Installing visible CCTV surveillance like mobile CCTV towers has been proven to significantly deter theft on UK construction sites. Temporary CCTV systems offer 24/7 surveillance, act as a visible deterrent, support real-time monitoring, and help avoid costly delays and losses

92% of UK construction site managers report being affected by theft, whilst around 1 in 5 sites face weekly theft incidents. This contributes to around £800 million every year in construction site theft. A recent UK survey found:

  • 70% of respondents witnessed theft at least once yearly
  • 19% saw theft every few months
  • 31% of projects suffered delays due to crime

A WCCTV Rapid Deployment CCTV Providing Construction Site Security

Site Security Challenges 

Construction Site Challenges Solved Through CCTV

Construction sites are full of valuable assets, machinery, tools, materials, vehicles and even fuel which are often left unattended outside of working hours. This makes them a prime target for theft, trespassing, vandalism and arson.

Beyond the immediate financial loss, these incidents can bring projects to a standstill and cause serious safety hazards. Traditional measures like fencing or on-site guards often aren’t enough to provide the constant protection your site demands.

That’s why more site managers are turning to CCTV for their security. With 24/7 visibility, instant alerts, and detailed post intrusion detection reporting all in one place, CCTV ensures your site remains protected at all times giving you peace of mind and allowing your team to turn up and complete their job.

And with our latest AI smart detection and environmental monitoring systems, your security goes beyond CCTV Towers and cameras. Advanced sensors can identify PPE compliance, detect smoke and fire risks, and monitor key environmental factors such as air quality, weather, noise, and vibration. This all-in-one system helps you manage not just your site security, but also site safety and compliance.

Construction Security Case Study

Real Results: Construction Site CCTV

Willmott Dixon, one of the UK’s largest construction firms, was contracted to build a new custody suite for Dyfed Powys Police. With no power on site, they needed a fully autonomous security solution to prevent theft and project delays.

We supplied a fully autonomous CCTV Tower, which, at 7m tall and painted bright yellow, acted as a deterrent while enabling real-time alarm monitoring.

Their CCTV Towers also support HD time lapse cameras, allowing Willmott Dixon to document progress. This simplified project management while ensuring continuous security and site monitoring.

Martin James, Site Manager, said: "We get full coverage from their systems, with no theft. It’s an excellent system and comparable with other projects we’ve used you on. It’s also great for keeping an eye on the site over the weekend, knowing it’s monitored. It’s been brilliant."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PID)?

PID systems use sensors to detect unauthorized movement around the perimeter of your site. WCCTV can integrate PIDs with your CCTV solution, triggering cameras and alarms the moment movement is detected—ensuring faster response times and deterring intruders before they gain access.

What types of cameras do you offer?

WCCTV provides a range of HD cameras, including PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom), thermal, ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), and fixed lens options. All are designed to deliver clear footage in all conditions and can be customized based on the unique risks of your site.

Are your security systems suitable for remote or off-grid sites?

Yes. WCCTV offers solar-powered CCTV Towers and battery-backed systems, making them perfect for remote sites with limited or no power access. They include built-in 4G for connectivity.

Is the system flexible if my site layout changes?

Yes. Our mobile towers and wireless components are designed to adapt as your site evolves. We can reposition systems as needed to maintain optimal coverage throughout your project lifecycle.
