Real Security, Real Response
Live monitoring transforms CCTV cameras from passive recording device into proactive security solutions.
Rather than simply capturing footage or gathering evidence of crimes that occur, WCCTV’s monitored systems help detect threats early and trigger a real-time response to prevent damage, theft or disruption.
When motion is detected, our trained operatives review the situation live, issue a direct audio warning if needed and escalate to mobile keyholders or police if necessary.
Every alert is assessed quickly, providing a smarter and faster way to protect people, property, and assets.
Live monitoring adds a proactive layer of security to your system, helping you minimise loss, reduce downtime and maintain full confidence that your site, property or project is protected at all times.
Protection That Reacts When It Matters Most
Monitoring means suspicious activity is detected and assessed live. Intruders are challenged before they cause damage, rather than incidents being recorded for review after the fact.
If a threat is verified, an audio challenge is issued directly to the site. Most intruders leave immediately once they know they have been seen and challenged.
When an incident requires a physical response, monitoring teams act quickly. They contact keyholders or dispatch police based on the agreed response plan for your site.
Stopping incidents before they escalate helps prevent material loss, site damage and programme delays. It protects your project, your budget and your reputation.
Monitoring is delivered over 4G or 5G networks, meaning your cameras can be fully operational without mains power or broadband. Ideal for remote, temporary or developing sites.
Live monitoring strengthens your duty of care. It shows you have active measures in place to protect people, assets and third parties, supporting insurance, audits and regulatory compliance.
There is no need for additional hardware or complex integration. Monitoring is built into every WCCTV system, meaning setup is fast, reliable and professionally managed.
You do not have to watch cameras yourself, chase alerts or respond to alarms. Everything is handled on your behalf so you stay protected without the distraction.
Respond Before the Damage Is Done
When your CCTV system is actively monitored, you are no longer relying on luck to keep your site safe. The moment suspicious activity is detected, an alert is raised.
Operators connect live to your cameras, assess the situation within seconds, and take immediate action.
If it is an intruder, a direct audio challenge is issued. A live voice warning alerts the intruder that they have been detected and that the site is protected. In most cases, this is enough to send them running without causing any damage.
If the threat continues, the response escalates. Keyholders are contacted, and police are dispatched if needed. Every second counts, and the entire process is designed to intervene before you suffer loss, vandalism or disruption.
After an incident, you receive a detailed report outlining what happened, the actions taken and the outcome. Video clips from the event are also included, giving you clear evidence of the response.
Live monitoring doesn't just watch your site, it actively defends it.

How Quickly Can WCCTV Set Up a Monitored CCTV System?
In most cases, we can install and activate a monitored system within 24 to 48 hours. Our team assesses your site and sets everything up, ready for immediate protection.
Can WCCTV Systems Be Monitored Without Fixed Power or Broadband?
Yes. Our CCTV units operate independently, using solar, battery or fuel cell power and transmitting footage over 4G or 5G networks. Monitoring is fully functional without fixed infrastructure.
What Happens When Suspicious Activity Is Detected?
When a motion alert is triggered, a trained operative connects live to your cameras, assesses the situation and issues a live audio challenge if needed. If the threat continues, they escalate to keyholders or police based on the agreed response plan.
Does WCCTV Monitor Any CCTV Camera?
No. WCCTV’s monitoring service is exclusively for WCCTV systems. We do not monitor third-party cameras or systems supplied by other providers. This ensures full reliability, integration and accountability.
Does WCCTV Own Its Own Monitoring Station?
No. WCCTV chooses to work with trusted third-party NSI Gold Accredited monitoring centres. This guarantees full transparency and ensures that if an incident is missed, it cannot be hidden or excused internally. It provides a clearer picture of equipment performance and operator response quality.
What Are the Benefits of Live Monitoring Compared to Unmonitored CCTV?
Live monitoring turns CCTV into a proactive tool. It allows threats to be challenged in real time, prevents damage and theft, and ensures incidents are managed before they escalate. Unmonitored cameras can only record what has already happened.

Can I Access Footage and Incident Reports After an Alert?
