Compact Detection for Exposed Site Areas

Hornet Perimeter Intrusion Detection (PID) System

The WCCTV Hornet is a compact perimeter intrusion detection system designed to secure the most vulnerable areas of a construction site. It’s ideal for locations such as remote edges, pedestrian access points or temporary compounds.

Each unit includes motion detection, a 360° camera, visible deterrents and live audio challenge capability. When activity is detected, an alert is sent to our NSI Gold Accredited monitoring partners, who dial in to assess the situation and take action.

Where the Hornet Works Best:

  • Plant and fuel storage areas

  • Unsecured perimeters or site entrances

  • Blind spots and temporary work zones

  • Short-duration or high-turnover projects

Fast to install, easy to relocate and fully monitored, the Hornet gives you an extra layer of protection exactly where it’s needed.

Theft Prevention Gallery

Your Virtual Security Guard

Live Video Monitoring for Construction Sites

Deploying a CCTV Tower strengthens security on your construction site, but why just record crime when you can stop it in real-time?

With live video monitoring, our NSI Gold Accredited security professionals watch your site and detect suspicious activity outside working hours.

Our CCTV Towers use infrared detection technology to create a virtual perimeter around your site and assets. If an intruder attempts to gain access, our monitoring team is alerted instantly.

This triggers an immediate crime prevention response, including:

  • Live audio warnings to deter intruders
  • Police or security despatch to your site

Stop relying on cameras that just “watch.” Get a security team that acts. Take control with Live Video Monitoring and prevent crime before it happens.

We Respond, So You Don’t Have To

Mobile Keyholding for Added Protection

Add an extra layer of protection alongside our CCTV Towers and live monitoring with Mobile Keyholding Response.

If an intrusion is detected, our monitoring team can dispatch mobile security personnel to your site or project to assess and manage the situation.

This ensures a rapid on-site response without the need for the site owner or project manager to be disturbed in the middle of the night.

Instead of taking a 2am call about a break-in, you can rely on trained professionals to handle incidents, secure the site and report back with a full incident log.

With CCTV surveillance, live monitoring and mobile security response, you get full peace of mind knowing that your construction site and the valuable assets are safe without disruption to your team.

Construction Security Case Study

Real Results: Willmott Dixon and WCCTV

Willmott Dixon, one of the UK’s largest construction firms, was contracted to build a new custody suite for Dyfed Powys Police. With no power on site, they needed a fully autonomous security solution to prevent theft and project delays.

WCCTV supplied a fully autonomous CCTV Tower, which, at 7m tall and painted bright yellow, acted as a deterrent while enabling real-time alarm monitoring.

WCCTV’s CCTV Towers also support HD time lapse cameras, allowing Willmott Dixon to document progress. This simplified project management while ensuring continuous security and site monitoring.

Martin James, Site Manager, said: "We get full coverage from WCCTV Systems, with no theft. It’s an excellent system and comparable with other projects we’ve used you on. It’s also great for keeping an eye on the site over the weekend, knowing it’s monitored. It’s been brilliant."
