Mobile CCTV towers give you fast, flexible security for temporary, remote or changing sites. With rapid deployment, 360° camera coverage, on‑board power and 24/7 monitoring, you can protect people, assets and boundaries even where it is hard to install fixed systems.
The challenge
Across Ireland, many sites are temporary, remote or constantly changing. Construction projects, roadworks, vacant properties, logistics yards and outdoor events often have:
Installing a full fixed CCTV system can be slow, costly or simply not practical. Relying only on occasional patrols or “lock it and hope for the best” leaves gaps in protection.
You need a way to get effective, monitored CCTV in place quickly, without major works - and to move it or adjust it as the site changes.
Our solution
Securitas mobile CCTV towers give you fast, flexible video protection for challenging sites. Using RDTa (Rapidly Deployable Tower - Assets) concepts - combining 360° camera coverage, on‑board power and remote monitoring - we provide a tower solution tailored to Securitas services in Ireland.
A typical mobile CCTV tower solution includes:
The tower is connected to our Security Operating Centre, where operators receive alarms, view live and recorded images, and respond according to agreed procedures.
Because the system is mobile, we can deploy it quickly, reposition it as the site changes, and remove it when the project ends - giving you monitored CCTV where and when you need it.
Options
Different sites need different tower configurations. Based on RDTa style rapid deployment monitored video technology, typical options include:
Camera configurations - Pan‑tilt‑zoom (PTZ) cameras, fixed cameras or multi‑sensor units for 360° coverage of compounds, access points and perimeters.
Power options - Mains‑powered, battery‑backed, or solar/hybrid solutions for sites with limited or no permanent power.
Detection and analytics - Video analytics to detect movement in defined areas, virtual tripwires, or loitering, helping reduce false alarms and focus on real events.
Audio intervention - Integrated speakers for live challenge from our monitoring centre or pre‑recorded warnings to deter intruders before damage occurs.
Connectivity - 4G/5G or other secure communication paths to send video and alarms to our monitoring centre, even from remote locations.
We configure each tower based on your site layout, risk profile and project duration. As your site changes, we can adjust camera views, detection zones and tower placement to keep coverage effective.
For your sites
Mobile CCTV towers are useful wherever you need monitored video quickly, without permanent installation. Typical uses include:
Construction and civil engineering - Protect plant, materials and site cabins; monitor access points and high‑risk areas on temporary or phased sites.
Logistics yards and depots - Cover loading bays, parking areas and external storage where vehicles and goods move frequently.
Utilities and infrastructure - Support security at remote compounds, substations, pumping stations or telecom sites with limited local power.
Vacant or redeveloping properties - Provide visible deterrence and monitored coverage while buildings are empty or being prepared for new use.
Events and temporary venues - Help manage crowd safety and protect equipment at outdoor events, festivals or temporary structures.
We listen to how your site operates, what you need to protect and how long the project will run. Then we design a mobile CCTV tower solution that fits your timeline, budget and wider security approach.

FAQs
Here are some of the questions we often hear from customers about mobile CCTV towers. If you do not see your question here, please get in touch and we will be happy to talk it through.
A mobile CCTV tower is a self‑contained, rapid‑deployment unit with elevated cameras, power and communications. It is designed to provide monitored video coverage for temporary, remote or changing sites, without the need for a full fixed CCTV installation.
The tower is placed in a suitable position on your site and connected to power (or uses its own battery/solar/hybrid supply). Cameras and analytics monitor defined areas. When movement or activity is detected, alarms and images are sent via secure communications (such as 4G/5G) to our monitoring centre. Operators review the event, issue audio warnings if needed and follow agreed response steps.
They are particularly useful on construction sites, logistics yards, remote compounds, vacant properties and events – anywhere you need monitored CCTV quickly, for a limited period, or where fixed infrastructure is limited.
Depending on the model and site, towers can be powered from mains, battery, or solar/hybrid solutions. RDTa‑style designs show how solar and hybrid power can support operation on sites with limited infrastructure; we will advise what is suitable for your locations.
Yes. One of the main advantages is flexibility. Towers can be repositioned to cover new areas, different access points or changing risk zones as your project progresses.
Many tower solutions include speakers for live or pre‑recorded audio messages. Our monitoring centre can use these to challenge intruders and deter activity, using the audio intervention capability built into RDTa systems.
In some cases, towers can reduce the need for continuous on‑site guarding, or allow you to focus officers on specific tasks while towers provide wide‑area coverage and monitored response. We will review your risk profile and suggest a balanced approach.
Deployment times depend on site access and configuration, but towers are designed for rapid installation compared with fixed CCTV. We will discuss timelines with you during planning so you know when coverage will be in place.
Yes. Towers can be part of a wider solution that includes remote video monitoring, alarm monitoring, access control and mobile response. Integration helps create a clearer picture of what is happening on site and supports joined‑up responses.
When analytics trigger an alarm, our operators receive an event with associated images or video. They review the footage, use audio challenge if appropriate, and follow your response plan – which may include contacting site contacts, dispatching mobile officers or, in serious cases, contacting emergency services.
