Wec or Altron

any tips for using towers?


I am thinking of the Altron 6m fixed column with 2 cameras on the top and an anti climb guard

No replies ... how sad.

Both are reputable manufacturers, and quite honestly everyone seems to have their own personal preferance for either towers or poles.

On balance I would guess that poles way outsell towers, although in practice, you usually find poles used for street and public area locations, and towers restricted to commercial premises like factories, warehousing etc.

The best thing is to consider the size and weight of your proposed loading, and then ask the manufacturers for their suggestions based on potential wind loadings where you intend to install them. The most important rule is not to go any higher than you absolutely have to, otherwise camera stability can become a real problem.
