How It Works

From Call to Hire, getting your temporary CCTV installated secured is straightforward

1. Independent Risk Assessment

To recommend the best CCTV solution for your hire period, the Clearway team will assess your security risks and identify the threats you need to protect against. Risk evaluations can be performed quickly in an emergency to ensure we know what you are up against.

2. Temporary CCTV Recommendations

We’ll advise on the surveillance most suited to your needs, which can comprise:
Alarm sensors, including fire, smoke, gas, water and glass breakage alerts, vacant property alarm systems, able to detect movement through any points of entry.
Wireless intruder alarms, perfect for awkward positions or difficult to reach access points that pose a risk.
Video verified alarms, allowing you, or our professional response team, to identify the cause of the alarm activation and respond accordingly.

3. CCTV Installation

Clearway installation teams manage every new fitting from start to finish, providing a fast and smooth service. Your hired CCTV is operational in as little as an hour.

4. Ongoing Monitoring and Responsiveness

Our NSI Gold Cat II-accredited Alarm Response Centre (ARC) is on hand 24/7, 365 days a year, and can implement continual monitoring. Should your temporary CCTV flag an issue or alert, we will investigate immediately to verify the cause and deploy the appropriate response, such as liaising with the police, contacting on-site security teams or dispatching mobile patrols.

5. CCTV Changes or Removal

If your requirements change, such as moving onto a new construction phase and needing to reposition your temporary CCTV, we can assist. Our teams can also collect hired CCTV at any point, either when your event or project ends, or at any pre-agreed date.

Problems We Can Solve With Temporary CCTV Hire

Standard CCTV is a great way to protect all manner of sites, but it ceases to be effective in scenarios where you don’t have mains power, need surveillance for a limited time, or want a security system in place for a short period of time. Here are some of the numerous issues temporary CCTV hire addresses.

You’re managing a construction site, an event or a refurbishment and need CCTV surveillance but only for a specific period

You know that you need reliable surveillance coverage for a short timescale, such as during an event, renovation or construction project, or because you’re pending the sale or letting of a currently vacant property.

You have a vacant property or open land that is at risk of intrusions, but doesn’t have any fixed infrastructure

You’re keen to introduce pre-emptive surveillance to protect your site, but you lack the cabling, power, or internet connection that most conventional security solutions require.

You’re in urgent need of proactive protection after a break-in, eviction, or vandalism incident

You’ve already dealt with the stress of a break-in, have evicted a problematic tenant, or have experienced vandalism, and now need a dependable way to ensure nobody without your authorisation can enter your site undetected.

You need robust security but can’t justify the costs of permanent CCTV for a short-term requirement

You’re concerned about the risks of a break-in but can’t allocate the resources required to buy and install fixed CCTV units for a limited period.

You have fences or locks, but know these aren’t enough to stop thieves, fly-tippers and trespassers

There are already high-quality perimeter fences and security locks at your site, but you’re conscious that these are fairly easy to circumvent and would be better reinforced with live CCTV surveillance.

You’re looking for a flexible security solution that can be adapted to each new phase of your project

Your development project is in progress, and you need CCTV that can be repositioned, moved, or increased as the work progresses into the next stage.

If you need more information about our CCTV hire options, or if you’re looking for a site assessment, please do get in contact with us today on 0370 770 6811.

Why Clearway? Trusted By Leading UK Brands

We have decades of expertise supporting clients with a whole host of risks, all of whom have unique security concerns, and want a dependable service from a security specialist they can trust.

Clearway also works with construction site managers, logistics planners and public events organisers to strategise and identify the most effective placement and use of CCTV hire.

Fast Delivery and Installation Following Break-ins

Temporary CCTV hire is often a matter of extreme urgency, and if you have had a break-in or found that fencing and locks have failed to keep your site safe, we’ll react quickly to get your temporary CCTV systems up and running.

Cost-Effective Site-Wide Protection

Hiring CCTV solutions for short-term use is hugely more economical than hiring full-time, around-the-clock guarding teams, and we can set up remote monitoring to ensure there is a viable alternative to our out-of-hours guards.

Continual Deterrent Against Crime and Intrusions

High-profile CCTV and signage are a great way to ensure opportunist intruders do not perceive your site as an easy target, with options to integrate surveillance with alarms and other services to enhance your security.

Comprehensive Safeguards for Events, Construction Sites and Vacant Units

Combining alarms, physical deterrents, fencing, mobile patrols, and CCTV cameras can be the ideal approach. We can suggest and implement additional safeguards based on your risks, integrating systems to ensure every corner of your event or site is being supervised at all times.

Who We Work With

Clearway supports diverse sectors requiring rapid security deployment. Our clients include construction companies, property developers, event organisers, and facility managers who need reliable surveillance solutions. We’re trusted by:

What Do Our Security Experts Say?

Our UK Sales Director, Kelvin Danton, explains why having eyes on your premises is so important.

CCTV hire isn’t only suited to events, but can also be used when remote working is required, during holidays and closure periods, at stages when higher-risk activities are scheduled – for example, movements of high-value goods, deliveries of costly materials, or when perimeter security may be compromised.

Our role is to ensure you know how best to react when potential disturbances are anticipated or during works that may disrupt the continuity of the mains power supply to maintain ongoing security coverage.

UK Sales Director

A Successful Project

The client was starting a new project in Sheffield city centre, near buildings, shops, and several active construction sites. The project was situated around a live building, requiring careful consideration of resident safety and security measures.

Traditional 24/7 CCTV systems were not ideal due to privacy concerns, and the limited space ruled out the use of large self-sustained Solar CCTV towers.

The client approached Clearway to provide a more effective and less labour-intensive solution to the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question about our site security? Read our frequently asked questions.

How Quickly Can You Deploy Temporary CCTV?

We always endeavour to respond as quickly as possible when there is an urgent need for temporary CCTV. We can deploy teams to install devices, often within a day, depending on the type of surveillance you need and your location.

If your requirements are critical, we recommend contacting the Clearway team, as we’ll respond quickly to allocate the necessary equipment and deliver it to your site.

Can I Hire CCTV for Just a Few Weeks?

Yes, some clients need CCTV for as little as a few days during a major event or expected civil disturbance, whereas others require surveillance for several months. Simply let us know how long you estimate your required hire period to be, and advise if this changes at any point.

Do CCTV Systems Work Without Mains Power?

They do. We can advise on CCTV cameras, video-verified alarms, and wireless units that operate with solar-powered and commercial-grade batteries. This negates any need for mains power or wiring, and ensures temporary CCTV hire starts working right away without any complex installations.

Do You Provide Monitoring as Well as Cameras?

Clearway’s alarm monitoring team can oversee all temporary CCTV systems alongside other fixed alarms, panic alarms, and surveillance, with transmissions sent securely to our military-grade centre for evaluation and escalation where necessary.

Is Temporary CCTV Cheaper Than Manned Guarding?

Very much so! It can be challenging to find effective ways to protect sites or premises for a short period. Although physical guarding is a great deterrent, it’s often prohibitively costly, especially for smaller projects or those with already stretched budgets.

Temporary CCTV hire is adjusted to your requirements, including the type of camera and surveillance you need, as well as the duration you anticipate needing them.
