies to enter new markets and compete globally.

For example, in countries where ISO certifications are highly regarded, construction companies that hold ISO 9001 certification may have a competitive advantage over their competitors. Clients in these markets value the consistent quality and processes that come with ISO certification and are more likely to choose certified companies for their projects.

Mobile CCTV towers can be used successfully to ensure public safety and deter criminal activities in the control of public events and gatherings, such as concerts, festivals, sports events, demonstrations, political rallies, and anywhere that presents a short-term security problem. These towers can be easily moved to different locations within the event site to provide comprehensive surveillance and to monitor crowd movements, detecting potential security breaches, and allowing first responders to deal with incidents in real-time.
Surveillance offered by mobile CCTV towers helps in identifying any suspicious activities and can assist the emergency services in maintaining order and preventing security threats.

In this article, we explore the benefits of using mobile CCTV towers for crowd control and event management.

Why use a temporary mobile CCTV tower for an event?

Rapid deployment CCTV towers offer greater flexibility than fixed systems as they can be located quickly in prominent places along the route of a procession or event and then as the situation evolves, they can be relocated quickly where they are most needed to give the security operation centre greater visibility and operational control. They can be used in a variety of places around an event site, where the cost of offering traditional fixed security is often cost-prohibitive.

Temporary CCTV towers offer the benefits of being able to be moved as the challenges of event management change and evolve over a period of time, such as from the beginning of the event through to its conclusion and post-event clear-up. This enables continuous coverage to be achieved throughout the project and also negates the challenges of providing local power and cabling to CCTV cameras as the towers are normally self-sufficient.

Installation of mobile CCTV towers can significantly reduce the costs of securing, protecting and maintaining the sites as they do not need cables running power to them and can send the video images via a stream over 4G to the command control room. 

Typical applications where temporary CCTV monitoring is helpful include:

• Protecting procession through cities
• Concerts and outdoor festivals
• Vacant property protection
• Monitoring demonstrations in urban areas

In fact, anywhere that large groups of people gathering on a temporary or short-term basis can be safely protected using rapid deployment CCTV towers.

Deterrence & Prevention

The visible presence of mobile CCTV towers can deter people at events from criminal activities and other security breaches, preventing incidents before they occur. When potential criminals or intruders see mobile CCTV towers in place, they are less likely to engage in illegal or malicious activities, knowing that they are being monitored.

Busy events, especially ones where alcohol is involved, can present criminals with an opportunity for vehicle and/or personal property theft. A highly visible CCTV presence sends a clear message that someone is keeping watch.

Mobile CCTV towers can also help prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety regulations at public events and in other environments where safety is a concern. The proactive prevention of security incidents through the use of mobile CCTV towers can save time, money, and resources, while also enhancing overall security.

Any site that is remote from the main event site can be better protected using a mobile CCTV tower. These towers can be self-sufficient in terms of power for long periods off-grid and can use mobile 4G communication to a video central station to ensure round-the-clock coverage and surveillance of the entire area where the event is being held.

Key benefits of using mobile security CCTV towers for event management

The primary advantage of Mobile Security Towers is their ability to provide high-quality, real-time surveillance. This ensures clear and detailed footage, enabling you to monitor your property effectively and take immediate action in case of any suspicious activities.

Mobility and Flexibility

These towers can be easily relocated depending on the areas of greatest risk, offering the flexibility to cover different areas at different times. This mobility makes them ideal for large properties and events where static cameras may not provide sufficient coverage.

Deterrence Factor

Their overt presence acts as a significant deterrent to potential criminals. The sight of a CCTV tower often discourages trespassers and vandals, thereby preventing incidents before they occur.

Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts

Most mobile CCTV towers allow for real-time video monitoring and instant alerts. This means you can have someone monitoring the site remotely, and should an incident occur, the relevant authorities can be alerted immediately.

Cost-Effectiveness

While the initial investment might seem substantial, mobile CCTV towers are actually quite cost-effective in the long run. By preventing thefts, vandalism, and other security breaches, they save you from potential losses and liabilities. Typically they cost 70% less than guarding based alternatives.
