Reduce security costs by up to
0%
Renewable energy sites, including solar farms, wind farms and battery storage facilities, are increasingly targeted by organised criminal gangs.
Over 70 theft incidents were reported at UK solar sites in the first eight months of 2024, with more than 20% involving cable theft. Such incidents lead to operational downtime, financial losses and delays in project timelines.
WCCTV's rapid deployment CCTV towers, live monitoring services and proactive security measures deter unauthorised access and protect these critical assets, ensuring uninterrupted operations for renewable energy projects.
Securing the UK’s Renewable Energy Network
Renewable energy sites are high-value targets, often located in remote areas with little on-site presence. Theft of cabling, solar panels and battery storage units can result in significant financial losses, project delays and operational downtime.
WCCTV provides rapid deployment security solutions tailored to the challenges of wind farms, solar farms and battery storage facilities. Our CCTV Towers deliver instant protection, deterring intruders and enabling real-time monitoring to prevent incidents before they occur.

Immediate Protection for Renewable Energy Sites
Renewable energy sites are high-value sites targeted for cabling, solar panels and battery storage components, which can lead to major financial losses and operational downtime.
Typically located in remote areas, securing these sites can be complex. Our CCTV Towers provide an instant security presence, deterring intruders and ensuring real-time surveillance for wind and solar farms.
At 6m tall with infrared night vision, audio challenge speakers and full 360° camera coverage, our towers offer complete site protection. Their wireless connectivity ensures coverage even in off-grid locations.
With solar, hybrid and fuel cell power options, our systems deliver autonomous security, ensuring renewable energy sites stay protected without reliance on mains electricity.
Whether you need temporary security during construction or long-term protection for operational sites, WCCTV provides specialist security solutions tailored to the renewable energy sector.
Specialist Security for Renewable Energy Sites
No Upfront Costs - Just Powerful Security
Not all security challenges require a permanent solution, such as fixed CCTV installations. Wind and solar farm sites under construction, expansion, or maintenance will benefit more from temporary, scalable security that adapts as projects progress.
Purchasing a CCTV system involves high initial investments and ongoing maintenance, storage, and upgrade expenses. Renting cameras from WCCTV removes these costs, while providing instant security without long-term financial commitments.
Our flexible rental options allow you to scale security as needed, deploying CCTV Towers where and when required and adjusting coverage as risks evolve.
Prevent theft, deter trespassers and protect your critical infrastructure with WCCTV’s rapid deployment CCTV rental solutions.
Security That Grows With Your Project
As your energy projects move through different phases, from construction to operation, renting CCTV will ensure your security adapts to your sites and provides protection when and where needed.
WCCTV’s rental service provides specialist security without long-term commitments. We handle delivery, installation, monitoring, maintenance, and removal so that you can focus on the project at hand.
Key Benefits of CCTV Rental
We Don’t Just Record Crime – We Prevent It
See how our live-monitored CCTV Towers detect and deter threats in real time. When trespassers approach, built-in audio and visual warnings issue an immediate challenge, forcing most intruders to leave before any damage occurs. If they persist, our monitoring partner escalates the response, coordinating directly with police and keyholders to ensure a rapid intervention.

Your Virtual Security Team
Installing CCTV cameras can be a great deterrent to criminal activity, but most cameras don't have the power to stop crime in real time.
With WCCTV’s live video monitoring services, our partner NSI Gold Accredited monitoring station oversees your renewable energy sites, detecting threats and triggering an immediate response before incidents escalate.
Our CCTV Towers use infrared detection to establish a virtual perimeter around your site. If an intruder attempts to gain access, the monitoring station is alerted instantly, activating audio warnings and contacting police or key holders if needed.
How We Prevent Crime in Real Time
Don’t rely on cameras that just record. Take control with live video monitoring and stop threats before they impact your site.
Setting the Standard in Security
We Respond, So You Don’t Have To
The remote locations of most wind farms, solar farms and battery storage facilities makes them especially vulnerable to security breaches.
If an alarm is triggered, your team shouldn’t have to handle it - our Mobile Keyholding service ensures a trained security response when it matters most.
If an intrusion is detected, security personnel are dispatched immediately to assess and manage the situation, resecure the site and prevent further disruption. A detailed incident report will follow to ensure you stay informed without the need for direct involvement.
With CCTV surveillance, live monitoring and mobile response, WCCTV provides a complete security solution, keeping your renewable energy site protected at all times.
Renewable Site Security Case Study
Crook Hill Wind Farm, a 37.4MW site north of Rochdale, faced persistent challenges with fly-tipping and material theft due to its remote location. The cost of clean-up operations and ongoing losses made security a priority.
WCCTV deployed a solar-powered Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower at the site entrance, equipped with ANPR technology to monitor all vehicles entering and leaving. The autonomous operation of the unit made it the ideal security solution for this off-grid site.
Within the first week of deployment, the camera identified illegal dumping activity, leading to a successful prosecution.
Due to this, and other ongoing successes, the site extended its service package for three years and PfR began to use WCCTV cameras at additional sites across the UK.
