Improving Event Safety with Integrated Surveillance and Communications

23 July 2025
Security at major events isn’t just about managing risk — it’s about enabling confidence.

When large crowds converge on a venue, maintaining safety without disrupting the experience is a delicate balance. Operators must coordinate teams, respond to incidents and maintain situational awareness, all in real time and under pressure.

At CSE Crosscom, we understand that effective security is not a single product or protocol, but a connected ecosystem. Our tailored solutions empower frontline teams, streamline operations and deliver the visibility and responsiveness that modern events demand. Whether you’re hosting a music festival, a sporting fixture or a community celebration, our technologies help you stay ahead of the curve — and the crowd.

1. Body Worn Cameras: Frontline Protection with Real-Time Insight

In high-density, fast-moving environments, body worn cameras offer frontline workers peace of mind and operational support. These compact devices deter aggressive behaviour, record interactions and provide real-time situational awareness — all at the touch of a button.

As a platinum partner of Motorola Solutions, CSE Crosscom supplies the VB400 Body Worn Camera, engineered for durability and performance. With low-light capability, weather resistance and seamless integration into existing communication systems, these cameras deliver reliable footage throughout an entire shift.

Pre- and post-record functionality ensures that even the moments before activation are captured, giving operators the full picture of unfolding events. Plus, all systems are configured to support compliance with relevant safety and privacy regulations, with secure data handling and encrypted communications built in.

Whether deployed across festival grounds or stadiums, body worn cameras scale effortlessly across large teams, supporting both safety and accountability.

2. Fixed Surveillance Systems: Intelligent Monitoring Across Your Venue

Fixed cameras are a cornerstone of any venue’s safety strategy. From entry points to restricted zones, they provide the coverage and clarity needed to monitor, deter and respond.

CSE Crosscom integrates Avigilon’s advanced fixed cameras to deliver intelligent, scalable surveillance. These systems feature real-time analytics, anomaly detection and hybrid cloud capabilities, enabling operators to act quickly and decisively.

With mobile access and remote monitoring capabilities, operators can manage security from anywhere on or off-site — ensuring coverage and control across all zones.

AI-powered facial recognition accelerates threat identification, helping teams detect banned individuals, flagged vehicles or suspicious behaviour. Whether it’s a lost child or a potential threat, Avigilon’s technology helps security teams respond with speed and precision.

3. Two-Way Radios: Reliable Communication When It Matters Most

Clear, instant communication is vital for security teams operating in high-pressure environments. DMR MOTOTRBO two-way radios provide superior voice clarity, extended range and long battery life, ensuring teams can hear and be heard when it matters most.

Integrated with Motorola’s suite of data applications, MOTOTRBO two-way radios support messaging, location tracking and enhanced security features. Operating on licensed frequencies, these systems are built for reliability — even in crowded, high-interference environments.

With discreet, dependable communication, teams can coordinate responses, manage crowd movement and escalate incidents without delay.

4. Radio Rentals: Australia’s Largest Two-Way Radio Fleet

Not every event requires a permanent communications setup — but every event needs reliable, real-time coordination. That’s why CSE Crosscom offers flexible two-way radio rental solutions, purpose-built for the demands of temporary venues and large-scale gatherings.

With access to Australia’s largest rental fleet — over 10,000 radios available nationwide — we provide event operators with the tools they need to stay connected, without the overhead of long-term infrastructure.

Our rental services are ideal for:

  • Multi-day festivals and concerts
  • Sporting events and tournaments
  • Community celebrations and parades
  • Temporary venues and pop-up activations

Each rental is supported by local service teams and dedicated account managers, ensuring fast deployment, on-site support and seamless integration with your event operations. Whether you need 20 radios or 2,000, we’ll tailor a solution that fits your timeline, footprint and communication requirements.
