Not every site needs surveillance forever — but every site needs it properly done while the risk is live. Quantum's temporary CCTV installations give construction sites, event organisers, and vacant properties professionally deployed, fully monitored security for exactly as long as it's needed, with no permanent infrastructure and no long-term commitment.
A temporary installation is a fully functioning CCTV system — cameras, power, connectivity and (where required) monitoring — deployed for a defined project or period rather than as a fixed part of a building. For most sites this means one or more solar-powered CCTV towers, but it can also include static camera masts, perimeter cameras tied into a monitoring centre, or a hybrid mix depending on the layout and risk profile of the site. The defining feature is speed and flexibility: equipment goes up quickly, adapts as the site changes, and comes down cleanly when the project ends.
Fast to deploy, easy to adapt, and gone without a trace when the job is done.
Because our solar towers need no mains connection or planning permission, most temporary installations can be live within a day of confirmation — useful when a site opens, a theft occurs, or a contract starts sooner than expected.
Solar towers and mobile masts require no groundworks, cabling runs or structural fixings, so there's nothing to make good when the project finishes — important on leased sites, event grounds and properties awaiting sale or redevelopment.
As a construction site progresses or an event layout changes, towers can be repositioned to keep the areas that matter — plant, materials, entry points — covered throughout.
Temporary systems can be linked into 24/7 remote monitoring, so verified activity triggers a response even outside working hours, rather than simply recording an incident after the fact.
Hire periods run from a single week to many months, scaling up or down as the project timeline shifts, rather than locking you into a fixed contract.
From your first call to a clean removal at the end, handled by our own in-house team throughout.
Share your project dates, site layout and the specific risks you're managing — theft of plant and materials, unauthorised access, fly-tipping, or general site security.
Our team recommends the number and position of towers or cameras, and whether remote monitoring is appropriate for the risk level.
Engineers deliver and commission the equipment on the agreed date, with the system live and recording the same day in most cases.
As the project develops, we can reposition units, extend the hire, or add capacity, backed by in-house technical support for the duration.
When the project ends, equipment is collected with no remediation work required on site.
A temporary installation is only as good as the team behind it — and that's where a lot of "temporary CCTV" providers fall short, subcontracting installation to whoever's available locally. Quantum's engineers are our own employees, trained on our own equipment, so the installation quality on a two-week event is the same as on a two-year construction programme. Combined with a UK-wide fleet and 24/7 support, that means your temporary system is never left unattended if something goes wrong.
Tell us your project dates and site details and we'll come back the same working day with a plan and a quote.
