Construction Site CCTV Monitoring
Construction sites across London are prime targets for theft of tools, plant and materials, often during the quiet hours when nobody is on site. Securex Security supplies temporary, rapidly deployed monitored CCTV and tower cameras that watch over your site and scaffolding around the clock. Backed by our CCTV monitoring service and a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre, every alert is checked by a trained operator so genuine intruders are challenged and dealt with, not just recorded.
Live visual verification
Every activation is reviewed in real time by trained operators in our Alarm Receiving Centre, so a real intruder is confirmed before any response is escalated.
Audio challenge to deter intruders
Operators issue a live voice warning over the on-site speakers, telling trespassers they are being watched and recorded, which moves most of them on before anything is taken.
Priority police response
With a Unique Reference Number (URN) registered to your site, verified incidents qualify for a priority police response rather than a routine call queue.
Rapid keyholder dispatch
When attendance is needed, we coordinate keyholder and patrol dispatch to your site so the situation is handled quickly without your team being called out at 3am.
Temporary CCTV built for London construction sites
London sites change shape week by week, so your security has to keep pace. Our temporary towers and wireless cameras are positioned to cover compounds, material stores, plant parks and the scaffold line, then repositioned as the build progresses. Solar and battery options mean cameras work before mains power is connected, which is ideal for groundworks and early phases. Whether you are running a residential infill in Hackney, a commercial fit-out in the City or a phased development across several Greater London boroughs, the system scales up and moves with you rather than tying you to fixed infrastructure.
Rapid deployment and flexible hire
When a site is exposed, you cannot wait weeks for cabling and groundworks. Securex can survey and install rapidly deployed CCTV towers and wireless cameras, often getting a site monitored within a short turnaround. Because the kit is wireless and self-powered, there is no trenching, no waiting on the electrician and minimal disruption to the programme. We offer short and long term hire to match your build schedule, so you only pay for protection while the risk is live. As the project hands over, cameras are simply demobilised and recovered.
24/7 monitoring that stops theft before it happens
Recorded footage alone rarely recovers stolen tools or plant. The value of our service is the live response. Detections from the towers are sent straight to our 24/7 Remote Video Response Centre, where operators verify what is happening and challenge intruders through on-site audio. If the threat continues, they escalate to police using your URN and arrange keyholder attendance. This proactive approach deters opportunists and organised theft alike, protecting expensive plant, copper, fuel and materials and keeping your London programme on track and on budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you install CCTV on my London construction site?
After a short site survey we can usually mobilise rapidly deployed towers and wireless cameras within a few working days, and often sooner for urgent jobs. Because the systems are wireless and solar or battery powered, there is no cabling or groundworks to wait for.
Do the cameras work without mains power or internet on site?
Yes. Our towers run on solar and battery power and connect over mobile networks, so they protect your site from day one before the mains supply and broadband are installed. This makes them well suited to early groundworks and remote compounds.
What happens when the CCTV detects an intruder at night?
The activation goes to our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre, where a trained operator verifies it on live video. They issue an audio challenge over the on-site speakers, and if needed escalate to police via your Unique Reference Number and dispatch a keyholder.
Can the system move as the site progresses or scale across multiple sites?
Yes. Towers and wireless cameras are designed to be repositioned as the build changes and the high-risk areas shift. We can also cover several London sites under one agreement and adjust the number of units up or down to match each phase.
