Outdoor events can help bring communities together, but they also present unique security challenges, especially in smaller areas. From managing the masses to safeguarding equipment and inventory, organisers must balance a welcoming atmosphere while maintaining a secure environment and presence.
At Logic Alarms, we specialise in delivering intelligent, cost-effective security solutions for all, whether you are a small business or holding a big event. One of the most efficient tools we use is our solar-powered mobile CCTV tower system. In this blog, we explore how these towers were recently deployed at the Muir of Ord Gala, ensuring security, preventing problems, and offering a sustainable, cost-effective solution.
Enhancing the Perimeter at the Muir of Ord Gala
For this year’s Muir of Ord Gala, two mobile CCTV towers were positioned around the perimeter of the event. Their main purpose was to monitor crowd activity, protect vulnerable points, and provide organisers (and those attending!) with peace of mind during the event and after.
The towers were deployed for a full week, entirely operating on solar power the entire time. This allowed for continuous, reliable surveillance without the need of generators, or on-site power sources which would result in higher costs and vulnerability. Their rapid deployment and self-sufficient design makes these towers ideal for an outdoor community event like this.
Reducing the Need for Manned Security
One of the most significant advantages of using mobile CCTV towers at outdoor events is the reduction in manned guarding, especially at vulnerable entry points. For the Muir of Ord Gala, the presence of these towers meant fewer security staff were required to patrol the perimeter which allows them to focus on more important, strategical things.
This also resulted in significant savings for the event organisers without compromising safety of people and equipment. The visual presence of the towers alone acts as a strong preventative method, often stopping things before they even happen – especially overnight when the site is more prone to criminal behaviour.
Remote Monitoring for Complete Oversight
Throughout the event, organisers had live access to camera feeds via the mobile app. This remote viewing capability enabled them to monitor activity in real time from anywhere on-site allowing comfort of mind and prompt reaction if anything was to happen.
All recordings were stored securely and available at any time, this ensures any incidents could be investigated quickly and thoroughly without the need of a computer. This level of accessibility is vital in the modern day, especially when organising a big event.
