Summer is security season
Why the summer months demand CCTV solutions
As the temperature rises and summer approaches, so does the need for robust security solutions. Summer brings unique challenges that require specialized attention from security professionals. At Watchtower Security Solutions, we've observed consistent patterns that make this season particularly demanding temporary security.
We explore why summer is a critical period for security - and how temporary CCTV solutions can play a pivotal role in safeguarding people, property, and public spaces.
Festival and event season security
Summer is synonymous with festivals, outdoor concerts, and large-scale events. These gatherings present dual security challenges that our towers are uniquely positioned to address.
· Live monitoring – crowd control during events: Real-time crowd control support is essential for security teams and police, enabling immediate response to incidents and effective crowd management. Our towers provide camera images with both a good overview (thanks to our 6m high towers) and the ability to zoom in and rotate the cameras (PTZ). We connect our towers directly to the control center of the event, enabling immediate response to incidents and effective crowd management.
· Pre-event and nighttime protection Equipment and infrastructure protection during setup phases, with instant alerts for unauthorized access, and overnight when the festival terrain is closed. As soon as a person is detected by our cameras – thanks to our advanced Ai – the Alarm Receiving Center (ARC) gets an alert. The ARC can talk to the intruder via a speaker on the tower and/or can alert security services or the police.
This dual approach extends beyond major festivals to pop-up bars, beach venues, and temporary summer establishments that need flexible, reliable security coverage.
Construction sites on pause
Summer holidays create a perfect storm for construction site security risks. When workers take their well-deserved breaks, valuable equipment and materials become vulnerable targets.
Our CCTV solutions fill this critical gap, providing continuous monitoring when sites are temporarily abandoned. From expensive machinery to copper wiring and building materials, our towers ensure your investment remains protected throughout the holiday season. The deterrent effect alone often prevents attempts at theft, while our rapid response system ensures any incidents are addressed immediately.
Seasonal parking security
Summer's peak travel season creates numerous temporary parking opportunities that unfortunately attract criminal attention. Airport overflow lots, festival parking areas, and theme park extensions become prime targets as vehicles are left for extended periods of time.
The vulnerability is obvious: making these spots an easy target for theft, vandalism, or break-ins.
Our mobile security towers provide comprehensive coverage for these temporary parking solutions, offering peace of mind to travelers and protecting the reputation of parking operators. The visible presence of our towers acts as a powerful deterrent while ensuring rapid response if incidents occur.
Abandoned sites and buildings in relation to the young having a lot of time.
Extended summer holidays and warm evenings create the perfect conditions for increased activity around vacant buildings and sites, including unwanted exploration of abandoned properties.
Urban exploration, trespassing, and property damage incidents spike dramatically during the summer months. Deploying CCTV in these areas helps mitigate risks. It discourages trespassing, alerts authorities to unauthorized access, and ultimately protects both property and people. Our solutions provide crucial protection for abandoned buildings, vacant lots, and temporary unused facilities.
