Case Study: Lincoln Christmas Market

For over a decade, DCRS supported the Lincoln Christmas Market, one of the UK’s largest  festive events, attracting over 335,000 visitors, 600 coaches and 10,000 cars each year.   We provided a complete Motorola Solutions Digital Two-Way Radio System, including repeaters,  mobile units, and accessories, with 24/7 on-site technical support to keep everything running  smoothly. 

Consider Body-Worn Cameras for Extra Security

While we don’t currently offer body-worn cameras for hire, we do supply a range of Motorola body-worn cameras for purchase or lease, perfect for event security teams who need to capture  real-time evidence and enhance safety.  

Our popular VB400 body-worn cameras provide clear HD footage, reliable battery life, and  secure data management (ideal for busy public events and high-footfall environments).

For example, a pair of Motorola VB400 bodycams with software and licences can be leased  from £45.00 per month.
