Facing Risks on Every Shift
Security officers are often the first to respond in high-pressure situations, whether protecting property, managing crowds or preventing theft. These roles frequently involve direct engagement with aggressive individuals, putting staff at high risk of verbal and physical abuse.
The statistics highlight the scale of the challenge:
36% of frontline security staff are physically assaulted every month
51% are verbally abused every time they work
57% experience a negative impact on their mental health after an incident
86% believe violence has increased in the last five years
These conditions create an environment where confrontation can feel inevitable, eroding morale and increasing staff turnover. Addressing these risks is essential to safeguarding both personnel and the public.
A Proven Tool for Protection
Body cameras give security teams the confidence and tools to handle challenging situations more safely and effectively.
Their visible presence helps to deter aggressive behaviour before it escalates, while high-definition video and audio recording capture clear, admissible evidence of any incidents.
Recordings can be used to support prosecutions, defend against false complaints, and provide valuable material for training and performance reviews. The footage also helps managers identify recurring issues and improve operational procedures.
For security officers, knowing that every interaction is recorded offers reassurance and reduces the pressure of confronting aggressive individuals alone.
For employers, body cameras improve accountability, enhance transparency, and help demonstrate a proactive approach to staff welfare.
Protecting Those on the Frontline
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 features.
The device's 1080p video recording capability means you will capture high-quality video evidence, whether for police investigations, identifying individuals for convictions or training employees.
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.
Security teams can hire cameras for short-term or long-term deployments, avoiding large upfront costs and removing the burden of storing unused equipment between jobs.
Proven Protection for Security Professionals
The WCCTV Body Camera is a trusted tool for frontline security teams, combining ease of use with market-leading performance. It helps deter aggressive behaviour, capture high-quality video evidence and provide complete transparency during public interactions.
The unit is designed with a simple one-button start/stop recording function, ensuring staff can activate it instantly in high-pressure situations. A configurable pre-event recording buffer of up to 120 seconds ensures no vital footage is missed.
Its forward-facing screen acts as a visible deterrent, signalling to subjects that their actions are being recorded, which is a proven method for reducing conflict before it escalates.
Body cameras support security teams at public events, in retail environments, on transport hubs or on the high street by offering reliable protection and secure evidence capture.

Proven Safety Impact for Security Staff in Retail
TSS, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of highly-skilled security personnel, has equipped its supermarket guarding teams with WCCTV Body Cameras to improve safety and reduce incidents of abuse.
Before the pandemic, WCCTV units were trialled in higher-risk stores, delivering a 60% drop in reported assaults and aggression. When COVID-19 hit, the programme was rapidly scaled up, with over 600 stores equipped in just weeks.
The cameras act as both a visible deterrent and an evidence-gathering tool, helping to de-escalate conflict while capturing high-quality video and audio for prosecutions. The forward-facing screen has an immediate behavioural impact, reminding individuals they are being recorded.
Since deployment, violent incidents have fallen by 70%, significantly improving safety for security staff, boosting morale, and aiding retention. Footage has been used successfully to support police investigations, helping to create a safer environment for employees and customers alike.
