this weekend, an innovative piece of VPS Site-Security technology will
help keep the TV coverage on-air for the millions of viewers expected.
VPS, the European leaders in vacant property management, have supplied
their award-winning SmartTower CCTV system to help protect and secure
the television and media compound at Gleneagles during the event.
The SmartTower CCTV is designed specifically for use in remote,
vulnerable or temporary environments such as this prime bi-annual
golfing event. It combines an alloy sub frame and pneumatic mast, which
allows it to be deployed in any terrain. The top of the tower houses a
high-end, wireless pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, with on-board storage
capacity of up to 64GB. As it can be powered by AC power, wind, solar or
hydrogen fuel cell, the SmartTower can operate even if core utilities
are not easily available.
"This is the first time the Ryder Cup in Europe will be broadcast live
in its entirety to America, and it's great to be helping our security
partner at one of the major sporting events in the world." comments Mr
Anthony Owen, the Managing Director for VPS Site-Security.
The VPS SmartTower CCTV is used to protect remote or challenging
environments, such as construction sites, utilities, and critical
infrastructure locations. It was designed by VPS' innovation centre
Quatro Electronics, at their Lytham St Anne's workshop, and earlier this
month won a New Product of the Year Award from Security Products in the
USA, with B & B Electronics, who developed the high-reliability cellular
wireless communication system.
