Temporary CCTV FAQ
Temporary CCTV FAQs
Common questions for sites that need fast, flexible surveillance.
How quickly can a temporary CCTV tower be installed?
Most deployments happen within 24-72 hours of order confirmation. Towers are self-contained, delivered on a trailer, and operational within an hour of site delivery.
What sites benefit most from temporary CCTV?
Construction sites, car parks, pop-up events, vacant properties, fly-tipping hotspots, open-air stockyards, and any location where permanent CCTV isn't viable. Towers are also a strong deterrent on high-footfall public events.
How does temporary CCTV compare to manned guarding?
A temporary CCTV tower is dramatically cheaper per day than a 24/7 static guard and gives wider coverage. For high-risk or high-value sites we often pair both — cameras as the primary deterrent, a guard for physical presence during key hours.
Do temporary CCTV towers need power or internet?
No. KBG uses solar-and-battery or hybrid towers with 4G connectivity built in. No mains power, no trenches, no infrastructure works required.
Is footage recorded and stored securely?
Yes. Footage is recorded to encrypted onboard storage and optionally streamed to our Alarm Receiving Centre. Retention follows UK GDPR — typically 30 days — and access is audited.
Can I hire temporary CCTV for a single weekend event?
Yes. We do short-term hires from 24 hours upwards, and longer-term deployments for projects. Pricing scales with duration.
Is temporary CCTV GDPR-compliant?
Yes, when deployed with proper signage, privacy masking for adjacent private land, and a defensible data-protection purpose. KBG handles the documentation so you're audit-ready from day one.
