Media Protection
Protecting your people, locations and production schedule.
A production has enough moving parts without worrying about unauthorised access, equipment security or crowds gathering around a location. Ark Guarding Solutions provides security support for film, television, photography, live broadcasts and content productions.
Whether you’re filming for a day or working across several locations, we’ll build a security plan around your call times, crew movements and site requirements.
Security that works around your crew
Production environments change quickly. Deliveries arrive, locations open to the public, schedules shift and teams move between sites. Our staff work with your production manager and location team to keep access organised while allowing the crew to get on with the job.
Our support can include:
Location security during filming, setup and overnight periods.
Access control for crew, contractors, visitors and deliveries.
Equipment and vehicle security at agreed locations and holding areas.
Perimeter and entrance management to help prevent unauthorised access.
Crowd and public interface support when filming attracts attention.
Unit base and parking area security to support crew movements.
Talent and VIP access support where discretion and clear coordination matter.
Incident reporting to keep your production team informed.
Professional, discreet and adaptable
The right security presence should support the production without becoming a distraction. We brief our teams on the location, access arrangements, key contacts and any sensitivities before they start. If your schedule changes, we’ll work with your team to adjust the deployment.
From a busy city-centre shoot to an isolated overnight location, we focus on clear communication, professional conduct and a practical response to problems on site.
From new installations to troubleshooting existing systems, we handle all types of electrical work with expertise and precision. Our services are tailored to meet the needs of both residential and commercial clients, ensuring consistent and reliable power distribution.
We understand the importance of quick response times, especially when dealing with electrical issues, and we work efficiently to resolve problems without compromising safety.
Cover from setup to wrap
Security needs can start before the first crew call and continue after filming finishes. Ark can provide cover for location preparation, shoot days, overnight holds and breakdown, with staffing arranged around your schedule.
