Reduce security costs by up to
0%
Newcastle’s construction sector is thriving, with developments spanning the city centre, Quayside, and outer suburbs. However, increased demand and tight delivery windows make projects more vulnerable to disruption.
Sites are often exposed out of hours, and equipment, tools and materials are at risk from trespass, theft, and vandalism. These incidents delay progress and drive up costs.
WCCTV provides rapid deployment security systems that combine visibility, flexibility and real-time response. Backed by live monitoring and expert support, they help contractors in Newcastle protect their projects without adding to already busy workloads.
Smarter Security That Keeps Projects Moving
Managing a construction site in Newcastle comes with challenges: tight footprints, active public spaces, and growing pressure on timelines. Security needs to be fast, flexible and effective from day one.
Our rapid deployment CCTV systems are installed by experts, monitored in real time and supported throughout your project. Whether you’re working on a city-centre regeneration or an out-of-town housing scheme, we deliver tailored protection that evolves with your site.
WCCTV provides Newcastle contractors with:
Immediate deterrence and detection of threats
Remote access to live and recorded footage
Optional time lapse functionality for project tracking
A managed service including installation, monitoring and response
Let us handle your site security so you can focus on delivering the build.
Proven Protection. Delivered Without Disruption
When it comes to securing your sites, we take care of everything. From system delivery and setup to monitoring, maintenance and support, we handle the process so your team doesn’t have to.
Our cameras provide much more than passive recording; they are a protective theft deterrent system backed by live monitoring and real-time alerts. Our cameras also double up as time lapse video recording systems, allowing you to monitor progress daily.
Rent whichever security unit you need for as long as you need it. Once your project wraps up, we collect the equipment and you don’t have to worry about storage or maintenance.
Our high-visibility units and live audio warnings stop threats before they escalate. Intruders are detected early and challenged immediately.
You can access live and recorded footage from any device. Or leave it to our NSI Gold Accredited monitoring team to watch over the site on your behalf.
Our rapid deployment systems are easy to reposition. As your site layout changes, we can reconfigure your coverage without delay.
Cut costs by up to 88 percent compared to manned guarding. You get reliable protection at a lower price with fewer headaches.
From our HQ in Newcastle, we can provide local service and in-territory support, backed by the leverage of our national footprint and status as the UK's leading construction site security provider.
Visible Protection That Stops Crime Before It Starts
WCCTV’s rapid deployment CCTV Towers provide an immediate and visible security presence for construction sites across Newcastle.
Standing 7m tall and painted bright yellow, they act as a strong deterrent and allow for real-time detection and response.
Each unit is fitted with HD cameras, infrared night vision, and wireless connectivity. They’re fully self-contained, meaning no power or internet is required. Towers can be installed quickly, making them ideal for early-stage builds or sites where speed is critical.
We offer solar, hybrid and fuel cell power options to suit your site’s layout and access. All systems are backed by live monitoring, mobile response and a fully managed service that keeps you covered from day one.
Smart Coverage, Smaller Footprint
Not every construction site in Newcastle has room for a CCTV Tower. For smaller compounds, enclosed works or phased builds, WCCTV’s redeployable CCTV cameras provides a compact and highly effective alternative.
Each unit features 4G/5G connectivity, infrared night vision and solar power options. They install quickly, relocate easily and deliver reliable protection without the need for fixed infrastructure.
With PTZ functionality, 1080p HD video and intelligent analytics, our redeployable CCTV systems help you monitor risk areas, capture incidents clearly and respond in real time.
Every system is connected to live monitoring and supported by our fully managed service.

The Hornet Can Be Deployed To:
Compounds, scaffolding and pedestrian-facing zones
Entry points and blind spots
Sites with no power or internet
Short-term works and pop-up builds
Installation takes minutes. Protection starts instantly.

We Don't Record Crime. We Prevent It.
The video below demonstrates how our live-monitored cameras detect and deter intruders. Most will leave as soon as they hear our audio challenge, but 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.

Stop Threats Before They Escalate
CCTV that simply records isn’t enough. WCCTV’s systems are backed by live video monitoring, so intruders are spotted and challenged before any damage is done.
Using built-in infrared sensors, our systems create a virtual perimeter around your site. When triggered, real-time alerts are sent to our NSI Gold Accredited monitoring partners, who issue live audio warnings and coordinate an immediate response if needed.
How We Prevent Crime in Real Time:
Motion detection triggers alerts
Operators verify activity instantly
Live audio warnings deter intruders
Rapid escalation to keyholders or police
It’s more than just surveillance. It’s proactive, responsive site protection.
We Respond So You Don’t Have To
When your site is targeted, a fast and professional response makes all the difference.
WCCTV’s Mobile Keyholding service adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring trained security personnel are dispatched when an incident is confirmed.
If our monitoring partners detect a verified threat, a mobile response unit will attend your site to investigate, secure the area and document what happened. The unit then shares a detailed incident report with your team.
This means you won’t need to send staff out in the middle of the night or respond to callouts yourself. You stay focused on the build while we manage the disruption.

Securing What Matters Most in the North East
Farrans Construction was appointed by Northumbrian Water to deliver a major infrastructure project across the Tees Valley. The scheme involves laying 57km of new pipeline to improve water resilience for over 200,000 customers.
To support the works, Farrans established a series of temporary compounds along the route. These sites housed valuable plant, equipment and materials, making them a target for theft and trespassing - especially outside of working hours.
WCCTV supplied rapid deployment CCTV Towers to protect each compound. Operating without fixed power or internet, the Towers provided 24/7 coverage, acted as a visible deterrent and enabled real-time response to any threat.
Our fully managed service allowed Farrans to secure their compounds quickly and confidently, with no disruption to the wider project.

Monitor Site Conditions Without Guesswork
Alongside our security systems, WCCTV provides sensor-based monitoring solutions to help contractors in Newcastle manage site compliance, reduce disruption and protect their reputation.
Our sensor packs are ideal for urban environments, heritage zones and sites near sensitive properties such as schools or hospitals. They provide continuous data on:
Noise levels for Section 61 compliance
Dust, particles and air quality
Localised weather conditions
All data is displayed in real time via a cloud dashboard. Automated alerts can be set based on thresholds, helping you respond quickly and avoid project delays or environmental breaches.

Yes. We provide security systems across the wider North East, including Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Team Valley and surrounding areas.
Can You Secure Multiple Sites at the Same Time?
Absolutely. We regularly support contractors with multiple compounds or live sites across different locations. Each system is deployed, monitored and supported as part of one fully managed service.
How Do You Choose the Right Security System for Each Site?
We conduct a site survey and recommend the best mix of CCTV Towers, redeployable CCTV or Hornet PID units based on layout, risk level and infrastructure.
What Happens if an Alarm Is Triggered Out of Hours?
Our NSI Gold Accredited monitoring team verifies the alert, issues a live audio warning and, if needed, dispatches a mobile keyholder or contacts the police.
