Compact. Reactive. Ready to Deploy.
The WCCTV Hornet is a compact Perimeter Intrusion Detection (PID) system designed to secure sites where space, access or infrastructure is limited.
It delivers full 360° coverage using four integrated cameras, combined with passive infrared (PIR) detection, powerful audio deterrents and high-intensity visual alarms.
When motion is detected, the Hornet records a short video clip, stores the footage locally or in the cloud, and triggers visible and audible alerts to deter intruders immediately.
Fully autonomous, it operates without mains power or internet access - making it ideal for temporary works, internal projects, restricted compounds or hard-to-reach areas.
With rapid deployment, anti-tamper protection and full remote access, the Hornet offers a smart, low-footprint alternative to fixed or manned security systems.
We Don’t Just Record Crime. We Stop It.
Watch how our live-monitored security systems detect and deter threats in real time. When intruders approach, built-in audio and visual warnings issue an immediate challenge, forcing most to leave before damage occurs. If they persist, we coordinate directly with police and keyholders to ensure a rapid response.
Our theft prevention gallery shows many more examples of how live monitored CCTV cameras prevent crime and increase site security, take a look:
Detection Is Just the Start
The Hornet doesn’t just detect perimeter breaches - it ensures there’s a real response. When its onboard PIR sensors are triggered, the system captures a short video clip and immediately transmits an alert to WCCTV’s NSI Gold Accredited monitoring partners.
From there, trained operatives:
Review the video footage in real time
Issue a live audio challenge to deter the intruder
Escalate to keyholders or emergency services if needed
The Hornet’s mobile connectivity means there’s no need for site internet, and its cloud-based platform ensures evidential footage is securely stored and accessible. Anti-tamper alarms and heartbeat diagnostics provide extra reassurance that your system is online, armed and ready.
Combined with WCCTV’s nationwide keyholding network, the Hornet delivers complete intrusion detection and response without needing any on-site resources.
Deployed in Minutes. Active for Months.
The Hornet can be installed by a single person in minutes. No civil works, no mains power, no internet - just instant protection wherever it's needed
Any motion detected at your site will trigger flashing LEDs, live audio challenges and video clip capture - stopping intruders before damage occurs.
Four fixed-position wide-angle cameras provide total visibility around the unit, day or night, with 15m IR illumination.
Battery-powered with solar support, the Hornet can operate for up to two years without mains power and is easy to reposition as your site evolves.
All video and alerts are transmitted via 4G/5G, allowing secure remote access through WCCTV’s mobile app or desktop software.
The system self-monitors for tamper, shock, masking and battery status, ensuring uptime and triggering alerts if disrupted.
Clips are stored locally on encrypted SD cards with optional cloud upload for evidential retrieval and audit trails. All incident footage can also be managed by our NSI Gold accredited monitoring team, who can handle all incidents.
From deployment and configuration to monitoring and maintenance, the Hornet is part of WCCTV’s end-to-end service - keeping your focus on the project, not the protection.
Built for the Gaps Towers Can’t Reach
The Hornet is ideal for construction sites with limited space, remote compounds, internal works, or anywhere a full-sized tower isn’t practical. It is built for flexibility, with no reliance on fixed infrastructure and a rapid deployment process.
Typical applications include:
Construction and fit-out sites with tight perimeters
Temporary works and short-term security gaps
Restricted-access zones and building interiors
Utility compounds and isolated infrastructure
Vacant property and site entry points
Public-facing projects with high exposure
Urban environments where towers can’t be delivered
Supplementing coverage in blind spots on larger sites
Wherever fast, compact, proactive protection is needed, the Hornet provides the ideal solution.
