VPS Alert Tower - Video Verified Alarm Tower.

Temporary Security. Rapidly Deployed. Always Watching.

Protect vulnerable sites, assets and restricted areas with a wireless video-verified alarm tower designed for rapid deployment.

VPS Alert Tower provides a flexible, highly visible security solution for construction sites, utilities, vacant properties and remote locations where traditional security infrastructure isn’t practical. When activity is detected, the system captures video and sends the activation to the VPS Monitoring Centre, where trained security professionals can verify the event and initiate the appropriate response.

A Flexible Security Platform

Housed in a bright, robust, bespoke design, packed with state-of-the-art technologies, this entry level alarm tower introduces game-changing flexibility for areas where no surrounding infrastructure is available. With a range of up to 20m in daylight, and infra red ilimuniation at night for up to 12 meters, you can rest assured your site is being watched over in all conditions.

Built for Temporary and Remote Sites

Alert Tower is designed for locations where security needs to be effective without being permanent.

Rapid deployment

Put temporary protection in place quickly and reposition the system as your site changes.

Video verification

Capture visual evidence of an activation so genuine threats can be assessed quickly.

24/7 monitoring

Your site is monitored around the clock by the VPS Monitoring Centre.

Robust design

Built to withstand demanding temporary and outdoor environments.

Long-life battery

Battery-powered operation helps provide protection without mains power, with the current VPS specification stating an expected battery life of up to two years.

Scalable protection

Connect additional cameras and peripherals to extend the system as your security requirements grow.

How VPS Alert Towers Works

The VPS Alert Tower contains an armoured, video verified PIR security camera system. This system captures a 10 second, full colour video clip upon being triggered. This video is then automatically transferred to the fully accredited VPS Monitoring Centre, manned by our security professionals 24/7 to verify whether the captured activity requires an immediate response by the keyholder or dispatching a mobile uniformed officer to the site if confirmed as an illegal trespass.

Why Choose VPS Alert Tower?

Security requirements can change quickly. VPS Alert Tower provides a flexible way to put effective protection in place without the need for permanent infrastructure, mains power or extensive installation.

Rapid Installation

Rapidly Deployed

A standard Alert Tower configuration can be installed quickly and easily repositioned as your site requirements change.

24/7 Monitoring

Every activation is sent to the VPS Monitoring Centre for verification, with trained security professionals monitoring your site around the clock.

Long Lasting Battery Power

Fully Wireless

Alert Tower operates without the need for fixed cabling or surrounding infrastructure, making it suitable for remote and temporary locations.

Video-Verified Alarms

When the system is triggered, it captures a video clip which is automatically transmitted to the monitoring centre for assessment. This helps distinguish genuine security incidents from false alarms and supports a proportionate response.

Highly Visible Deterrent

The robust, high-visibility tower makes security presence obvious, helping deter unauthorised access before an incident occurs.

Key benefits of the wireless VPS Alert Tower:

  • Provides proactive temporary site security and monitoring
  • When activated, captures a 10-second video which is sent to our monitoring station for verification
  • Can be connected to additional devices and peripherals to enhance on-site security
  • Rapidly deployed and easily moved to different locations
  • Perfect temporary site security solution for small areas where there is particular need for protection or where surrounding infrastructure is not available
  • The bright yellow colour provides a highly-visible deterrent
  • Robust casing reduces risk of damage, downtime and replacement of damaged kit
  • Operates solely on Lithium batteries with a 2-year life expectancy
  • Significantly cheaper site security solution than manned-guarding

VPS Alert Tower installation

The VPS Alert Tower can be securely positioned with inbuilt stabiliser legs to prevent wind movement and tamper alerts. Wheels and adjustable handles allow easy movement of the VPS Alert Towers when site requirements change.

This alarm tower can be anchored to the ground and used as a base to attach “point to point” active beams, alarm sounders or fire alert points. The VPS Alert Tower provides a mobile mounting solution for up to 4 video verified PIR cameras, with a mast height of 1.7m, extendable to 2.3m. The video verified PIR cameras can also be mounted directly onto the pole.

Integrated temporary site security solution

Starting as basic as one tower unit with one video verified PIR camera, this temporary site security alarm tower can be connected to up to 22 cameras in various combinations of VPS Alert Towers, or individual ruggedized VPS Alert Cam’s. Together they make up a highly visible security deterrent t help protect valuable assets in construction or remote sites.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A: Many of our advanced monitored technology solutions, including the VPS RDTa, POD S1 and Smart Hub +, are completely self-powered, off-grid, and wireless. They utilise long-life internal batteries and state-of-the-art solar harvesting, combined with multi-network 4G/5G connectivity. This ensures continuous, uninterrupted 24/7 site protection even on remote infrastructure projects, vacant land/property, or early-stage construction sites. 

    A: Every monitored alarm, sensor or video analytic event is received by the VPS Monitoring Centre, where trained operators assess the alert using live video and intelligent verification technology. By helping to filter false alarms and identify genuine threats quickly, we can support a fast, proportionate response in line with your agreed escalation procedures, whether that’s notifying your team, coordinating a response or contacting the emergency services where appropriate. 

    A: Yes. Our monitored video technology is designed to work as part of the wider VPS security ecosystem, integrating with multiple sensors and security devices to create a scalable, layered approach to site protection. With real-time communication between connected devices, threats can be detected, verified and responded to quickly, while complementing your existing site safety measures and physical security. 

    A: Our monitored security technology uses intelligent video analytics and AI-supported detection to help identify potential security incidents, such as unauthorised access, perimeter breaches or suspicious activity, while reducing alerts caused by environmental factors like wildlife, moving foliage or adverse weather conditions. Alerts can be reviewed by the VPS Monitoring Centre as part of the agreed monitoring and escalation process, helping to improve threat verification, reduce false alarms and support a more effective response. 

    A: As a temporary security specialist, we understand that security requirements can arise at short notice following a change in threat level, an incident or a property becoming vacant. That’s why all of our monitored security solutions are designed for rapid deployment, helping to secure sites quickly when protection is needed most. Depending on the solution and site requirements, systems can often be delivered on the same day or next day, before being commissioned, tested and connected to the VPS Monitoring Centre to help protect your people, property and assets as quickly as possible. 

    A: Yes. Sustainability is an important consideration in the design and deployment of our temporary security solutions. Many of our monitored systems are powered by solar energy with rechargeable battery backup, reducing the need for mains power or fuel-powered generators. Their modular design enables transportation in smaller vehicles, while our nationwide network of regional depots helps minimise travel distances to site, reducing transport-related emissions. Together, these features help lower the environmental impact of deploying temporary security without compromising on performance.
