Reduce security costs by up to
0%
Ports face constant threats from cargo theft, trespass, smuggling and disruption. With vast perimeters, limited staff and high traffic volumes, securing every access point is a major challenge.
Freight crime costs UK businesses over £100 million every year, much of it linked to cargo moving through ports. WCCTV supplies mobile CCTV systems that deliver rapid, visible protection where it’s needed most.
Our cameras are backed by live video monitoring and a fully managed service, helping port operators prevent crime, respond fast and keep operations moving.
Securing the UK’s Ports
Ports are high-value targets for theft, smuggling, trespass and disruption. From container yards and access roads to restricted zones and loading bays, security risks are widespread and constant. Large perimeters, changing site layouts and limited staff coverage only increase the challenge.
WCCTV supplies rapid deployment CCTV systems built for port environments. Our mobile towers deliver visible deterrence and real-time threat detection, backed by live video monitoring from NSI Gold accredited partners. Whether you need short-term cover or longer-term protection, we provide fast, flexible solutions without the need for fixed infrastructure.
Every system is supplied as part of a fully managed service, which includes:
Professional installation and camera placement
Live video monitoring with immediate response
Regular maintenance, health checks and support
Remote access via mobile and desktop
With flexible hire terms and fast turnaround, we help port operators prevent disruption, protect cargo and meet evolving security requirements.
The UK’s Most Trusted Name in Port Security
Our mobile CCTV systems are delivered with a fully managed service that includes installation, live monitoring, connectivity, maintenance, support and reporting. While your team focuses on port operations, we take care of security.
Our systems do more than record footage. They deter intruders, provide remote oversight and support investigations with clear, reliable evidence. From container yards to restricted zones, they help protect high-value cargo and keep port operations running smoothly.
Security requirements at ports can shift quickly. Whether you're protecting an operational terminal or a temporary cargo zone, we offer rental and purchase options to match your needs without adding unnecessary cost.
At 7m tall and painted bright yellow, our CCTV Towers create a highly visible deterrent, sending a clear message that your port is actively secured by professionals.
Keep eyes on your port from anywhere using our free mobile app and desktop platform. Access live and recorded footage, review incidents or rely on our NSI Gold accredited monitoring team to manage security on your behalf.
Our CCTV Towers can be installed and fully operational in under an hour, providing instant security at ports with no complicated setup required.
Our managed security service reduces costs by up to 88% compared to security guards, providing a cost-effective yet proactive security solution.
WCCTV Towers run on solar, hybrid or fuel cell power, making them ideal for remote port areas, off-grid cargo zones and restricted access points where mains electricity isn’t available.
Immediate Security for Port Environments
Ports are large, complex environments with constant movement, high-value cargo and multiple access points. Securing them requires more than fixed infrastructure or static patrols.
WCCTV’s mobile CCTV Towers provide an immediate and visible security presence. They help prevent trespass, cargo theft and unauthorised access while reducing reliance on man guards or temporary fencing.
Each Tower stands 7 metres tall and comes equipped with 360° cameras, infrared night vision and audio challenge capability, ensuring full coverage even in low light. Footage streams directly to your team or to our NSI Gold accredited monitoring partners for real-time response.
Towers are fully self-powered using solar, hybrid or fuel cell options, making them ideal for remote container yards, off-grid zones and restricted port areas where mains electricity isn’t available.
Whether you’re securing a temporary access route, covering a construction zone or adding long-term protection to an operational site, our CCTV Towers deliver fast, flexible and cost-effective surveillance for any port environment.
Flexible Surveillance for Port Environments
Ports are busy, complex sites with constantly shifting risk areas. When security needs change quickly, redeployable CCTV cameras offer a fast and flexible way to maintain coverage without the delays of fixed installations.
WCCTV’s redeployable cameras deliver reliable protection in areas where tower deployment isn’t practical. They can be installed quickly, repositioned as needed and monitored in real time by your team or our NSI Gold accredited partners.
Each unit includes HD cameras, onboard storage and remote access via mobile and desktop. With no trenching or civil works required, they offer a practical and cost-effective way to secure vulnerable or overlooked areas.
Whether you’re responding to a new risk or expanding your coverage, redeployable CCTV cameras help port security teams act with speed and confidence.

Advanced Perimeter Protection
Ports have long, exposed perimeters that are difficult to secure using cameras alone. Blind spots, low visibility and large unmanned areas create opportunities for unauthorised access, theft and smuggling.
The WCCTV Hornet is a rapid deployment Perimeter Intrusion Detection (PID) system designed to detect and respond to threats before they reach your site. It uses a combination of thermal detection, visual verification and active deterrents to spot movement along fences, walls and restricted access points.
When an intrusion is detected, the system alerts our NSI Gold accredited monitoring team or your control room, enabling live response in real time. Voice-down audio, flashing blue lights and loud alarms help deter intruders immediately.
The Hornet is ideal for securing container yards, fence lines, vehicle entrances and remote port zones especially where fixed cameras can't reach or where there is a temporary security need.

We Don’t Just Record Crime. We Stop It.
Watch how our live-monitored CCTV towers detect and deter threats in real time. When intruders approach, built-in audio and visual warnings issue an immediate challenge, forcing most to leave before damage occurs. If they persist, our monitoring team coordinates directly with police and keyholders to ensure a rapid response, preventing cargo theft, unauthorised access and operational disruption.

Your Virtual Security Team
A CCTV Tower provides a strong security presence, but why just record crime when you can prevent it in real time?
With WCCTV’s live video monitoring, an NSI Gold Accredited security team oversees your site, detecting threats and triggering an immediate response before incidents escalate.
Our CCTV Towers use infrared detection to establish a virtual perimeter around ports, airports and distribution centres. If an intruder attempts to gain access, our monitoring team is alerted instantly, activating deterrents and escalating the response as needed.
How We Prevent Crime in Real Time
Don't rely on cameras that just record. Stop threats before they escalate.
We Respond, So You Don’t Have To
Strengthen security beyond CCTV Towers and live monitoring with Mobile Keyholding Response, ensuring a rapid on-site presence when it matters most.
If unauthorised access or suspicious activity is detected, trained security personnel are dispatched immediately to assess and manage the situation - removing the burden from site managers and operations teams.
Instead of taking a late-night call about a security breach, you can rely on experienced professionals to secure the site, escalate the response if needed, and provide a full incident report.
With CCTV surveillance, live monitoring and mobile response, your transport hub, port or distribution centre stays protected without disruption to your team.
