Reduce security costs by up to
0%
Leeds is one of the UK’s fastest-growing cities, with a sharp rise in residential development and significant investment in commercial, healthcare and infrastructure schemes. However, with rising output, busy urban locations, and out-of-hours exposure, security challenges are also increasing.
Construction sites face frequent issues, such as unauthorised access, vandalism, and theft of high-value equipment, which cause delays, spiralling costs, and project disruption. Reports indicate that outside of London, sites in West Yorkshire are the worst impacted by tool theft.
WCCTV provides mobile CCTV Towers, Dome Cameras, and Hornet PID units, all backed by live monitoring and mobile response. Installed fast, scalable to your site, and supported by local teams, our systems help keep Leeds construction sites secure.

Built for Leeds. Backed by Results.
We take care of everything from expert advice on camera type and location to installation, monitoring, maintenance and support. You shouldn't have to manage security; you just need the right partner.
Our systems actively detect and deter intrusions, support investigations and allow for remote project oversight. They also double up as time lapse units, capturing project progress for stakeholder reports and marketing content.
All of our systems are available to rent, ideal for short-term builds, phased projects, or temporary security needs. There is no upfront investment, no long contracts, and no storage or maintenance worries once the job’s done.
Our 7m bright yellow CCTV Towers and flashing Hornet units send a clear message: this site is monitored, and intruders will be challenged.
All systems are monitored by NSI Gold Accredited professionals who issue real-time audio warnings and escalate to police or keyholders if required. We will also provide your team with remote access to cameras via our free app and desktop software.
Our systems require no complex setup process or supporting infrastructure, we can have systems live and monitored within a few hours with no impact on your project schedule. Need to move your system? Our portable cameras can move as your projects develop.
Reduce your security costs by up to 88% compared to manned guarding, while getting more consistent coverage and faster response.
With engineers based across West Yorkshire, you get responsive service backed by WCCTV’s nationwide expertise and resources.
Make Your Site a No-Go Zone for Criminals
WCCTV’s Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers are built for visibility, speed and results. Standing 7m tall, painted bright yellow and fitted with flashing lights, they send a clear signal 'this site is under live surveillance'.
Each Tower comes equipped with HD cameras, infrared night vision and wireless transmission. They don’t need mains power or internet and can be installed and fully operational in under an hour.
Power options include solar, hybrid and fuel cell variants, which are ideal for everything from brownfield redevelopment zones to remote infrastructure projects across West Yorkshire.
Connected to WCCTV’s NSI Gold Accredited monitoring partners, every CCTV Tower we hire in Leeds delivers 24/7 protection with live response and incident escalation.
Smart Security for Smaller Spaces
Not every site has the space for a CCTV Tower. Our Redeployable CCTV Cameras are built for flexibility, offering smart surveillance in a smaller, but equally powerful format.
With built-in 4G/5G and optional solar power, they’re completely self-sufficient. They are ideal for smaller urban builds or any projects where space is at a premium.
Key Features:
1080p HD video and infrared night vision
PTZ functionality for complete site visibility
AI-powered analytics to filter real threats
Remote access to live and recorded footage
Fast deployment, simple relocation
If you’re working in busy, constrained or high-traffic zones across Leeds, Dome Cameras deliver reliable protection without getting in the way.

We Don't Record Crime. We Prevent It.
The video below demonstrates how WCCTV’s live-monitored CCTV detects and deters intruders in real time. Most leave immediately on hearing our audio challenge, but if they don’t, our monitoring partner works directly with police and keyholders to coordinate a rapid response, helping to prevent theft, vandalism and delays to your project.

Live Monitoring That Stops Crime in Its Tracks
Recording crime isn’t enough. By the time you’ve reviewed the footage, the damage has already been done. That’s why WCCTV systems are backed by live video monitoring, so intruders are spotted and challenged the moment they step on site.
Using infrared detection, our Towers, Domes and Hornet units create a virtual perimeter around your site. If that perimeter is breached, our NSI Gold Accredited monitoring partners take action immediately.
How It Works:
Motion triggers real-time alerts
Operators verify threats and issue live audio challenges
Incidents are escalated to keyholders or police
Footage is recorded, reviewed and reported
Don’t wait to find out something’s gone wrong. With WCCTV, we will know and respond before it does.
Sleep Through the Alarm. We’ve Got It Covered
When an intrusion is verified, someone needs to respond fast. WCCTV’s Mobile Keyholding service ensures that person doesn't need to be you.
If our monitoring partner confirms a threat, trained professionals are dispatched to your site. They assess the situation, secure the area, and file a full incident report without disturbing your team outside of business hours.
Included With Mobile Keyholding:
Rapid response to verified alarms
No site staff called out unnecessarily
Site secured and logged with incident report
Seamless integration with your security system
You stay focused on the project. We’ll handle the callouts.

Securing What Matters Most in Leeds
BAM Nuttall was appointed to deliver the construction of the David Oluwale Bridge on behalf of Leeds City Council. The 40-tonne pedestrian and cycle bridge links Sovereign Street to Water Lane, forming a key part of the city’s South Bank regeneration.
Given the site’s central location and public visibility, BAM Nuttall required a security solution that could deter intruders, protect materials and document progress without relying on mains power or fixed infrastructure.
WCCTV supplied a Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower with integrated time lapse functionality. The Tower provided 24/7 surveillance, acted as a clear deterrent to unauthorised access and captured the full build in HD.
The resulting time lapse footage gave Leeds City Council a complete visual record of the project and helped bring public attention to this landmark addition to the city.
Do You Cover All Areas of Leeds and West Yorkshire?
Yes. We install and support systems across the city and wider region, including Bradford, Wakefield, Castleford, Otley and Wetherby.
Do You Offer Security for Long-Term Projects That Evolve Over Time?
Yes. Our systems are designed to be flexible and scalable. Whether your site grows, changes layout or enters a new phase, we can move, adapt or upgrade your security setup to match without causing any disruption.
Can Your Systems Work on Sites Without Electricity or Wi-Fi?
Yes. Our Towers, Domes and Hornet units all operate independently using solar or hybrid power and built-in 4G/5G connectivity.

From new housing and commercial builds to high-profile civic developments, our systems help you record every milestone clearly and professionally.
Time lapse cameras can be deployed as standalone systems or integrated with our CCTV Towers. They operate independently of power and connectivity, making them ideal for early-stage or off-grid sites.
We handle the full process from setup to post-production so you get a finished video without additional workload.
Each time lapse video is tailored to your brief and includes music, titles and motion graphics. Use them to report progress, engage the public, document compliance or promote your business.
Smart Data for Smarter Construction
Alongside our security systems, WCCTV provides sensor-based environmental monitoring systems to help contractors manage compliance, reduce disruption and protect their reputation across Leeds.
Our IoT sensor packs are ideal for busy urban environments, especially near housing, schools or healthcare sites where dust, noise and air quality must be closely controlled.
Monitor and Report On:
Noise levels to support Section 61 compliance
Dust and particle emissions
Localised weather conditions
Live alerts and scheduled reporting
All data is displayed on a real-time dashboard and can trigger alerts based on predefined thresholds. Whether you're working in the heart of the city or a sensitive area, WCCTV helps you stay informed.
