Construction site CCTV cameras.
Fully monitored, solar-powered CCTV for construction sites, house builds, demolition plots and vacant compounds. Four cameras on a mast, live in 48 hours, no cabling — across Hampshire and the South of England. Call 02394 331 999.
Construction site CCTV that actually covers the plot.
A single dome on the welfare cabin does not watch the plant park. Sentryva construction site CCTV cameras sit on a rapid-deployment tower: height over stacked materials, 360° from four HD cameras, AI that flags people and vehicles, and 4G so you can view the site when you are not there.
Mobile CCTV towers built for building sites.
Temporary, monitored cameras that can go on a plot before the building has power — delivered as a managed hire for Hampshire and the South Coast, with no minimum weeks on the invoice.
- 4 × HD cameras for 360° cover of gates, plant and the compound
- Solar / battery power — no generator left running overnight
- 4G connectivity and remote live view, no site broadband
- AI human and vehicle detection, intrusion zones and tripwires
- Optional 24/7 ARC-style monitoring and audio challenge
- Recorded footage for police and insurers after an incident

Vigil 700 — the construction site CCTV camera setup most builds use.
Most construction deployments take the Vigil 700: a 2.9m mast to see over cabins, a four-camera head for more than one access point, and solar or mains-backed power. Larger sites or long programmes often need the higher-capacity Vigil 1000. Compact compounds and vacant plots on the same programme can sit on a Vigil 600. Tell us the site and we will specify, not guess.
Not every construction CCTV camera is a tower.
Fixed, cabled cameras are fine once the building has power and a network. Until then, a solar CCTV tower is the camera system that can actually go live in week one. If you are still comparing options, use the guide to choosing CCTV cameras for a construction site, or the tower vs manned guarding comparison.
Construction site CCTV FAQs.
What CCTV cameras are best for a construction site?
On a live build the useful setup is a rapid-deployment tower with multiple HD cameras, a mast high enough to see over cabins and materials, solar or battery power, 4G connectivity, and AI that can tell people and vehicles from weather. Sentryva’s Vigil 700 is the usual fit; larger or longer programmes often take the Vigil 1000.
Do construction sites need CCTV cameras?
If the site holds plant, tools, fuel or an unfinished building overnight, yes. Insurers and principal contractors increasingly treat recorded CCTV as a condition, not a nice extra. A visible tower also deters opportunistic theft after the last van leaves.
Are construction site CCTV cameras solar powered?
Sentryva towers run on solar and battery as standard, with mains-backed power where a site already has it. There is no need to leave a generator running overnight, and no cabling or groundworks to get cameras live.
How quickly can construction site CCTV be deployed?
Typical time from a written quote to a live tower is 48 hours across Hampshire and the South of England. The unit arrives, is sited, and starts recording the same visit.
Can construction site CCTV cameras be monitored 24/7?
Yes. Self-managed alerts are included; professional 24/7 monitoring with event verification and an audio challenge is optional. See monitoring if you want a person watching the feed out of hours.
Can the cameras move as the build progresses?
Yes. Relocating the tower as compounds and access points change is part of the hire — tell us the new position and we handle the move. There is no minimum hire period.
Can footage be used as evidence after a theft?
Yes. Recorded footage, and plate data where ANPR is fitted, can be shared with police or your insurer. A siren-only detector without cameras will not give you that evidence.
