Mobile CCTV Command Centre to Transform Event Security Management

June 12th 2016




It’s been in operation throughout the UK and central Europe for years now. I saw my first mobile CCTV van in operation in Manchester, UK in 2008 during a frantic, post- Christmas shopping frenzy. Parked in a pedestrianised retail area, the van was certainly imposing -as it was meant to be. An in-your-face reminder to anyone thinking of breaking the law that they were being watched and recorded. In a country which boasts the most CCTV cameras per person (In 2013, that figure was 1 camera for every 11 of its 64 million inhabitants) the versatility and effectiveness of a mobile CCTV unit cannot be overstated.

In Australia, the size and distances to be monitored by electronic surveillance options make permanent CCTV infrastructure like that of the UK completely unrealistic. The cost alone of installing high quality CCTV throughout our sparsely populated regional centres is a prohibitive factor. Many sites in Australia may only require CCTV for a short period of time for an event, a protest or to serve as reassurance in the aftermath of a criminal incident.

Intelligent Security Integration, my Melbourne CBD based electronic security company, will launch its first mobile CCTV Command Centre (MCCC) for hire at the 2016 Security Exhibition and Conference from Wednesday 20 – Friday 22 July at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Designed specifically for rapid deployment - the unit allows for the creation of a full site CCTV set-up in under 5 hours, regardless of size and location. The MCCC is equipped with the absolute latest CCTV technology to ensure that images captured are the best quality possible.

Using market-leading technology from Axis Communications, the MCCC has been created for use literally anywhere a traditional CCTV set-up is logistically unfeasible or cost prohibitive. We designed the unit to provide electronic security services for major events, outdoor concerts and festivals but the vehicle can be used in any number of situations. Any organisation can hire this on a temporary basis and with 11 on board cameras, an additional 8 rapidly deployed cameras that live stream back to the vehicle as well as a suite of integrated body cameras for crowd controller back-up and an independent power source- the MCCC is a fully standalone surveillance device.

This really is a substitute for a high end, commercial CCTV installation but it can be deployed at an hours’ notice anywhere in Melbourne and at 24 hours’ notice anywhere in Eastern Australia

We at Intelligent Security Integration hope that a complete mobile CCTV solution is as well received here as it is in the US and Europe. High quality mobile CCTV was used extensively at the London Olympics and the British police frequently use mobile CCTV command centres in surveillance ‘black-spots’ against threats that arise from protests and crowd control in busy nightlife areas.


This vehicle will be the first of many for us, whilst the MCCC works best when used with a trained technician we have plans for future models that can be used just as effectively in un-maned situations.

  2. CCTV cameras come with a monitoring option that enables you to keep an eye on your home rather than relying on the neighbours for its security. When you are away from your home, monitoring can help in different ways as one can check Melbourne CCTV
