Rapid deployment CCTV systems can help prevent anti-social behaviour on derelict sites

Rapid deployment CCTV systems are the perfect solution to enforcing a superior level of security on derelict sites and prevent potentially dangerous anti-social behaviour, the type of which has recently affected a derelict Blackburn factory.

Blackburn with Darwen council say steps to prevent further problems at the former plastics site on Paterson street are currently being considered after it was recently affected by 3 fires. The authority says it’s been in constant contact and working closely with Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, The Environment Agency, the Police, Public Health England and the Canals and Rivers Trust.

The site has been under the monitoring of the Environment Agency for a long time. It was a plastics recycling plant, but after the owners went bankrupt, it ended up being held by liquidators, Begbys.

RDAPS – the UK’s first and only Secured by Design accredited self-sustained security surveillance system designed for the real-time, actionable protection of remote sites

The Rapid Deployment Asset Protection System (RDAPS) developed by CCTV Surveillance’s parent company, Tensor PLC, is the UK’s first and only Secured by Design accredited self-sustained security surveillance system designed to prevent crime and gather evidence in remote sites and trouble hotspots.

The RDAPS includes a high-definition camera system of evidential quality and a self-contained high-definition NVR platform with full video analytics capabilities, fully integrated 2-way audio and alarms, capable of delivering extensive remote location, building site and major events security.

Featuring a rugged, weather and vandal-proof design, RDAPS has been designed to protect assets located in vulnerable or remote locations, where current constraints exist due to a lack of power and/or communications. The system is equipped with a Solar/Wind Turbine charged battery system, as well as multiple wireless communication platforms (Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, etc.).

The Tensor Rapid Deployment Asset Protection System is totally transportable and can be re-deployed as frequently as required on multiple sites – in under 40 minutes. Our unique purpose built tower provides a platform which transports the system from site to site and when in ‘deployed-mode’ forms a self-contained secure working platform, functioning as a fully integrated remote video system.
