CCTV System Installation, Monitoring and Hire Across the UK

Cameras are only useful if somebody is watching them. We handle the CCTV system installation, then watch it from our own control room and maintain it afterwards. Buy the system outright, or hire it and pay one weekly cost with nothing to own. Businesses, construction sites and vacant properties across the UK, run from our Leeds headquarters

Common CCTV failures

When CCTV Systems Stop Working, Security is at Risk

Common CCTV camera service issues leave sites exposed. Here are the problems businesses  face most often:

Wired CCTV System Failures

A failing wired CCTV system can take down multiple cameras at once, leaving entire areas completely unmonitored. Regular CCTV maintenance catches this before it takes out a whole zone

Recording Interruptions

No footage means no evidence. Recording failures are one of the most common reasons businesses move to a monitored system

Poor visibility

Degraded image quality reduces the value of any footage you do capture, and usually signals a deeper system problem.

Maintenance Neglect

Without regular CCTV camera servicing, small faults escalate into full system failures. On a hire agreement, that is our problem rather than yours.

Instead of repeated repairs, businesses are moving to fully managed CCTV services that remove the burden entirely.

CCTV System Installation

What Monitored CCTV Actually Means

Most systems sold as monitored send an alert to your phone. That is a notification, not a response. At two in the morning it is a notification you will probably sleep through.

Monitored CCTV means the alert goes to a control room where an operator looks at the footage and decides whether it matters. If it does, they act: challenging the person over the on-site speakers, calling your keyholder, or escalating to police with a verified incident rather than an unconfirmed alarm.

That verification step is the whole product. Without it you have a recording system that tells you about a break-in the following morning.

6.2

The Four-Step Response

Detection, verification, challenge and escalation.

01

Detection

The system flags activity in a monitored zone and sends live footage to the control room.

02

Verification

An operator looks at it and decides whether the activity is genuine or a fox, a branch or a passing vehicle.

03

Challenge

Genuine activity gets an audio challenge over the on-site speakers. Most intruders leave at this point.

04

Escalation

If they stay, we call your keyholder or escalate to police with a verified incident, which gets a faster response than an unconfirmed alarm.

Managed CCTV Solution

A Fully Managed CCTV Monitoring Service

Platinum Asset Protection handles the CCTV system installation, the ongoing CCTV monitoring services, the maintenance and the fault resolution. On a hire agreement you do not own the equipment, so if a camera or a recorder fails, replacing it is our responsibility rather than yours. Damage caused on site is treated differently, and that is set out in the agreement before you sign.

What's Included:

1. Survey, system design and installation by our own engineers

2. 24/7 monitoring from our in-house control room, included as standard

3. Scheduled CCTV maintenance and commissioning included

4. Equipment failures put right by our engineers as part of the agreement

5. Recovery of all equipment at the end of the agreement

Our CCTV services are designed for businesses that require consistent, worry-free surveillance without managing the equipment themselves.

Where We Deploy

Where We Deploy Monitored CCTV

Our CCTV systems in Leeds are designed to protect a wide range of site types. Whether temporary or permanent, we deploy the right solution based on risk level, location, and security requirements.

Construction Sites

Construction Site Security

Solar-powered mobile CCTV tower deployed in a residential area for temporary outdoor security monitoring.

Building site CCTV security at access points, compounds and material stores, monitored around the clock and repositioned as the build progresses. Construction site CCTV hire means no capital cost and nothing left behind at handover. Remote monitoring and instant alarm response help deter intruders, reduce theft, and keep your site protected 24/7.

Void properties

Void Property Alarms

Fixed wired CCTV security camera installed on a building exterior for continuous property surveillance.

Vacant properties are highly vulnerable to trespassing and damage. Our integrated CCTV and alarm systems provide instant alerts and continuous protection, making our CCTV monitoring service alerts are verified before anyone is sent to an empty building, which avoids the wasted callouts void property cover usually generates

Commercial buildings

Commercial Buildings

Modern commercial building protected with professional security and surveillance systems for offices and business premises.

Offices, warehouses, and retail spaces require consistent surveillance coverage. Our managed systems ensure full protection of entry points, parking areas, and internal zones through remote monitoring support to commercial CCTV installation with 24/7 monitoring.

Temporary locations

Temporary Locations

Aerial view of a temporary industrial or construction site monitored with security measures and heavy equipment.

 Temporary CCTV hire need flexible security without permanent infrastructure. Our rapid-deploy CCTV hire  solutions are installed quickly, monitored in real time, and removed once the project is complete ensuring complete security throughout the project lifecycle.

Hire Options

Temporary CCTV Hire and Long-Term Agreements

Site CCTV hire gives you fully managed coverage without buying anything. A few weeks or several years, single site or multiple sites, the structure is the same: we install it, we watch it, we maintain it, and we take it away when you are done.

Scalable deployments

Temporary CCTV hire for projects, events and seasonal risk. Units are deployed, monitored and recovered inside your timeline

Long-term hire

For permanent and semi-permanent sites. Includes installation, scheduled maintenance and 24/7 monitoring throughout the agreement

Short-term hire

Single or multiple sites under one agreement. Expand or reduce coverage as the risk changes, without renegotiating

View System Specifications

Camera Types:

Every CCTV system installation is specified from the survey rather than from a standard package. These are the camera types we deploy most often.

Standard Coverage Cameras

Provides reliable monitoring up to 50m with infrared night vision and high-quality recorded footage.

Thermal Detection Cameras

Uses heat-sensing technology to identify people and vehicles at distances of up to 200m.

Timelapse Recording Cameras

Extended Range Cameras

PTZ Cameras

Features 360° rotation, tilt control, and optical zoom for complete area surveillance and flexible monitoring.

Air Horn Alarm

Produces a high-volume 135dB alert sound to warn personnel and discourage unauthorised access.

Master Blaster Alarm

Delivers a powerful air horn warning system designed to actively deter intruders and raise immediate alerts.

Public Address (PA) Speakers
