Temporary and Portable Security Solution
Our range of mobile CCTV Towers provides flexible, temporary security for sites where permanent surveillance isn’t practical or cost-effective. With solar, hybrid and mains power options, every tower is equipped with high-definition PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, 4G/5G connectivity, remote monitoring and intelligent detection as part of our fully-managed service.
Our Temporary CCTV Towers help:
Targeted, cost-effective protection where it's needed most
Whether you need to reduce theft and vandalism, improve safety management, prevent unauthorised access or deploy security at short notice, a temporary CCTV tower provides a fast, cost-effective security solution with long-lasting peace of mind.
Our Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers can be installed within 20-minutes (basic setups) and deployed across a wide range of sectors, including building sites, vacant properties and highways in remote locations without the need for existing site infrastructure.
With our towers, you can deter intruders, track vehicle movements and enable rapid response when unusual behaviour is detected, all managed through a cloud-based monitoring platform which can be accessed remotely via any mobile device.
Compared to other monitoring methods such as manned guards or static CCTV cameras, our near-6-metre mobile CCTV Towers provide 24/7 surveillance, AI-powered detection and continuous monitoring at up to 88% less than manned security. They also support businesses in meeting relevant UK legal standards and compliance requirements.
Built for Projects That Need Security Quickly
Designed for quick installation, without lengthy installation or complex site infrastructure. Easily reposition and relocate our CCTV towers as site layouts change and/or risk exposure evolves.
Our near-6-metre tall CCTV Towers create a strong visual deterrent against criminal activity, preventing theft, vandalism, and other unlawful behaviour.
High-definition PTZ cameras provide a complete site overview and eliminate blind spots with near-360° coverage, both day and night.
Intelligent AI-video analytics identify suspicious activity and potential threats as they unfold. Smart technology helps filter false alarms caused by weather, wildlife or debris.
Choose from solar, hybrid or mains power connectivity. Some solar-powered units can provide up to 20 weeks of uninterrupted runtime between refills.
Benefit from professional real-time monitoring through NSI Gold Accredited Centres where trained operators review live footage and initiate near-instant responses to verified threats.
Enhance your site coverage with add-on Smart Detection Systems for PPE Monitoring, Intrusion Detection, Smoke/Fire Detection, Environmental Monitoring (noise, air, weather), and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR).
Manage site activity from a single, cloud-based dashboard. Smart software consolidates data in one place, allowing you to generate reports on demand.

Real Results from a Real Site
Willmott Dixon was appointed to construct a new 18-cell police custody suite for Dyfed-Powys Police in Llanelli, South Wales.
At the start of the project, the site had no mains power due to its location. WCCTV supplied a Solar Tower for immediate security coverage to protect against potential intrusions and theft of fuel and machinery. Willmott Dixon later transitioned to a mains-powered Tower with additional CCTV cameras and Time Lapse Video.
Here's how our Temporary CCTV Towers helped to secure the site:
This deployment shows how one CCTV Tower can solve multiple challenges from a single setup.

How quickly can a CCTV Tower be installed?
Our basic CCTV Towers can be installed and operational in 20 minutes, depending on the complexities of your site or location. Every system we install is walk-tested to ensure accurate detection zones are configured.
Can I hire a CCTV tower for short-term use?
All of our Towers are available to hire for as long as you need them. Hire includes installation, maintenance and removal as part of our fully-managed service.
How are CCTV Towers monitored?
CCTV Towers use advanced AI-video analytics to monitor sites in real-time. When suspicious behaviour is detected, they send instant alerts to a live monitoring station where trained operators review live footage and respond to verified triggers. From there, they can issue live voice-down challenges, dispatch mobile keyholding teams and escalate incidents to the police when required.
What power options are available for CCTV Towers in the UK?
WCCTV offers mains, solar and hybrid-powered CCTV Towers to suit different site environments, including those in remote locations with no access to fixed power.
Can CCTV towers be relocated during a project?
Depending on which CCTV Tower you are using from WCCTV, you may either relocate the Towers yourself or have us do it for you. This flexibility allows you to adapt to changing site requirements quickly and easily.
Do CCTV Towers work without internet or WiFi?
All of our CCTV Towers include built-in 4G/5G connectivity, eliminating the need for a fixed internet connection or WiFi.
Do CCTV Towers record all the time?
Our CCTV Towers continuously record site activity 24/7, in both daylight and low-light conditions, and are designed to operate in inclement weather. This not only allows site managers to access live footage, but also supports non-security requirements, including health and safety reviews, incident investigations and compliance auditing.
