In a saturated world of security systems, we explore CCTV Towers, their benefits and what industries suit them best.
The world of security is ever-developing in order to create innovative products and services that support various industries in enhancing their security and safety. However, with this choice comes the difficulty of establishing what measures best suit you.
A move towards mobile CCTV has allowed for the creation of advanced systems that provide more than just a recording device, one being CCTV Towers.
The use of CCTV Towers has grown due to the multitude of benefits provided across multiple industries, whether it be construction and critical infrastructure to vacant property and public spaces.
What are the Benefits of CCTV Towers?
Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers deliver an incredible range of unique benefits that are unmatched by traditional fixed CCTV systems.
These units can be utilised for any site that requires temporary or portable surveillance, with typical deployment scenarios including construction site security, critical national infrastructure security, safety management at public events and highways project security.
As market-leaders in Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers, we have over 20-years of experience in security solutions and supporting multiple industries with this.
Through our continued work to remain innovative with our service, our CCTV Towers offer benefits that provide enhanced protection in which our competitors may not be able to.
Below we outline the benefits of CCTV Towers, both generally and with ourselves:
Quick and Easy Installation
Installing fixed CCTV cameras across your sites is both an expensive and labour-intensive process, whereas deploying a CCTV Tower couldn't be easier.
With a Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower, there's no need to run power or network cabling to the cameras, allowing you to get near-immediate surveillance coverage of your locations.
These self-contained systems require only one engineer and 20-minutes to set up, meaning your security can be live in an instant, in many cases.
This makes them the most convenient and rapid response in tackling your security and surveillance requirements.
The video below shows the installation process for our Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower - it really is that easy to have our system up and running in minutes.
Fully Autonomous Security
Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower delivers complete autonomy on every level. They can be entirely self-powered, with high-performance solar panels supporting an ultra long-run fuel cell. This makes the system ideal for off-grid locations or any site without power facilities.
Designed to be fully mobile and flexible to your needs, Towers work independently to any mains power or internet, utilising cellular connectivity and alternative power sources to protect your sites.
This allows them to reach off-grid locations or rural sites where they may not have the availability of their own power or internet.
However, most importantly with our Towers, we specialise in ensuring live and recorded video can be delivered via mobile networks, providing the extra reassurance that you view video autonomously.
This means you can access the CCTV cameras straight from any device, wherever you are, or send the images straight to our video monitoring partners and let them do all the work for you.
As much as the powering and cellular connectivity of your system is central to the autonomy of it, to be completely mobile, a CCTV Tower’s design also needs to be aligned with this.
Advanced units like ourselves, will have considered this factor deeply, ensuring that no columns or infrastructure is required to mount your CCTV cameras.
Our offering provides a self-mounted CCTV solution that can be moved to various locations, allowing it to remain flexible to your needs and protect against any security developments that occur.
Essentially, it provides an all-in-one, versatile solution that works across multiple industries.
Cost-Effective
A CCTV Tower can provide cost efficiencies from several perspectives.
If you're looking to secure a temporary location like a construction site or public event, or have a short-term surveillance requirement such as tackling anti-social behaviour, fly-tipping, or providing community reassurance, then installing fixed security cameras isn't economical.
A Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower removes the up-front cost of installing cameras and allows you the flexibility of moving the system to a new location as your requirements change. Over time, the system will pay for itself as you move it from site to site.
For increased flexibility, WCCTV provides its CCTV Towers on a rental basis - meaning you only pay for the systems when you actually need them.
For example, renting them to protect your construction site, property or critical infrastructure or can work out up to 88%* cheaper than using security guards - without compromising quality, reliability or results.
Environmentally Friendly
With an increasing social focus and consciousness developing around environmental issues and reaching Net Zero, especially within the construction industry, sourcing a CCTV system with a renewable and clean power source is a wise investment.
Unlike most other Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers, our units utilise solar powering, backed by environmentally friendly fuel cells that provide up to 20 weeks of power.
This is in stark contrast to standard CCTV Towers that rely on diesel power or other less environmentally friendly sources.
Having a clean, autonomous power source for your CCTV cameras also means you won't have to run generators to keep them powered, reducing your carbon footprint even further.
And for boosted support, we provide add-ons of site condition monitoring sensors to our CCTV Towers which allow you to monitor key environmental factors such as, CO2 emissions, dust, weather and vibrations.
Normally, this would need to be provided separately, however, we aim to make your experience as stress-free as possible whilst also helping maintain conditions at a safe level and providing insight on how to reduce their impact.
Complete Security Solution
Our Rapid Deployment CCTV is an all-in-one security solution. Standing up to 6 metres tall and painted bright yellow, they provide a unique visible deterrent to opportunist thieves.
Their effectiveness as a deterrent is further enhanced by their integrated blue light sirens and voice-down audio challenge systems.
If the CCTV Tower fails to deter a criminal, its HD PTZ camera will capture all activity in crystal-clear HD quality, allowing for evidence gathering and Police investigation.
We also back all our CCTV Towers with remote monitoring services from an NSI Gold Accredited alarm receiving centre, which acts as a virtual security guard keeping watch over your property.
They actively monitor your site 24/7, assessing threats and responding appropriately to them when they are presented. This provides you with the best chance of prevention and in proactively intercepting crime to avoid it impacting your business.
Fully-Managed Security Service
Many suppliers will simply provide you with the CCTV Towers, and although these provide you with enhanced security protection due to their design and camera capabilities, it’s also important that you have the right service to back it with.
That’s where our expertise lies. WCCTV provides a fully-managed service alongside our Towers that allows the burden of security to be lifted from yourselves and provided to trained security professionals.
From the installation of your CCTV Towers, to the ongoing support, even to the decommissioning of them, we support in all aspects to ensure stress-free security for your business.
Who Should Use CCTV Towers?
Understanding all these benefits is only useful if you know it will support you and your security needs, otherwise it’s just another security solution in an already saturated market.
Having been supplying CCTV Towers since 2001, we’ve worked with various businesses and gained key insights from those we work with on the successes of this type of security solution.
During this, we have also established the weak spots around them which has allowed us to improve both our product and service for our clients, in which we continually put the effort in to do so.
Through our work and with over 20-years of experiences in the world of security, we have established the key applications that would generally benefit from CCTV Towers:
- Construction Site Security
- Critical Infrastructure Security
- Demolition Project Security
- Rail Projects Monitoring
- Highways Projects Monitoring

Why Should You Use CCTV Towers?
Having heard the various benefits and industries suited to CCTV Towers, they are generally considered the most well-rounded security solution for most businesses.
However, in comparison to other security measures such as perimeter fencing and security guards, CCTV Towers have the capabilities to cover all your needs.
No risk for human error, sick days or holidays. And with the power to both visibly deter criminals whilst monitoring and recording your site 24/7, you receive accurate and targeted protection in which alternative solutions cannot manage.
We want to provide convenient, cost-effective security without the need to skimp on the quality of your service.
