What are rapid deployment CCTV cameras?

Rapid deployment cameras and redeployment cameras, what are they and where can they be used?

Rapid Deployment Cameras or Re-Deployable Cameras can be extremely beneficial to many organisations, but before deciding on whether or not you need a rapid deployment camera or a re-deployable camera, it’s important to understand the difference between the two and if you require proactive or reactive CCTV surveillance. 

Proactive vs Reactive Surveillance

Surveillance can be categorised into Proactive Surveillance and Reactive Surveillance, depending on the functions of the surveillance in your organisation and how it caters to investigations or crimes.

Proactive CCTV Systems

Proactive Surveillance involves security staff constantly monitoring CCTV cameras, anticipating a crime to occur, typically in a CCTV control room setting. The operators will have access to CCTV cameras to “proactively” monitor areas such as town centres, housing estates, major events, MOD and Government buildings etc. With this type of surveillance in place, security staff can take action on the spot when criminal activity happens.Cameras used for proactive systems tend to be PTZ (Pan, Tilt and Zoom) cameras which are used by an operator to follow individuals.

Reactive CCTV Systems

Reactive Surveillance is the alternative surveillance system that allows your organisation to be protected after a crime has occurred. Reactive CCTV is a system that is not monitored by CCTV operators, which is useful when security staff are unable to monitor the criminal activity at the exact moment it happens. These types of systems are used to gather information to deter crime. A reactive type system generally uses static type cameras pointed at a specific area to capture images, which are then reviewed at a later date.

What are Rapid Deployment Cameras & Re-deployable Cameras?

Rapid Deployment Cameras are the ‘quick-fix CCTV security solution for organisations or businesses of any size or sector who need a reliable CCTV camera system that can be installed quickly and easily for usage, then taken down smoothly once when usage is complete.

Rapid Deployment cameras (RDC) units are designed to be installed quickly using a battery pack meaning these cameras can be installed in minutes. These types of cameras tend to be used for short deployments.

For longer-term deployment, we’d recommend Re-deployable cameras. These cameras tend to be mains powered units that are installed in an area for longer periods. With the need for mains power, the installation process can take more time. These Cameras tend to stay in place but can be moved if needed.

Here at iC2 Distribution, we manufacture Rapid Deployment Cameras and Re-deployable Cameras which provide excellent operational flexibility and deliver surveillance where it is needed FAST.

Which systems suit Proactive or Reactive? The answer is both Rapid and Re-deployable cameras can be used for proactive and reactive. The IC2 Distributions’ range of RDC units can have a more proactive PTZ on the unit or high-resolution Static cameras. We can also supply multi-cam units with a PTZ for proactive operations with static cameras for reactive these are a great option for part manned control rooms. IC2 Distribution supplies battery pods to make our cameras a truly flexible solution.

Rapid or Re-deployable cameras use multiple formats of transmission which includes 4G/5G, WIFI, Long-range Wireless and Mesh type wireless.

Where Can Rapid Deployment CCTV Cameras be Used?

Rapid deployment cameras and re-deployable cameras are perfect for any organization whether it’s the public sector or private business sector. For example, whether you are the police force or local authority that needs Rapid Deployment or Re-deployable cameras to help investigate specific crimes such as anti-social behaviour, fly-tipping or general protection of the public, or a private sector business looking to protect staff and or property, IC2 Distribution has a range of RDC units to suit.

Rapid deployment CCTV is a valuable tool in many situations and locations, as a visible deterrent to deter criminality, for real-time monitoring, or to gather visual evidence of a crime.

Preventing and Prosecuting Fly-tipping

For local authorities and businesses, fly-tipping is a persistent problem. The illegal dumping of commercial, industrial, or domestic waste not only creates an eyesore in areas of outstanding natural beauty, but also pollutes local habitats and waterways, and costs the taxpayer over £11 million each year.

Benefits:

  • Fast set-up, including in isolated areas with limited access to main services.
  • A strong deterrent to fly-tippers who know they are being recorded.
  • A resource of visual evidence to support prosecutions.
  • Integrate with infrared (IR) to enable CCTV recording at night.
  • Integrate with ANPR to obtain vital clues about the identity of perpetrators.

Enforcing Parking Restrictions

Not every car parking space can be covered by permanent CCTV. In residential areas, such as outside schools or in residents-only parking zones, illegal parking causes considerable inconvenience and may even endanger lives by obscuring free-flowing traffic. When temporary events are held, new car parks spring up for visitors, but motorists may seek to take advantage by claiming an illicit space.

Benefits:

  • The ideal solution to the need for short-term monitoring of parking.
  • Identify illegal parking offenders using ANPR to issue enforcement notices.
  • Control visitor access at temporary events.
  • Prevent unauthorised access to restricted parking zones.

Optimise Traffic Management

When temporary traffic lights are set up, or existing signals fail for a prolonged period, traffic management is crucial to prevent bottlenecks and reduce the risk of accidents. Rapid deployment CCTV ensures that traffic flow is monitored continually, so that actions may be taken to manage the situation.

Benefits:

  • Optimise traffic flow and reduce dangers for motorists and pedestrians.
  • Measure traffic density during the day and night.
  • Automatically implement traffic management strategies to ensure free flow.

Reduce Antisocial Behavior

Antisocial behavior has the power to wreck lives. Disruption, usually in the evenings and weekends, can be harmful, causing significant anxiety and distress to residents, while businesses may be targeted resulting in damage to or loss of property. But hotspots are rarely permanent, so fast deployment CCTV is the perfect solution to a major problem.

Benefits:

  • Installs CCTV rapidly when an antisocial behavior problem emerges.
  • Integrate with IR technology to capture high-quality images in darkness.
  • Motion detection algorithms activate CCTV when perpetrators gather.
  • Facial recognition software can detect repeat offenders and identify them if known.
  • Provides security staff with early warnings of problems so that toxic situations can be defused.
