WCCTV’s rapid deployment CCTV Towers provide an immediate security presence, deterring threats and ensuring real-time surveillance for operational and newly developed sites.

Specialist Security for Water Infrastructure
Cost-Effective Security Without Long-Term Commitments
Not every security challenge will require a permanent or fixed CCTV network. Water facilities undergoing upgrades, expansions or maintenance benefit more from a temporary or adaptable solution that safeguards equipment, infrastructure and personnel.
Purchasing security equipment comes with significant upfront costs and the added burden of storage, maintenance and upgrades. Renting a CCTV Tower from WCCTV provides immediate security without hidden financial commitments, keeping your site protected with no surprise costs.
With rental options, you can scale security as needed - deploy towers where and when they’re required, then adjust your coverage as projects progress or risks change.
Prevent unauthorised access, protect vital infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted operations with WCCTV’s flexible rental solutions.
Flexible Protection Without Long-Term Costs
Water facilities often require temporary security solutions to protect sites during upgrades, maintenance work or infrastructure expansions. Renting CCTV provides cost-effective protection without the expense and hassle of purchasing.
With WCCTV’s rental service, you get specialist security without the burden of ownership. We handle delivery, installation, monitoring, maintenance and removal, delivering key benefits including:
We Don’t Just Record Crime – We Prevent It

With CCTV surveillance, live monitoring and mobile response, WCCTV delivers a complete security solution, keeping your facility protected while you focus on operations.
Water Infrastructure Security Case Study
Anglian Water’s @One Alliance launched a project to upgrade the Wittering Water Recycling Centre, installing new phosphorous removal equipment to improve river water quality.
Having experienced security challenges on past projects, they needed a reliable security provider with a strong track record in infrastructure protection. The site's remote location meant a fully autonomous security solution was essential.
WCCTV deployed an ECO Site Tower and a Solar Fuel Cell Tower, delivering security without reliance on diesel generators. These units provided live video monitoring, built-in audio deterrents, infrared detection and 360° surveillance, securing the site throughout the project.
The result? No security incidents or theft, ensuring the project remained on schedule without unexpected costs or delays.
Mark Allen, Site Manager at Skanska, working on behalf of @One Alliance, said: "We tend to use WCCTV quite a bit. It’s been relatively straightforward and we haven’t had any break-ins or anything like that."
