Did you know that by using our Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers backed by remote alarm monitoring you can save up to 88% on your security costs compared to manned guarding?
As a business you’re always looking for a high-quality security service that still remains cost-effective.
However, with security guards growing in costs due to increased minimum wage as well as other expenses, you’ll be surprised to know that CCTV Towers can save you 88% on costs in comparison to them.
And even better news, you won’t need to skimp on security as there are numerous benefits from utilising Towers that ensure multiple industries receive the high-quality service they deserve.
With this in mind, we explore the other benefits associated with CCTV Towers in comparison to security guards to help in your decision-making process regarding security.
What is a CCTV Tower?
A CCTV Tower is a mobile, freestanding Tower equipped with at least one security camera, at times more depending on the manufacturer.
Designed to support both temporary and long-term needs, CCTV Towers are customisable to your security requirements, offering 24/7 criminal deterrence, live monitoring and high-quality video recording.
Compared to other security systems, Towers have complete power autonomy and wireless connectivity which allows them to work independently from your site, building or property.
This means that those in remote locations are able to still receive security, most commonly industries like construction and vacant properties

*Based on the average weekly cost of one security guard covering a site 108 hours a week vs. the comparative weekly hire rate for a WCCTV Tower with remote monitoring.
Cost savings can increase as the more security guards required, additional hours and increased coverage will all add up, creating a large expense for your business.
Even when there are vast spaces to cover with your security, our Towers can provide expanded coverage which in turn means you require less equipment than if you were using manned guards.
What Benefits Can CCTV Towers Provide Compared to Security Guards?
The cost savings of CCTV Towers are not the only benefits available to you in comparison to security guards.
We explore briefly the other 5 main benefits of using CCTV Towers and how it enhances the security service you receive over manned guarding:
24/7/365 Live Monitoring
Security guards will often follow patrol routes which means that accurate, live monitoring cannot be provided at all times, across your full site. That’s where our Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers can support.
Due to their complete power autonomy and advanced camera tech, our Towers offer 24/7/365 live monitoring backed by remote services that work to deter, assess and respond to threats appropriately.
Compared to manned guarding, our fully-managed security service aims to mitigate any lapses in surveillance.
No need to concern yourself if someone is off sick, on holiday or on break, our CCTV Towers are always awake, always alert to provide you peace of mind on your security.
Enhanced Coverage
The human eye can only see so much, especially under cover of darkness.
Relying solely on security guards to protect your site, building or property can leave room for human error, and with no backup support to call keyholders or Police, consequences could be devastating.
Whether it be one or more security guards manning your site, the coverage will still be limited to that of what can be captured by the human eye.
However, with CCTV Towers, the IR PTZ cameras we supply offer full site coverage, day-to-night, maintaining high-quality monitoring even overnight when security risks will often be heightened.
Providing a near 360-degree view and 200 metre expanded coverage in darkness, security threats can be captured early, allowing responses to be provided in the moment.
This gives you the best chance of intercepting crime whilst active, and avoids you having to work retrospectively to resolve matters.
Provides a Consistent, Reliable Service
With security guards, there’s a risk that your site, building or property could be left vulnerable due to human error such as a lapse in concentration or tiredness.
By using our CCTV Towers, you can be reassured that you will receive a consistent, reliable service at all times.
Their complete power autonomy means there’s no reliance on you to provide a consistent power or internet source. And don’t worry we ensure to manage the maintenance side of things, providing product updates, running diagnostics checks and refuelling where necessary.
This takes the burden off you completely, allowing you to focus on your other important roles and responsibilities, whilst we handle the security.
Accurately Identifies and Responds Efficiently to Threats
False alarms can be costly to your business, responding to threats that turn out to be a wild animal, employee or member of the general public.
Expecting security guards to be able to accurately monitor your site over a long shift is an impossible task. Therefore by utilising CCTV Towers or reinforcing your current system with them, you can entrust trained professionals to take care of your site’s security.
Backed by NSI Gold Accredited security, we combine advanced camera technology with trained professionals who will assess any motion detected and respond with immediate, appropriate effect to any incidents.
This avoids the risk of reacting to false alarms and wasting time, focusing all that attention on true threats.
Customisable Cameras to Suit Your Security Needs
Every site, building or property has different security needs based on various factors including the industry type and location, therefore your security service should be able to personalise your response to the unique threats you face.
Unlike with manned guards where their response and approach will often be similar or the same, most CCTV Towers will offer additional features that allow you to customise your cameras to your needs.
With our Towers, we offer the following additional features which can be utilised to customise your cameras:
- ANPR Camera - Monitors and captures any number plates on vehicles within the recorded location.
- Site Condition Monitoring Sensors - Various site condition sensors that can be attached to the Tower to monitor environmental factors such as noise, dust and CO2.
- Video Analytics - Provides advanced detection, verification and alerts for a range o0f intelligent surveillance and monitoring applications.
- Time Lapse Video - Allows you to capture your project in a short, well-edited video that can be shared online or via social media.
