Temporary CCTV for Events

We don’t provide crowd control, licensed security guards, or event security planning — that’s a job for a licensed crowd control and event security provider. What we do offer is temporary CCTV: cameras you can hire for the duration of an event to cover entry points, cash handling areas and equipment.

What we actually do

For a market day, festival, open day or similar event, temporary cameras covering the main entrance, any ticket or cash point, and equipment storage give you footage of who came through and what happened, without needing a permanent installation. It’s a similar setup to what we hire out for construction sites — solar-powered where mains power isn’t available, quick to put up and take down. For a multi-day event, that also means equipment left on site overnight between days is covered, not just during open hours.

If you need crowd control or guards

Licensed crowd controllers, security guards and event security planning — including the regulatory side (safety management plans, RSA-certified staff where alcohol’s served) — are a separate, licensed industry from what we do. A licensed event security provider is who to engage for that side of things.

Costs

Cost depends on how many cameras you need and how long they’re needed for — a single-day market stall setup is a different job to a multi-day festival.

How Saint George Group can help

We’re a licensed NSW security installer (NSW master licence ML000111327). If you need temporary cameras covering entry, cash handling or equipment for an event, get a CCTV quote and tell us the dates and what needs covering.

Quick answers

Can you provide security guards for our event? No — that’s a licensed crowd control/security guard provider, not us. We only cover the camera side.

How quickly can temporary cameras be set up? It depends on the number of cameras and the site, but the units are designed for quick deployment — get in touch with your event dates and we’ll let you know what’s realistic.

For the footage and after-the-fact record side of event security, temporary CCTV covers it well. For the on-the-day crowd management and guard presence, that’s a licensed provider’s job, not ours.
