Compact. Reactive. Ready to Deploy.

The WCCTV Hornet PID System

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.

Proactive Security System Designed for Temporary Sites

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.

Detection Is Just the Start

How the WCCTV Hornet Is Monitored

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.

  • 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.
