Improving Security
Security staff are the first line of protection for a wide range of industries and are often called upon to deal with the most challenging situations.
Working in public-facing and high-pressure environments, they are all too often subjected to unacceptable levels of verbal and physical abuse.
Body cameras significantly enhance the safety of your security teams, helping to capture visual and audio evidence of incidents that occur whilst boosting their confidence in dealing with complex situations.
Without the presence of a Body Camera, it's impossible for a security team to learn from difficult situations or secure the evidence they need for prosecutions.
WCCTV provides UK-manufactured body cameras, supported by Evidence Management Software, multi-unit docking stations, and mounting accessories to attach the cameras to any type of clothing.
The cameras are incredibly easy to use, and capture video evidence at the push of a button.
Enhancing Worker Safety
The distinctive forward-facing screen on WCCTV's body cameras plays a significant role in de-escalating conflict. When individuals are aware they are being recorded, their behaviour dramatically improves.
Small, discreet and lightweight, WCCTV's body cameras are barely noticeable to the wearer once they are attached. Despite the unit's compact size, it contains market-leading functionality and features.
The device's 1080p video recording capability means you will capture high-quality video evidence, whether for police investigations, identifying individuals for convictions or training employees.
The optional extended battery pack easily clips onto the bottom of the Body Camera, providing an additional 8 hours of run time, making it ideal for applications beyond the usual daily working pattern.
All footage captured on a WCCTV Body Camera is encrypted to AES 256-bit standard, making it completely secure and inaccessible to unauthorised users.
WCCTV’s cloud based Evidence Management Software (EMS) provides simple and secure management of videos taken from a WCCTV Body Worn Camera.
Enhancing Safety
The statistics regarding verbal and physical abuse directed towards security staff are startling, a study found that:
36% of frontline security staff are physically assaulted every month
51% are verbally abused every time they work
57% say that an incident has affected their mental health after an event
86% of security workers felt that the levels of violence they see and experience had increased in the last five years
The most troubling statistic of all, though, is that 65% of those surveyed felt that physical and verbal abuse was inevitable in their line of work.
At WCCTV, we don't believe anyone should have to suffer these unacceptable levels of abuse and our body cameras are proven to have a range of transformative benefits in a security setting. They include:
Reduction in complaints and false allegations
Deescalation of aggressive situations
Video evidence to support prosecutions
Retrospective training and analysis opportunities
Improved confidence in public interactions
Increased transparency in all situations

Long-term Benefits
Body Cameras ensure that security staff feel safer when working as the camera is a deterrent to situations with the public that may become abusive or threatening. Purchasing body cameras is a one-time investment in the security and safety of your staff, eliminating rental fees and leading to cost-savings over time.
Owning Body Cameras demonstrates long-term commitment, which will make security staff feel safer at work, especially lone-workers. Body Cameras record incidences and capture evidence, they are also used by security staff for training purposes.
With all staff using the same device type, it reduces the need for regular training and ensures seamless operation and familiarity with using the unit itself, the Evidence Management Software and evidence gathering procedures. By not having to rely on rental agreements, you can be rest assured of continuous operation and protection with minimal down-time disruptions.
