Large-scale events present unique security challenges, from managing crowd behaviour to protecting valuable infrastructure and monitoring health and safety. With thousands of people on-site and temporary layouts, real-time visibility is essential.
WCCTV provides temporary CCTV systems purpose-built for event environments. Whether it’s a music festival, sporting event or conference, our cameras deliver high-quality video coverage with minimal setup.
All systems are available on a flexible rental basis and backed by a fully managed service. That includes installation, live video monitoring, ongoing maintenance and access to footage via our mobile and desktop platforms. Wherever your event takes place, WCCTV provides reliable, proactive protection.
Temporary Security for Events of All Sizes
From festivals and concerts to public gatherings and major sporting events, high-footfall environments demand a clear and immediate view of what’s happening.
WCCTV’s temporary CCTV systems provide event organisers with powerful tools to monitor security, crowd behaviour and infrastructure in real time.
Our rapid deployment units are purpose-built for live events. They’re fast to install, easy to reposition and capable of delivering high-quality footage across wide areas.

Our CCTV Towers can be provided with autonomous power options, including renewable solar energy backed by eco-friendly methanol fuel cells to adapt to any environment.

Total Coverage for Any Event
WCCTV’s mobile CCTV towers are designed to secure large, complex, and fast-moving event environments.
They’re widely used at music festivals, sports fixtures, conventions, political summits, public demonstrations, stadiums and large outdoor rallies.
The towers offer high-definition multi-camera coverage, infrared motion detection, and live audio address to deter unwanted activity.
Optional ANPR integrations support vehicle access control for event logistics and restricted zones. All footage is accessible via desktop and mobile, with our NSI Gold accredited partners providing real-time video monitoring.
Fully self-powered through solar and battery technology, towers can also be backed up with fuel cell or generator options. No fixed internet or power is required.
Systems are available to rent and come with a managed service that includes installation, live monitoring, maintenance, and remote diagnostics. Wherever your event takes place, WCCTV provides scalable, visible protection that keeps everything under control.
Extend Your Coverage With a PID Unit
The WCCTV Hornet is a portable perimeter intrusion detection (PID) system built to complement our CCTV towers at events. It’s ideal for covering temporary, high-risk, or restricted areas that fall outside a tower’s camera range.
Deployed to monitor plant compounds, staff-only access points, service roads, backstage zones, or temporary infrastructure like broadcast cabins and ticket booths, the Hornet helps eliminate coverage gaps.
Each unit features infrared motion detection, high-visibility strobe lighting, and an optional voice-down speaker. When triggered, the Hornet delivers an immediate visual and audible response and alerts monitoring teams in real time.
It’s solar powered with battery backup, can be installed in minutes, and is easy to reposition as event layouts evolve. The Hornet connects seamlessly to your WCCTV system, extending your coverage without adding another tower or increasing personnel.

Industry approved solutions
Proactive Threat Detection and Crowd Protection
Martyn’s Law is a UK legislation inspired by Martyn Hett, a victim of the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017. The law aims to strengthen security measures at event venues to counter and effectively respond to terrorist threats.
WCCTV’s rapid deployment CCTV systems play a key role in helping event organisers comply with Martyn’s Law by delivering:
Real-time visual oversight to help security teams detect suspicious behaviour early
Integrated audio address capabilities to issue live instructions and safety messages to attendees
Instant alerts to monitoring teams when unusual activity is detected
Recorded footage to support investigations and training
In the event of a threat, response teams can act decisively. The ability to coordinate across sites and broadcast warnings or evacuation instructions helps protect attendees and maintain control.
These measures support your duty to assess and mitigate risks, ensuring public safety remains at the forefront of your event security strategy.
Securing One of the World’s Most High-Profile Events
WCCTV was selected to provide mobile surveillance for COP26, a globally significant political summit hosted in Glasgow.
Working alongside multiple police forces, local authorities and site contractors, we deployed a network of 57 rapid deployment CCTV towers to deliver comprehensive video coverage.
Our systems were positioned around road closures, pedestrian routes, restricted zones and key access points to provide 24/7 visibility and ensure public safety.
All units were backed by live monitoring, giving police teams instant access to footage and the ability to coordinate incident response in real time, and WCCTV engineers remained on site and on-call throughout the entire event.
The system played a critical role in helping manage large crowds, control access and de-escalate potential issues during the 12-day event.
