Metal Detecitng Knife Arch United Kindgom England

Metal detecting knife arches are large, doorframe like structures fitted with a powerful metal detector designed to spot potentially dangerous items concealed on the person passing through. When a metal object passes through the frame, there is both an audio and visual alarm component to alert your security staff. These metal detecting knife arches have proven very useful in such applications as in schools/universities, bars & nightclubs, festivals, sport events, and most commonly airport security. They also serve as an important visual deterrent towards anyone trying to bring suspicious items into any of these scenarios.

In most circumstances, walk-through metal detectors use pulse induction technology. This works by sending a bust of current through a wire coil, creating a magnetic field. This allows it to detect when a metal object passes through as it creates a reflected magnetic field which triggers a reaction with a receiver coil. This then triggers the alarm system. The size of the magnetic field is large, fully covering the entire space inside the frame, meaning any metal object will be detected no matter where on the person it is situated.

A typical pulse induction powered knife arch will often contain multiple zones, which can detect exactly where on a person the metal object is being hidden. Normally in these circumstances, the more zones a metal detector has, the more accurate the detection. Multi zone metal detecting knife arches contain multiple coils which create separate detection zones which are able to detect multiple objects and display all areas where metal can be found. The visual alarm will then highlight the position of the metal object on the person to a security official.

Metal detecting knife arches are designed to detect any kind of metal object ranging from weapons such as guns, knives, and knuckle dusters, to other potentially banned or unwanted items such as vapes, lighters, mobile phones and needles. Our walk-through metal detectors have adjustable sensitivity settings which can be customised to suit your preferences. Contact LTS to hire one of our knife arches today.

mobile surveillance towers, mobile cctv tower, rapid deployment cctv, cctv solutions

Mobile Surveillance CCTV Towers are stand alone, portable units that are designed to provide a fully comprehensive remote monitoring system to use in areas that require temporary security measures, such as construction sites, events, festivals, or places where installing a permanent CCTV system isn’t a viable option. These towers are usually equipped with multiple high definition security cameras to offer a robust 360 degree view of the surrounding area, along with lights, sensors, and numerous other security features to help ensure that the area in question is fully monitored. 

One of the main features of mobile surveillance towers is the flexibility and ease of installation, allowing them to be set up, installed and controlled very easily with minimal disruption to the site. This has made them one of the most valuable and sought after security measures for areas where temporary security monitoring is needed. Not only this, but they are often available to hire as well as to buy outright, which can make them a far more economically viable alternative to permanent security solutions. 

Mobile CCTV towers can come with a number of different power supply options, including being connected to mains electricity, along with more portable options such as solar and battery power. Both mains and solar powered mobile CCTV towers usually come equipped with chargeable batteries to store backup power, which allow extra portability and transportation if needed, as well as protecting against power failures and lack of sunlight. Solar powered mobile surveillance towers are fantastic for such applications such as border monitoring and development sites where easy access to mains power is prohibited, and these often come with methanol fuel cell batteries to store the energy that is generated by the sun. 

These surveillance towers often come with other features beyond just CCTV monitoring, including comprehensive control systems including telemetry and diagnostic solutions to help the user monitor their towers, along with 4G communications allowing the user to view the camera feed from anywhere across the world. Time lapse capabilities is another feature of these towers, allowing the user to view footage quickly to spot security issues without needing to waste valuable time.

One major advantage of using mobile CCTV towers is as a deterrent towards anyone who may be inclined to commit crimes or any form of security breach. When intruders or criminals see security measures, they are more likely to refrain from engaging in malicious or criminal activity for fear of being caught. Alongside this, the presence of these towers can prevent accidents and other health and safety issues by ensuring compliance with safety regulations for fear of being caught being liable for damage.

LTS UK are proud to announce the deployment of the first of their new Compact Total Solar Tower for mobile ‘off grid’ applications.

LTS UK are proud to announce the deployment of the first of their new Compact Total Solar Tower for mobile ‘off-grid’ applications.

Based on the exciting new TM Compact mast and trailer solution this set-up is designed to be flexible and move as projects such as pipeline installation progress. The solar array delivers a serious punch in terms of power to charge the batteries, and the (optional) use of a small methanol fuel cell is available for when tree or terrain cover prevents adequate power rake from the sun. Sharing a similar philosophy in power drain and utilisation to the Total off-grid solutions LTS UK now offers. The new surveillance technology, enables the Installer to utilise solar as a legitimate power source 365 days a year even in the Northern latitudes of the UK. The Development Team at LTS UK has been working hard over the past few months to produce a model that actually works for the Premium end of the Mobile CCTV market, and now have achieved this important milestone with the clever use of the very latest cutting-edge technology.

The Towers feature the Second Gen PDC management CPU developed in-house, together with revolutionary fibreglass panels, and lithium battery technology. The result gives not only stunning power storage capabilities but also manages the power used by the surveillance tech in the towers. Remote telemetry allows full visibility and control to also ensure the tower is working at its optimal performance, thus maximising margins made from surveillance towers deployed to the site.

Available with HIK or Dahua Camera technology this flexible tri-wing top design can be adapted to multiple site applications including perimeter fence line or compound management. All in all the total package brings the word ‘affordability’ into the Premium end of the mobile surveillance tower sphere.

Feel free to contact us at LTS UK for details and deals.

Case Study – Basketball Courts

We have recently installed an LTS View Box at a basketball park in Malvern, local to LTS UK head office. 

The aim of this is to keep the local community safe in a busy park area in Malvern and act as a deterrent for vandalism. The View Box has allowed the local council to monitor activity in and around the basketball courts, which has prevented any sort of criminal activity.

Contact us today for more information on the LTS View Box.

It has been a busy start to 2022 here at LTS UK with our research and development team in full force.

So much so, we are delighted to introduce you to our latest product development, the T365 Off-Grid Tower!

The key features of our T365 Off-Grid Tower are:

What is unique about our offering?

Our 365 Total Off-Grid Tower offers an eco-friendly, off-grid solution to powering surveillance towers throughout the year with no mains supply or requirements to charge batteries offsite.  This tower is powered through solar panels and a mini methanol fuel cell to keep the batteries topped up and the tower powered in the winter months when there is limited sunlight.

The graph above shows how we expect the tower to be powered throughout the year. 

Using our solar configuration, we expect to keep the tower running self-sufficiently for nearly 10 months of the year powered by the sun. During this time the tower operates with ‘total zero’ carbon emissions.

In order to ensure maximum reliability through a UK winter period, a small methanol fuel cell is fitted to supplement the solar yield. Depending on the site specific conditions we expect an average Methanol fuel usage of between 30 and 40 litres per year, when the sun doesn’t shine. To minimise the visits to site a 60L fuel cartridge is fitted meaning the number of visits to a site is kept to an absolute minimum.
