Reliable Security for Scotland’s Temporary Sites
WCCTV supplies rapid deployment CCTV towers to protect people, property and projects across Scotland. Our mobile units can be installed in minutes, deliver high-definition video surveillance and are backed by live monitoring and a fully managed service.
With built-in wireless transmission technology, onboard recording and a highly visible 7m camera mast, our towers are a powerful deterrent that helps to prevent theft, trespass and disruption.
Whether you're protecting public spaces, infrastructure works, remote assets or vacant property in Scotland, our portable towers can be deployed to provide temporary security wherever needed with no fixed power or internet required.
We can provide towers with multiple powering options, including mains, generator, solar, fuel cell or hybrid options, depending on site requirements.
From our office in Edinburgh, we can support sites across the whole of Scotland with a fully-managed service that includes installation, monitoring, maintenance and support, ensuring hassle-free protection from start to finish.
Why We Are Scotland's Leading Security Supplier
Our towers can be on-site and operational in minutes, with no need for groundworks, cabling or fixed infrastructure, providing immediate security for temporary or evolving risks.
We offer solar, fuel cell, battery and generator-powered towers to suit your site location, whether you're in central Edinburgh or a remote rural area.
We can proactively secure your site or property with live alarm monitoring through our NSI Gold accredited partners, ensuring real-time response to any incident.
Our CCTV Towers utilise AI-based video analytics to automatically detect unauthorised movement while filtering out false triggers. This ensures that only genuine threats are escalated, thereby speeding up the response and avoiding unnecessary disruption.
The 7m tall, bright yellow mast of our CCTV Tower serves as an immediate deterrent to criminal activity. This deterrence is enhanced by the unit's integrated voice-down speakers, alarms, and blue lights that can be triggered automatically.
View and control your cameras anytime via desktop or mobile using WCCTV’s encrypted viewing software with no ongoing licence costs.
We handle everything from delivery and setup to maintenance, monitoring and support so you can focus on your project.
Solutions for Any Location
Our range of rapid deployment CCTV Towers covers every use case, site condition and deployment duration.
The Eco Tower provides high-performance security for sites with limited generator use or phased power schedules. It runs independently for up to 150 hours and recharges using existing site infrastructure.
The Solar Fuel Cell Tower offers complete power autonomy for remote or off-grid locations. It is ideal for sites without fixed infrastructure and long-term deployments where refuelling and maintenance access are limited.
The Thermal Tower combines all the standard features of our towers with thermal cameras to detect activity in compact compounds and yards.
The Smart Tower delivers analytics-led surveillance and system health monitoring. It suits complex projects where proactive threat detection and system diagnostics are essential.
The Traffic Management Tower is designed for highway works and major road projects. It features multi-camera functionality, real-time alerts and power autonomy.
Every tower is backed by our managed service and available to rent on short or long-term terms.

Securing Projects and Properties Across Scotland
WCCTV’s rapid deployment CCTV towers are trusted by organisations across Scotland that require immediate, highly visible security without the delays and disruptions of installing fixed infrastructure. They’re commonly deployed by:
Construction and demolition firms securing sites, compounds and perimeters in cities, towns and remote rural locations throughout Scotland.
Local authorities tackling issues such as fly-tipping, vandalism and anti-social behaviour in parks, estates and town centres.
Highways and traffic contractors overseeing overnight works, traffic diversions and street-level infrastructure upgrades across Scotland’s major routes and remote roads.
Critical infrastructure operators protecting substations, pumping stations, water treatment works and other essential utilities during upgrades, new constructions or outages.
Rail contractors and operators safeguarding trackside compounds, temporary access points, materials and welfare units during engineering works.
Vacant property and asset managers securing disused buildings, abandoned sites and land awaiting redevelopment to prevent trespass and illegal occupation.
Whether you're managing a construction site in Scotland or planning a temporary event, our towers provide fast, visible and dependable security coverage across Scotland.
Trusted Across Every Scottish Sector
Protect live sites, plant, compounds and perimeters during all stages of a build. Towers offer an immediate presence on even the most remote projects across Scotland.
Prevent trespass and damage to unoccupied buildings or land awaiting redevelopment. Ideal for managing security without full-time guards.
Support overnight works, lane closures and diversion management on key roads and arterial routes. Deploy and relocate towers without delay.
Secure utility sites and remote assets with standalone surveillance. Perfect for water, power and telecom sites undergoing maintenance or upgrades.

Real-Time Monitoring, Real Results
WCCTV’s CCTV towers don’t just record what happens, they actively help prevent it.
Our live monitoring service connects your tower to an NSI-Gold Accredited partner monitoring station, where trained operatives watch over your site in real time whenever an alert is triggered.
When movement is detected, operators assess the footage live, issue an audio challenge to intruders if needed and escalate to mobile responders or police if the threat continues.
This proactive approach helps stop break-ins, prevent damage and minimise costly downtime, especially on high-risk or remote Scottish sites where incidents may otherwise go unnoticed.
You receive full incident reports and video clips after every activation, giving you complete visibility of how your site is being protected.
Trained Responders When You Need Them Most
If an incident is confirmed during live monitoring, our mobile keyholding teams can be dispatched directly to site to investigate and respond.
There’s no need to risk your own team or be woken up in the middle of the night to hear that there's an intruder alert; our licensed responders handle everything.
This service is available exclusively with WCCTV’s temporary CCTV towers and provides a critical layer of support during out-of-hours periods or on isolated sites.
Whether it’s checking for signs of intrusion, securing a breach or liaising with emergency services, our keyholding teams are trained to act quickly and decisively.
It’s a safer, simpler way to maintain site security without the pressure falling on your staff.
