Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CCTV systems for event management and venue security.

How do you ensure CCTV systems comply with GDPR at public events?

Our event CCTV installations are designed for GDPR compliance from the ground up. We conduct data protection impact assessments identifying privacy risks, implement appropriate signage informing attendees of surveillance, configure secure storage with encrypted recording, establish data retention policies meeting event requirements, implement strict access controls limiting who can view footage, and provide comprehensive documentation for ICO compliance. We balance security needs with attendee privacy rights ensuring surveillance remains proportionate and lawful.

What's the difference between UniFi Protect and Hikvision for event venues?

UniFi Protect offers excellent value with no ongoing licence fees, seamless integration with UniFi network infrastructure, intuitive management interfaces, and robust local recording. It's ideal for smaller to medium event venues wanting enterprise features without ongoing costs. Hikvision provides advanced AI analytics including crowd counting, wider camera selection covering specialist event scenarios, event-grade reliability for critical applications, and more extensive video management features. It's often chosen for larger festival sites requiring advanced capabilities. Both platforms deliver exceptional security; we recommend based on your specific requirements, existing infrastructure, and budget.

Can CCTV cameras be deployed for temporary outdoor festivals?

Yes, we specialise in temporary CCTV deployments for festivals and outdoor events. Our solutions include weatherproof IP cameras suitable for outdoor use, temporary pole mounting for optimal coverage, portable recording hardware with battery backup, wireless connectivity options where cabling is impractical, and rapid installation and dismantle schedules minimising setup time. We work closely with production teams to plan camera placement, coordinate installations around other festival infrastructure, and provide on-site technical support throughout multi-day events.

How long is event CCTV footage stored and who can access it?

Storage duration depends on your organisation's data retention policy and legal requirements, typically 30-90 days for venue surveillance with extended retention for specific incidents under investigation. For temporary festivals, footage is usually retained for the event duration plus 30 days then securely deleted. Access to CCTV footage is strictly controlled with user authentication, role-based permissions, audit logging of all footage viewing, and procedures for police disclosure. Only authorised event security staff, venue managers, and designated safety officers can access footage with all viewing logged for accountability.

Can I monitor cameras remotely during events from my phone?

Absolutely. Both UniFi Protect and Hikvision offer secure remote access through web browsers and mobile apps. Event managers and security coordinators can view live camera feeds from multiple stages and areas, review recorded footage, and receive motion alerts from anywhere with internet connectivity. Remote access uses encrypted connections and requires strong authentication protecting against unauthorised access. This enables efficient monitoring of large festival sites and multi-room venues without needing to be physically present in every location.

How many cameras do I need for my venue or festival?

Camera requirements depend on your venue size, layout, capacity, and licensing requirements. Small music venues might need 6-12 cameras covering entrances, stage areas, bars, and audience spaces. Large festivals may require 50-200 cameras across multiple stages, campsite areas, and site perimeters. We conduct comprehensive site surveys assessing your venue or festival site, identifying security priorities, recommending appropriate camera placement meeting licensing conditions, and providing detailed proposals. Our goal is providing effective security coverage whilst managing costs and meeting regulatory requirements.

What happens if cameras fail during a live event?

Our CCTV systems are designed with reliability in mind for live events. UniFi Protect and Hikvision recording devices have redundant storage protecting against drive failures. Battery backup units keep cameras and recorders running during brief power outages. For major festivals, we provide on-site technical support throughout the event ensuring immediate response to any equipment issues. Cloud backup options provide off-site recording ensuring footage remains accessible even if local equipment fails. We include monitoring detecting system faults immediately with rapid response ensuring maximum uptime during critical event periods.

How quickly can you install a CCTV system for our event or venue?

Installation timelines depend on venue size and requirements. Small venues with 8-15 cameras can typically be completed within 1-2 weeks including site survey, system design, and installation. Larger permanent venue installations may require 3-6 weeks for comprehensive deployment. For temporary festival deployments, we can install extensive camera networks within 2-3 days before the event with dismantle completed within 1 day after event conclusion. We provide detailed project timelines with realistic schedules and work flexibly around event preparations ensuring systems are operational before attendees arrive.
