Visible Support Where It Matters Most
The WCCTV Help Point is a complete public safety solution that connects members of the public to trained operators through a live video and two-way audio link.
When someone presses the assistance button, they’re immediately visible to a CCTV control room, where operators can respond, intervene or escalate based on the situation.
The system includes a high-definition redeployable CCTV camera, a blue light alarm and an integrated audio panel housed in a secure, vandal-resistant enclosure.
The blue light provides an immediate visual signal that the system is active and help is on the way.
Deployed in high-footfall or high-risk locations, the Help Point creates a sense of security while enabling fast, effective action during emergencies, incidents or ongoing risks.
Helping to Reassure, Respond and Deter
The WCCTV Help Point acts as a refuge station, helping promote safer streets and decrease instanced of violence against women and girls.
Connects users to trained CCTV control room operators who can listen, respond and take immediate action based on the nature of the call.
Triggers a bright flashing light when the assistance button is pressed, alerting nearby passers-by and signalling that help has been requested.
The unit provides a strong, overt visual presence that deters antisocial behaviour and supports safer public environments.
Captures live and recorded footage in full HD, giving operators full visibility and providing evidence if further action is required.
Footage, alerts and audio are streamed to local authority or police control rooms, enabling real-time monitoring and fast decision-making.
Developed in collaboration with UK police forces to meet the demands of initiatives such as Safer Streets and community safety plans.

Real-Time Access to Every Interaction
The WCCTV Help Point is fully integrated with Stellifii, our in-house cloud-based platform for video access, system control and live audio response.
Operators can view live footage, access recordings, manage alerts and speak directly to the public from any connected device.

What Is the WCCTV Help Point Designed For?
The Help Point is built to provide the public with direct access to a CCTV control room in high-risk or high-footfall areas. It supports faster response, greater reassurance and visible crime prevention.
How Does the Two-Way Audio Work?
When the assistance button is pressed, the system opens a live audio link between the person in distress and an operator. The operator can hear, speak and coordinate a response immediately.
What Happens When the Alarm Is Activated?
Pressing the button triggers the blue light, alerts the control room and activates the camera. Operators can view the live feed, speak directly and initiate an appropriate response.
Can the System Be Monitored Remotely?
All Help Points are connected to WCCTV’s Stellifii platform, allowing full access to video, audio logs, system status and diagnostics from any desktop or mobile device.
