Tailored Security for Every Build
We Don't Just Record Crime. We Prevent it.

Our theft prevention gallery shows many more examples of how live monitored CCTV cameras prevent crime and increase construction site security, take a look:
Your Virtual Security Guard
Deploying a CCTV Tower immediately strengthens the security of your construction site, but why just record crime when you can stop it in real-time?
With our live CCTV monitoring for construction sites service, our NSI Gold Accredited security professionals watch your site and detect suspicious activity outside working hours.
Our CCTV Towers use infrared detection technology to create a virtual perimeter around your site and assets. If an intruder attempts to gain access, our monitoring team is alerted instantly.
This triggers an immediate crime prevention response, including:
Stop relying on cameras that just “watch.” Get a security team that acts. Take control with Live Video Monitoring and prevent crime before it happens.
We Respond, So You Don’t Have To
Add an extra layer of protection alongside our CCTV Towers and live monitoring with Mobile Keyholding Response.
If an intrusion is detected, our monitoring team can dispatch mobile security personnel to your site or project to assess and manage the situation.
This ensures a rapid on-site response without the need for the site owner or project manager to be disturbed in the middle of the night.
Instead of taking a 2am call about a break-in, you can rely on trained professionals to handle incidents, secure the site and report back with a full incident log.
With CCTV surveillance, live monitoring and mobile security response, you get full peace of mind knowing that your construction site and the valuable assets are safe without disruption to your team.
