How our Temporary Security Solutions Keep Christmas Covered

As the festive season gets underway, businesses face increased risks, stretched resources and unpredictable peak-time activity. Ensuring continuity, safety and reassurance during this period is critical – both for operational efficiency and public confidence.

Why Christmas Demands Extra Cover

The festive season brings increased challenges including:

• Site closures which increase the risk for theft and damage causing costly delays
• Increased footfall, extended opening hours and higher movement of goods and people
• The need to rapidly deploy systems or guarding for short term cover

This isn’t a time for slow installations, it’s a time for flexible, scalable technology that secures operations without slowing them down.

Introducing ASEL’s Temporary Security Suite

WASPs – Wireless Alarm Site Protection

Our flagship solution, the WASP, is a rapidly deployable, autonomous security tower offering 360° visibility and advanced infrared motion detection. It requires no permanent setup and can be operational within hours – delivering instant oversight for vulnerable areas.

WASPs are now available in three configurations including indoor-ready options for retail, distribution and shopping centre environments – giving you robust protection regardless of terrain or infrastructure.

Best for:

• Construction sites
• Vacant property
• Seasonal retail stock protection
• Distribution hubs under peak pressure
• Temporary sales floors and event spaces

Drone Surveillance

With Civil Aviation Authority-certified drone pilots, ASEL drones allow organisations to see more, faster, and without placing teams at risk. From building and site surveys to thermal imagery and live inspection footage, drone solutions speed up decision-making and improve accuracy – vital when operations can’t stop for Christmas.

With flight times of up to 40 minutes and the ability to operate in extreme temperatures and weather conditions, drones deliver instant results without downtime.

HD Timelapse Video

Perfect for documenting seasonal builds, store transformations or high-value installations, our 4K timelapse cameras provide live viewing, incident archiving, and automated footage – reducing site visits and improving communication over the busiest trading period of the year.

Temporary Access Control

Peak season should never mean uncontrolled access. Our systems provide smart, real-time site control through facial recognition, turnstiles, fobs, biometrics and compliance monitoring – ensuring contractors, seasonal staff and deliveries are accounted for around the clock.

Solar-Powered CCTV Trailers

When you need surveillance without cables, power supplies or delay, our towable solar trailers are operational in just 30 minutes and provide high-definition 360° coverage. With intelligent analytics and live audio deterrence, they prevent incidents before they escalate.

Solar Bastion Security Tower

Designed for large, open perimeters, the Solar Bastion offers heavy-duty CCTV, detection and alarm capabilities – ideal for seasonal overflow storage, expanded sites or outdoor festive events.

Temporary Security Fencing

For fast-moving seasonal setups, our flexible fencing solutions provide instant perimeter protection – supporting safety, segregation, and compliance without permanent infrastructure.

Temporary Guarding

Our solutions reduce dependency on manned guarding, lowering operational cost while increasing coverage. Where human presence adds value, we provide temporary SIA-licensed officers supported by real-time control and reporting – ensuring every hour is informed, purposeful and compliant.

Top Tips to Keep Your Site Secure this Christmas

• Install effective and visible CCTV and motion activated sensors
• Ensure all perimeter fencing, gates and locks are intact and secured
• Remove or securely store valuable materials, tools and plant equipment
• Use wheel clamps, immobilisers or tracking devices on machinery left on site
• Display clear signage indicating 24/7 surveillance and restricted access
• Disable power sources where appropriate to prevent unauthorised use
• Protect unfinished structures by boarding opening and securing scaffolding
• Keep accurate inventories of all equipment before and after shutdown
