Protecting Projects Across Manchester
WCCTV supplies mobile CCTV towers for hire across Manchester and the surrounding areas. Our towers are designed for temporary, high-risk or evolving sites that require immediate security with no delay or infrastructure.
Each tower features a 7m mast with an HD PTZ camera, built-in video recording, wireless transmission and remote access via our free desktop and mobile viewing platforms. Systems are installed by WCCTV engineers and ready to operate in minutes.
Our towers can be deployed to areas without fixed power or Internet and are available in generator-compatible, solar-powered or fuel cell-powered formats. That means complete coverage even in the most remote, restricted or exposed locations.
From our head office in Greater Manchester, we can quickly supply CCTV Towers for city centre redevelopments, infrastructure upgrades, and remote asset protection.
We provide the coverage, deterrent and flexibility that Manchester construction projects, vacant properties, temporary events and other short-term security requirements need.
Why We Are Manchester's Leading Security Supplier
Our towers are delivered, installed and operational in minutes, giving you instant security without the delays of fixed infrastructure.
Choose from generator-compatible, hybrid, solar or fuel cell power. Every tower is matched to your site’s layout and available infrastructure.
A 7m bright yellow mast and prominent camera setup act as a clear warning to potential intruders, helping to prevent incidents before they occur.
CCTV Towers use intelligent analytics to detect unauthorised movement while filtering out false triggers like wildlife, wind or debris. This ensures only genuine threats are escalated, speeding up response and avoiding unnecessary disruption.
When combined with our live video monitoring service, suspicious activity is detected and responded to in real time by trained security professionals.
All towers come with full-service support, including installation, maintenance, remote diagnostics, monitoring and mobile keyholding response.
Our free desktop software platform and mobile app give you direct access to your cameras any time from anywhere allowing you to keep an eye on site progress and view any security alerts.
Solutions for Every Site in Manchester
We supply the UK’s most complete range of mobile CCTV Towers, giving Manchester-based sites access to the right unit for any location.

Built for the Demands of Manchester’s Sites
Installed on residential, commercial and infrastructure projects to monitor compounds, perimeters and access points. Towers provide visible, 24-hour protection from the earliest groundwork to final handover.
Used to oversee night works, diversion routes and equipment storage. Towers offer live visibility, reduce risk and help meet safety requirements during short- and long-term projects.
Used to secure empty sites and buildings against trespass, vandalism and squatting. No power or internet required, making them ideal for short- or long-term cover.
Relied on by councils to combat fly-tipping, anti-social behaviour and estate crime. Easily redeployed to hotspots and integrated into enforcement operations.
Deployed throughout demolition works to secure plant, monitor safety, deter intrusion and document progress. Footage helps with compliance and incident review.
Installed on temporary compounds, trackside access points and welfare areas. Supports safety, protects assets and enables compliance across rail maintenance and upgrade works.
We Don't Record Crime, We Prevent It
Remote video monitoring transforms your CCTV tower from a passive deterrent into an active security solution. It means your Manchester site is watched in real time, with human intervention ready to act if a threat emerges.
When motion is detected, our NSI Gold accredited monitoring partners receive an immediate alert. They connect to the tower live, assess what’s happening and issue a direct audio challenge to any intruder. In most cases, this is enough to stop the incident.
If the risk persists, the response escalates. Mobile keyholders are dispatched and the police are notified where appropriate. Every second counts, and every incident is handled as a priority.
Our monitoring service helps protect construction projects, infrastructure works and vacant buildings throughout Greater Manchester. Whether you’re operating overnight, over a weekend or on a long-term timeline, it delivers the confidence that your site is secure.
You receive incident reports after every activation, including a summary of the response and video evidence.
Physical Response When It Matters Most
Even the best technology needs real people behind it. That’s where our mobile keyholding service comes in.
When a WCCTV tower is deployed with live monitoring, you can add keyholding as an optional extra to ensure a rapid, on-the-ground response to any incident. If an activation occurs and remote audio warnings don’t deter the intruder, our licensed mobile guards are dispatched directly to your site.
They’ll investigate the situation, provide access to emergency services if required, and ensure your site is secured again before leaving.
Keyholding helps reduce the need for your staff to attend out-of-hours callouts or put themselves at risk. It also ensures every incident is met with a controlled, professional response, even during the middle of the night.
This service is only available with WCCTV’s monitored towers and can be added at the start of your hire or any time during your deployment.
