Construction site CCTV towers

At VIS Systems, we are proud to present our latest range of vandal resistant CCTV towers for construction that will provide a cost-effective, and sustainable site security camera solution without compromising safety and protection.

What is a CCTV Tower?

A CCTV tower is a freestanding, self-contained surveillance unit used for security monitoring on construction sites, infrastructure projects, and temporary locations. 

At VIS Systems, our construction site CCTV towers are designed to be vandal-resistant and modular, making them a cost-effective and flexible solution for protecting sites of any size or complexity.

These towers are rapidly deployable and can be installed and operational in just a few hours, offering immediate site protection from the moment they’re activated.

We offer both mains-powered and solar-charged CCTV towers, providing options for sites with limited or no access to power. Our towers can also be upgraded to include long-range thermal detection, 360° PTZ cameras, 4K time lapse, and environmental monitoring equipment. 

This creates a smart, adaptable site security system that evolves with your needs and supports both safety and sustainability on active construction sites.

How Does a CCTV Tower Work?

Once deployed, a construction site CCTV tower works by capturing live footage of your site through high-definition cameras. 

These cameras offer full visibility across the site, and are supported by advanced video analytics and motion detection. The footage is transmitted in real time to our dedicated remote monitored in-house control room, where trained operators actively monitor the feed 24/7.

Our towers utilise the award-winning Immix video alarm receiving platform, which allows our control room team to detect and respond to incidents within seconds. 

With features such as virtual tripwires and human/vehicle detection, the system reduces false alarms caused by weather, wildlife or moving materials. Whether you’re using one tower or several across a multi-site development, our CCTV tower for construction site security provides an intelligent, proactive monitoring solution.

What Happens When a CCTV Tower Detects Suspicious Activity?

When a CCTV tower detects unauthorised movement or suspicious activity on your construction site, it sends an instant alert to our 24/7 monitoring centre.

A trained operator immediately assesses the situation through a live video feed and can issue a live audio challenge to deter intruders in real time. If the threat remains, we escalate the response, dispatching a rapid security guard to the site as required.

Thanks to advanced virtual detection built into our towers, the system can distinguish between genuine threats, such as a human trespasser, and harmless activity like blowing debris or animals, significantly cutting down on false alarms. 

This reactive and intelligent process ensures your site is continuously protected, even when unoccupied, and provides peace of mind to contractors and developers relying on secure assets, tools and equipment during construction phases.

‍

Are CCTV Towers Mobile or Fixed?

At VIS Systems, our construction site CCTV towers are fully mobile and designed for rapid deployment, relocation, and scalability. 

Unlike fixed camera systems, which require permanent installation and power infrastructure, our towers are built for temporary use on active or evolving construction sites. 

They can be quickly set up and repositioned as your project progresses, making them ideal for early-stage groundwork where no buildings obstruct.

We offer both powered and solar powered CCTV tower models, ensuring flexibility for remote or off-grid sites. 

The mobility of these towers makes them a preferred choice over traditional manned guards, offering a smarter, more cost-effective, and greener approach to site security. 

Our Mini Solar Tower 365, for example, is a compact yet powerful mobile CCTV solution that can be deployed quickly for instant protection, regardless of location or terrain.
