Reduce security costs by up to
0%
As one of the UK’s largest cities, Birmingham is undergoing rapid development, from transport infrastructure and commercial builds to major residential schemes. But with growth comes increased security risks.
Construction sites are frequent targets for theft, vandalism and trespassing, especially in densely populated or poorly lit areas. These incidents lead to project delays, insurance claims and rising costs.
WCCTV offers rapid deployment CCTV systems backed by live monitoring and a fully managed service. Whether your site is in Digbeth, Perry Barr, or the city centre, we help keep your project moving and protect your assets.
Security Built for Birmingham’s Construction Boom
From long-term regeneration schemes to short-term fit-outs, Birmingham’s construction sites are varied, exposed and constantly evolving. WCCTV’s rapid deployment security systems are designed to deliver immediate protection without the complexity of traditional setups.
Our systems help Birmingham's construction industry:
Deter and detect crime in real time
Monitor site activity remotely
Capture time lapse footage for progress tracking
Every deployment comes with a fully managed service:
System hire, installation and maintenance
24/7 live video monitoring and mobile response
Remote access and detailed reporting
Whatever stage your site is at, we’ll handle the security so you can focus on delivery.
Reliable. Scalable. Built for Birmingham Builds
We provide a complete end-to-end service from site surveys and installation to monitoring, maintenance and support. You don’t need to worry about power, connectivity, system uptime or incident response - we take care of everything.
Our systems don’t just record crime; they prevent it. Our live monitoring, audio challenges and evidential footage work to deter intruders before damage occurs. Our units also support HD time lapse capture, helping you track progress, communicate with stakeholders and manage projects remotely.
No matter the length of your project or the size of your site, we have a security solution that will work for you - with no long term contracts or upfront purchase costs. Get the security you need, when and where you need it, without the hassle of capital purchases.
Standing 7m tall, WCCTV’s Towers are painted bright yellow and clearly branded. They act as an immediate deterrent, warning off potential intruders before they strike.
All systems are monitored by WCCTV’s NSI Gold Accredited monitoring partners, who respond to threats the moment they occur. You also get full access to live and recorded footage via our mobile app and desktop platform to remotely manage your sites.
We can deploy within hours, and because our systems are self-contained, they can be relocated as your site layout changes - allow you to adapt your coverage to shifting site layouts of changing needs.
Our rental model typically reduces security costs by up to 88% compared to traditional guarding while delivering more consistent coverage, faster response and evidential footage.
With regional engineers covering Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, we provide rapid response, technical support and site visits when you need them.
High-Visibility Security That Goes Up in Minutes
WCCTV’s Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers are the go-to solution for construction site security. At 7m tall, they provide a highly visible deterrent backed by live video monitoring, HD cameras and infrared night vision.
With no need for power, internet or permanent infrastructure, our Towers can be deployed in under an hour and relocated as your site evolves.
Power options include solar, hybrid and fuel cell models, making them suitable for inner-city builds, off-grid infrastructure projects or anything in between.
Each unit is connected to WCCTV’s NSI Gold Accredited monitoring partners, who assess and respond to threats in real time to issue audio warnings and coordinate escalation if needed.
If you're building in Birmingham and need security that works from day one, the Tower is the answer.
Compact Cameras for Constrained Sites
Not every project has the space or access for a CCTV Tower. Our Redeployable Cameras offer a compact security solution for projects in Birmingham’s busy city centre.
Each unit is fitted with a 1080p HD camera, infrared night vision and PTZ functionality. Built-in 4G/5G means no internet is required, and when paired with solar, they operate completely off-grid.
Redeployable Cameras are Perfect for:
High-footfall areas and restricted zones
Projects where power and connectivity are limited
Sensitive refurbishments and heritage schemes
Supplementing Tower coverage on larger sites
Compact enough to deploy anywhere, smart enough to deter and detect threats, Redeployable CCTV is a scalable yet powerful security solution.

We Don't Just Record Crime. We Prevent It.
The video below shows how WCCTV’s live-monitored CCTV Towers detect and deter intruders in real time. Most leave immediately after receiving an audio or visual warning. If they don’t, our monitoring team works directly with police and keyholders to coordinate a rapid response, helping to prevent theft, vandalism and delays to your project
Our theft prevention gallery shows many more examples of how live monitored CCTV cameras prevent crime and increase construction site security, take a look:
Don’t Just Record Crime. Prevent It.
CCTV alone isn’t enough. Without live monitoring, incidents are only discovered after damage is done. WCCTV’s systems are actively monitored by NSI Gold Accredited professionals who intervene in real time when a threat is detected.
Using infrared sensors, our Towers, Domes and Hornets create a virtual perimeter around your site. If it’s breached, our operators are instantly alerted and take immediate action.
How Our Monitoring Process Works:
Real-time alerts sent to our monitoring centre
Live audio challenges to deter intruders
Rapid escalation to police or keyholders if needed
All incidents recorded, reviewed and reported
Whether you’re building in the city centre, on the ring road or beyond, our monitoring helps stop crime before it impacts your site.
We Respond So You Don’t Have To
When your site’s under threat, you don’t want to be woken up in the middle of the night or pulled away from another job.
WCCTV’s Mobile Keyholding service ensures that trained professionals respond to incidents so you don’t have to.
If an intrusion is verified, our monitoring partners dispatch mobile security teams to investigate, secure the site and file a full report.
Our Keyholding Service Covers:
Fast response to verified alarms
No need for your staff to attend
Site secured, incident logged and reported
Seamless escalation as part of your managed service
It’s an extra layer of protection that keeps your project moving without adding to your workload.

Securing What Matters Most in Birmingham
Building Services Now (BSN) was contracted to construct Woodland House, a dedicated bereavement centre at Birmingham Women’s Hospital that supports families experiencing pregnancy or baby loss, creating a space for privacy and reflection.
The project’s city-centre location presented logistical challenges, including tight access, limited storage and a need for minimal disruption to the live hospital environment.
To ensure the site remained secure throughout the build, WCCTV deployed a Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower with integrated time lapse functionality. The Tower delivered 24/7 protection, acting as both a visual deterrent and an active monitoring solution.
The system operated independently of mains power or internet, allowing for quick installation without delays. The time lapse footage also served as a visual record of the build, ideal for stakeholder updates and future promotional use.
