The systems are monitored remotely on an alarming basis; when intrusion is detected, an audible message is delivered to the intruder. If they do not leave, site escalation to the key holder occurs immediately.

WCCTV's Tower can be rapidly moved from site to site. If power is lost at any time, the system automatically issues an alarm to the control room. It switches to a backup battery located within the tower to enable surveillance to continue. The Tower also has an integral evidential recording device to capture information.

WCCTV was formed in 2001. The Company is a market-leading supplier of mobile surveillance products into utilities, rail, local and national government, traffic and retail organisations within the UK and Europe. The Company has recently opened a US operation. It has won awards from the UK Home Office and a Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
