Reduce security costs by up to
0%
Vacant properties in Liverpool face serious and repeat security threats. From break-ins and arson to fly-tipping, squatting and vandalism, these risks can lead to costly damage, insurance complications and public safety concerns.
Many sites lack staff, utilities or perimeter protection, making them easy targets. WCCTV helps secure empty buildings with temporary CCTV systems backed by live monitoring.
Our fully managed service is trusted by housing providers, commercial landlords, local authorities and site managers across the city.
Systems are available to rent and operate without power, internet or fixed infrastructure, making them suitable for any site type, size or vacancy duration.

Deter break-ins, vandalism and unauthorised access

Rapid Protection for Vacant Sites
WCCTV’s mobile CCTV towers deliver fast, visible security for vacant and at-risk properties across Liverpool. They’re ideal for protecting empty retail units, disused warehouses, fenced-off compounds and development sites without infrastructure.
WCCTV towers stand up to 7m tall, are painted bright yellow and come equipped with HD cameras, infrared sensors and 4G/5G connectivity. They require no power or internet on site and can be installed in under an hour without the need for groundworks.
Towers are available in solar-powered and eco fuel cell variants, making them suitable for both inner-city locations and more isolated commercial areas.
Our towers can be monitored live by our NSI Gold accredited partners and supported throughout the rental with remote diagnostics and technical maintenance.
If you're looking for flexible, cost-effective CCTV tower rental in Liverpool, WCCTV provides a fully managed service that’s easy to set up and proven to prevent crime.
Movable Cameras for Voids Security
Redeployable CCTV cameras are ideal for protecting vacant properties in Liverpool where risk levels can change quickly or fixed infrastructure is unavailable.
These portable units can be installed in minutes and repositioned easily, allowing you to respond to new threats or issues across your portfolio.
They operate over the mobile network and are powered independently, so there's no reliance on existing utilities. Once deployed, they stream high-quality footage to our NSI Gold monitoring partners, who respond to threats in real time.
Property managers in Liverpool use these systems to combat fly-tipping at gated yards, trespassing in communal areas and vandalism at sites pending redevelopment.
Every camera is supported by our fully managed service, which includes installation, live monitoring, maintenance and access to footage via our secure app or web portal.
Systems for Every Site
Secure the Gaps Others Miss
Some sites have areas that fixed-position cameras can't cover. The WCCTV Hornet is a portable perimeter intrusion detection system built to address those gaps.
It provides an extra layer of security in alleyways, access routes, storage yards and blind spots around vacant properties.
Hornets are equipped with infrared motion detection, four fixed cameras delivering full 360-degree visibility, and integrated strobe lighting.
When triggered, the unit emits an audible and visual alert while sending a real-time alarm to our monitoring team, who respond immediately.
The unit operates independently, can be moved as site risks change, and integrates seamlessly into your existing WCCTV setup. Property managers in Liverpool use Hornets to reinforce perimeter security without needing to install additional towers or hire personnel.
Fully Managed, Complete Security
Managing vacant properties across Liverpool comes with enough challenges. WCCTV makes site security one less thing to worry about. Our systems are available on a rental basis and come with a fully managed service, so there’s no equipment to maintain, no upfront investment and no technical hassle.
We provide:
Site assessment and guidance on system placement
Delivery, installation and rapid deployment
Live video monitoring and real-time response
Maintenance, health checks and remote diagnostics
Secure access to footage via mobile and desktop platforms
It’s a complete solution that keeps your properties protected without tying up your time, resources or internal teams.
We Don’t Just Record Crime. We Prevent it.
The video below demonstrates how our monitored CCTV systems detect and deter intruders in real-time. Most offenders leave immediately after hearing the unit’s audio challenge and seeing the visual warnings. If they don’t, our monitoring partners escalate the issue to the police or keyholders for a fast and effective response.

Real-Time Response, Not Just Recording
Security systems that just record footage don’t prevent crime. WCCTV’s live monitored CCTV systems actively deter intruders by detecting threats, issuing warnings and escalating to police or keyholders as required.
Using motion detection, our systems create a virtual perimeter around key access points and vulnerable areas. When activity is detected, an alert is sent instantly to our NSI Gold Accredited monitoring partners. They connect live to the site, issue an audio warning and take further action if needed.
How the process works:
Motion sensors detect unauthorised movement
Monitoring team connects to the site in real time
Audio challenges are issued to intruders
Police or keyholders are notified if threats persist
This proactive approach helps stop theft, arson and vandalism before any damage is done. Your property stays protected, even when it’s empty.
Professional Response When It Matters
When a security incident occurs at a vacant property, someone needs to respond quickly and safely. WCCTV’s mobile keyholding service ensures that the response doesn’t fall on your shoulders.
Our licensed partners respond to verified alerts from our monitoring team, access the site securely and manage the situation on your behalf. This takes the pressure off your internal team while ensuring every incident is handled professionally and efficiently.
What the service includes:
Prompt response to confirmed threats
Secure site access for emergency services or contractors
Optional scheduled patrols for high-risk sites
Full reporting and documentation after every visit
We provide a complete solution that helps keep your properties protected and your team focused on core responsibilities.
