Reducing incidents and improving security
Body Cameras are increasingly being used within the construction sector due to their numerous benefits including:
With over 20 years of supplying video surveillance technology to the construction industry, we have applied our knowledge and experience to develop robust Body Camera solutions tailored to meet the unique demands of construction environments.
Our comprehensive range of body-worn video solutions includes body cameras, evidence management software, multi-unit docking stations and a variety of mounting accessories.
Protecting Frontline Workers and Reducing Conflict
Construction workers regularly operate in high-pressure environments where tensions can escalate quickly.
Confrontations with members of the public over road closures, access restrictions or noise complaints are common, and workers are increasingly reporting incidents of verbal abuse, threats and even physical aggression.
Inside the site, tensions between subcontractors or disputes over job roles and safety protocols can also lead to flashpoints. Without a clear record of events, resolving these disputes can be difficult, often resulting in blame, stress and disrupted progress.
Safety is also a major concern. With multiple trades working side-by-side and heavy machinery in use, poor communication or unsafe practices can have serious consequences.
Body Cameras are helping leading construction firms to address these challenges. They support frontline workers by deterring conflict, promoting accountability and providing secure, time-stamped video evidence when incidents do occur.
Practical Protection for Frontline Construction Staff
WCCTV’s Body Cameras are used by construction contractors across the UK to create safer, more accountable job sites. By equipping workers with visibly worn cameras, companies can actively reduce conflict, improve health and safety compliance, and gain valuable footage for post-incident review.
The benefits for construction teams include:
De-escalation of public confrontations, especially during disruptive works like road closures or utility maintenance
Clear video evidence of any disputes, near-misses or health and safety breaches
Improved adherence to safe working practices, with operatives more mindful of conduct when wearing cameras
Protection against false allegations, helping shield workers from reputational or disciplinary risk
Support for lone workers, giving added peace of mind when operating in isolated or public-facing locations
These outcomes directly contribute to safer sites, stronger team morale and smoother project delivery.
Enhancing Worker Safety
The distinctive forward-facing screen on WCCTV's Body Cameras plays a significant role in de-escalating conflict. When individuals are aware they are being recorded, their behaviour dramatically improves.
Small, discreet and lightweight, WCCTV's Body Cameras are barely noticeable to the wearer once they are attached. Despite the unit's compact size, it contains market-leading functionality and is ruggedised to withstand construction environments.
The device's 1080p video recording capability means you will capture high-quality video footage regardless of weather or lighting conditions.
The optional extended battery pack easily clips onto the bottom of the Body Camera, providing an additional 8 hours of run time, making it ideal for applications beyond the usual daily working pattern.
All footage captured on a WCCTV Body Camera is encrypted to AES 256-bit standard, making it completely secure and inaccessible to unauthorised users.
WCCTV’s cloud based Evidence Management Software (EMS) provides simple and secure management of videos taken from a WCCTV Body Worn Camera.
UK Manufactured Body Camera
The WCCTV Body Camera is a reliable solution for frontline construction teams who face public scrutiny, verbal abuse or safety-critical tasks on a daily basis.
Its one-button operation makes it easy to activate in high-pressure situations, while a configurable pre-record buffer of up to 120 seconds ensures critical footage is never missed.
A forward-facing screen acts as a clear deterrent to aggression, and the 1080p HD camera records high-quality video and audio to support incident reviews or legal proceedings.
Lightweight and comfortable, the device integrates seamlessly into day-to-day operations without disrupting work. Every unit is UK-manufactured and features AES 256-bit encryption, ensuring full data security and compliance.
When paired with WCCTV’s Evidence Management Software, the body camera becomes part of a complete, secure platform for collecting and managing video evidence.

Rental and Purchase Options
Construction sites are constantly changing, with different safety challenges emerging across project phases. WCCTV offers body cameras on both rental and purchase plans, giving you full control over how and when you deploy them.
Rental: Our rental service is ideal for short-term projects, high-risk phases, or when trialling body cameras before wider rollout. There are no upfront costs, no servicing or storage burdens, and you only pay for the cameras when they’re in use.
Purchase: For long-term builds or companies looking to permanently equip their workforce, purchasing ensures cameras are always available and fully integrated into your safety culture. A consistent setup across teams helps streamline training and usage.
Both rental and purchase options come with full UK-based technical support, ongoing diagnostics, and access to our secure Evidence Management Software.
