Vacant property

CCTV tower hire for vacant & empty property.

An empty building is an easy target for squatting, metal theft and vandalism, but rarely justifies permanent security infrastructure. A rapid deployment tower gives visible, recorded coverage without committing to a fixed install.

Why vacant sites get targeted

No occupier, no obvious deterrent.

Empty premises attract attention precisely because there's nobody around to notice. A visible tower with recording and remote access restores that presence without you having to install anything permanent in a building you may be selling, developing or holding short-term.

Suggested platform

REX 600 — compact, low-footprint, fast to place and remove.

Most vacant property deployments suit the REX 600: a flat-pack platform that's easy to position and just as easy to take away when the situation changes, on battery or solar power with wireless motion detection built in. Larger or higher-risk sites sometimes call for the taller REX 700 instead — tell us about the property and we'll recommend the right one.

Common questions

Vacant property CCTV FAQs.

Can it be installed without altering the building?

Yes. The tower is a free-standing unit — nothing is fixed to the building, and there is no cabling or groundworks, which matters for a property you may not hold long-term.

How quickly can it be on site?

Typically within 48 hours of enquiry, including the site survey.

What happens if we need it moved to a different property?

Relocation between sites is part of the managed service — tell us the new address and we handle collection and redeployment.
