A fully monitored, wired construction site CCTV system is the most cost-effective way to protect a site that has mains power available. Multiple cameras connect back to a central recording unit, covering every entry point and vulnerable area — all monitored 24/7 to BS5979:2007, with tannoys included as standard.

Our wired construction site CCTV hire systems are designed for sites with mains power available — typically medium to large builds with an accommodation unit or site cabin on site. Each camera is cabled back to a central NVR (Network Video Recorder) which records continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every camera has a built-in tannoy speaker, and all footage is monitored overnight by our team operating to BS5979:2007.
The more cameras you have, the better the coverage — and the lower the cost per camera. A single camera starts at just £80 per week, fully inclusive of monitoring. Every additional camera is just £30 per week on top. We aim to fit every budget and our prices are always open to discussion — just call Glen direct.
Our pricing is straightforward. £80 per week for your first camera, then just £30 per week for every additional camera. All prices are fully inclusive — monitoring, tannoys, broadband where required, installation and collection. No hidden costs, no minimum term. The table below gives you a clear idea of what to expect, but every site is different and we're always happy to talk through your specific requirements.
| Number of Cameras | Weekly Cost (Inc. Monitoring) |
|---|---|
| 1 Camera | £80 / week |
| 2 Cameras | £110 / week |
| 3 Cameras | £140 / week |
| 4 Cameras | £170 / week |

Every construction site CCTV hire package from Building Site CCTV comes fully equipped. There is nothing to add and nothing to pay on top of your weekly rate.
High-definition cameras wired back to a central NVR unit that records continuously. Footage is stored locally and accessible remotely via our secure app.
Our monitoring team watches your site every night. The moment something triggers an alert, a real operator reviews the footage and responds immediately.
Every camera includes a loud tannoy speaker. When an intruder is spotted, our team broadcasts a live voice warning across the site — loud enough to be heard from one end to the other. Most intruders leave immediately.
Watch your site from anywhere in the world via our secure mobile app. Check in at any time, review recorded footage or simply keep an eye on progress during the day.
We install everything — you don't lift a finger. When your project is complete, we collect the equipment. No installation charge, no collection charge.
For your complete peace of mind, we hold full efficacy insurance against undetected break-ins. If the worst happens and our monitoring team misses something, you're covered.
No mains power? No problem. If your site doesn't have power available yet, our standard wired system can be augmented with dedicated solar panels — typically two panels per camera bundle, mounted on a metal frame fabrication alongside the cameras. This gives you reliable year-round power without the need for mains connection.
This solar-augmented wired system sits between a standard static camera and a fully self-contained mobile CCTV tower — and is priced accordingly. We have mobile CCTV towers for hire from £160 per week — fully towable, solar powered and self-contained with a built-in battery system guaranteeing power all year round. We also have mobile CCTV towers for sale — both new and used units. The solar-augmented wired option gives you similar coverage at a lower cost per camera, running back to your site cabin or portacabin as the central point.
Call Glen to discuss which option suits your site best — 0203 468 7323.
Give Glen a call on 0203 468 7323 or fill in our quick quote form. Tell us roughly how many entry points your site has and whether you have mains power available — that's usually enough to get started.
Glen will visit your site — often the same day — and walk the perimeter with you to identify the best camera positions for full coverage. No obligation, no charge. If you can't do an in-person visit, a WhatsApp video call works just as well for most sites.
Our team installs all cameras, runs the cable back to the central recorder and sets up your app access. We handle everything — you just need to be on site to let us in. Most installations are complete within a few hours.
From the moment installation is complete, your site is being recorded around the clock. Out-of-hours monitoring begins the same night. You'll receive your app login details so you can check in from anywhere at any time.
When your project is complete, just give us a call and we'll arrange collection at a time that suits you. No fuss, no extra charges.
Every construction site is different. Here are a few practical points worth thinking about before we carry out the site survey — our team will go through all of these with you when we visit.
Our standard wired system requires a mains power source — typically the site cabin or accommodation unit. If power isn't yet available on your site, we can look at solar augmentation or a fully self-contained mobile CCTV tower instead.
Cameras need to be cabled back to the central recorder. On larger sites, longer cable runs may be required. We'll assess this during the site survey and factor it into the install — it won't cost you extra.
The central NVR recorder is typically housed in your site cabin or portacabin. If you don't have one yet, this is worth arranging early — it also acts as the broadband point for remote monitoring access.
The more entry points your site has, the more cameras you'll need for full coverage. A typical terraced development might need 2–3 cameras. A larger open site could need 4–6. We'll recommend the right number on the survey.
In most cases we can carry out a site survey the same day you call and have cameras operational within 24–48 hours of your order. For urgent situations, call Glen directly on 0203 468 7323 and we'll do everything we can to get you covered fast.
No. We have no minimum contract term. You can hire our construction site CCTV system for as long or as short a period as your project requires — whether that's one week or two years.
Yes — for many sites a WhatsApp video call is all we need. Walk us around the perimeter on your phone and we can advise on camera positions, cable runs and the right number of cameras without needing to visit in person first.
Mobile CCTV towers are self-contained, towable units with a built-in solar panel — ideal for sites with no power and no cable infrastructure. They start from £180 per week. Our wired system is better suited to sites with mains power available, gives you more cameras for less money, and is the preferred solution for longer-term or larger builds.
