Infrastructure projects: Where delay costs are eye-watering
But, worse... the difficult conversation with your client, when events are missed, is excruciating.
Rail. Roads. Energy. Utilities. These projects move fast — and your clients can't afford security that slows them down or fails mid-project.
What your clients get with the REG Army:
✅500kg+ TRU wind-certified build (won't blow over in winter storms)
✅BS8484 ARC monitoring plus our weekly remote check-ins and proactive support
✅24/7 onboard NVR recording (minimum 30-day retention)
✅Next working day deployment as standard
Think of it like this: You wouldn't put a cheap saloon on a Formula 1 track.
Why would you put a mediocre tower on a critical infrastructure project?

Construction sites: Where thieves learn exactly when to strike
You already know the drill. Tools vanish. Fuel disappears. Copper wire gets stripped overnight. And your client is left explaining to their boss why work has stopped because someone nicked the generator.
What your clients need:
✅24/7 recording (not a tower that stops recording at 6pm to conserve battery)
✅Thermal detection that spots intruders 80 metres away — even in fog
✅Two-way audio so the ARC can challenge intruders before they cause damage
✅Recording that proves exactly when deliveries arrived (no more "disputed delivery" headaches)
Real example: When a police station construction site in Sheffield was left unsecured, we deployed REG66 in under 2 hours. Fully commissioned and detecting before the tarmac had set.

“We had around £500,000 worth of equipment on site… I was genuinely worried.
I called them Monday morning and by the next day it was all set up.
I can’t thank them enough… I’ll be shouting from the rooftops about them.”
— Lewis Stiff, LMS Engineering
£500,000 worth of equipment.
Left in an open field.
In an area where a farm had just been hit the night before.
When rural theft starts… it doesn’t stop at one site.
It comes in waves.
One farm. Then the next. Then yours.
That was the situation Lewis at LMS Engineering found himself in.
Specialist irrigation kit. Sourced from Dubai, the US and Spain.
Not easy to replace. Not quick to replace.
And definitely not something you want sitting unprotected overnight.
He had hours to act. Not days.
So he started calling around.
Most providers wanted site surveys. Delays. Back-and-forth.
Time he simply didn’t have.
Then he called CCTV Hire & Sales.
9:30am Monday.
By 10:30am the next morning…
A fully operational CCTV tower was on site.
Installed. Commissioned. Live.
No delays. No excuses.
Just a solution that worked when it mattered.
If you’re responsible for a site with high-value equipment…
And you don’t have time for surveys, delays or excuses…
We’ll get a tower to you fast.

All redeployable CCTV is not the same. ⚠️
Some mediocre systems:
• Need existing infrastructure
• Only capture images, not video
• Lose power in winter
• Stop recording without warning
Others are built for true аutonomous operation.
If you’re advising clients on construction sites, vacant properties or infrastructure projects, understanding the difference isn’t optional.
It’s your reputation.
We’ve mapped out the 6 product types, where they work, where they fail, and the 5 questions every installer should ask suppliers.
Take five minutes. It could save your next contract.

Some solar-only CCTV towers don't "FAIL" in UK winters.
They work exactly as designed.
And that's the problem.
Our post explains what they're actually designed to do, and what every installer needs to ask before signing the next hire agreement.

Three towers in. Three towers out. Three towers better in every way
Meet REG-0053, REG-0054 and REG-0055, the three amigos of the REG Army, back from a full refit.
These three were brand new back in 2023. Two years of hard graft on live sites. And now? They're better than the day they left HQ.
Here's what changed and why it matters to you.
Out: pull-out solar brackets. In: flush-mounted panels. Cleaner. More robust. Nothing sticking out for a curious vandal to attack.
Out: hydrogen fuel cells. In: methanol. Our Dual Power Plus system, solar, methanol fuel cells and 48-hour battery backup, isn't a workaround. It's the reason our towers don't go dark when the weather turns or the grid isn't an option.
Out: colour cameras. In: full thermal. This is the one that changes the game on your client's site. Thermal detection at up to 80 metres. Roughly three times the coverage of colour-only cameras. Day or night. Through fog. No blind spots hiding in the dark.
This full refit means: NO gradual fade. NO patch-and-pray maintenance. INSTEAD, a proper refit and... back to our Premium by Design standard that mediocre towers never provide.
That's what a PROPER two-year service cycle looks like... because we take the REG Army seriously.
Want towers that get better with age, not worse?

Security guarding companies, event security providers and installers — is Martyn’s Law already landing in your inbox?
If you support outdoor events, the questions are starting.
Crowd control. Evacuation. Lockdown. CCTV at entrances and exits. A clear way to communicate across site if something goes wrong.
We’ve spent years getting the REG Army onto tough sites fast, powered properly and watched round the clock. So when organisers started asking for more than cameras, the next step was obvious.
We’re developing an event tower that does both - CCTV and audio.
Zoned messaging where different areas need different instructions, or site-wide comms when everyone needs the same message.
Linked by local WiFi beams or 4G, with control equipment provided for your event control room - marquee, cabin or whatever the site gives you.
Same Premium by Design thinking.
Built for the high-level service these events actually need, not a box dropped off and forgotten.
We’re being honest: it’s a work in progress, and we want it shaped by the people closest to organisers.
Not a compliance shortcut.
A practical event tower built around real enquiries.
So what are your event clients actually asking you for?

Does your tower do this?
It's a sad fact, but... not all CCTV towers are built to the same BS8418-ready* standards.
Cheap towers simply do not compare to what we pack into our industry-challenging Premium systems.
It's time to rethink your temporary site security expectations...
Take a look at this list of ten top-end Premium features that come as standard:
✔️ Unmatched reliability: BS8418-ready* systems with top-end equipment that won't let you down
✔️ Next generation thermal and colour cameras. On board. As standard.
✔️ Video on demand live streaming
✔️ 24/7 HD recording
✔️ HD footage kept for a minimum of 30 days
✔️ Seamless, rapid deployment - live tomorrow or the next day!
✔️ Dual Power Plus - Solar, 6 month fuel cells plus 5 weeks back up
✔️ Robust to storms - TUV weather resistant tested build that stays intact during vicious winter storms
✔️ Weekly remote check-in to ensure your system is fully operational
✔️ Double check-in: virtual 'site tour' to visually confirm your site arrangement hasn't changed
Does your run-of-the-mill CCTV tower include all of this? As standard?
At CCTV Hire & Sales we're on a mission to redefine CCTV Tower standards...
That's why we call our REG Army, Premium by Design.
Ask yourself, why should your customers put up with low standard site security just because it's temporary?
Transform your site security today. Get in touch and upgrade your temporary CCTV to Premium now!
