CCTV MONITORING IN LONDON, THE ESSENTIALS
CCTV monitoring is the live watching of your camera feeds by trained, SIA-licensed operators who spot incidents as they happen, record what they see, and escalate to you, your on-site team or the emergency services. We monitor your existing cameras — we don’t sell you new ones.
Quick facts: SIA-licensed CCTV operators · SIA Approved Contractor (includes CCTV) · 24/7 cover with emergency attendance within 60 minutes · from £19 per hour per officer · every London borough covered.
WHAT IS CCTV MONITORING?
CCTV monitoring is the service of having trained operators watch your camera feeds live, rather than leaving the system to record on its own. An operator sees what’s happening as it happens — an intruder at a perimeter, a door propped open, a vehicle circling a site at 3am — and acts on it immediately.
That action is the whole point. Depending on what’s agreed, the operator alerts your on-site team, calls a keyholder, escalates to the emergency services, or dispatches an officer to attend. Every incident is logged, so you have a clear written record alongside the footage.
It’s different from recording, and different from installation. Recording gives you evidence after the fact. Installation puts the cameras up. Monitoring is the part that turns a passive system into something that can actually interrupt an incident while it’s still happening — and it’s the part most sites are missing.
WHAT OUR CCTV MONITORING COVERS
We monitor the cameras you already have. Some clients need overnight cover on an empty site; others want an operator watching a live control room through the working day. We survey the premises first, then build the monitoring around your cameras, your hours and your risk — not around a package.
Incident Escalation & Response
Clear, agreed escalation: alert your on-site team, call a keyholder, contact the emergency services, or dispatch an officer to attend, anywhere in London.
Live Camera Monitoring
SIA-licensed operators watching your feeds in real time, spotting intrusions, unauthorised access and unusual activity while there’s still time to act on it.
Out-of-Hours & Overnight Cover
Cover for the hours your site is empty and most exposed — nights, weekends and shutdowns — when nobody is on site to notice anything.
Incident Logging & Evidence
Every incident recorded in writing with times and detail, so you have a usable account for insurers, investigations or your own records — not just hours of unwatched footage.

BEHIND THE SCREENS: WHAT OUR OPERATORS DO
Monitoring isn’t sitting and staring. Here’s what an SIA-licensed operator is actually doing across a shift on your cameras:
FROM SITE SURVEY TO LIVE MONITORING
Getting monitoring in place is straightforward, and it starts with understanding the site rather than the cameras:
WHERE CCTV SYSTEMS USUALLY FAIL
Most sites already have cameras. These are the reasons those cameras don’t prevent much — and what monitoring is there to catch:
SITES WE MONITOR
CCTV monitoring suits any site where cameras are already in place but nobody is watching them when it counts:
AREAS WE COVER
We provide CCTV monitoring across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London — including Westminster, Camden, Islington, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth, Hackney, Newham, Wandsworth, Greenwich, Barking & Dagenham and Croydon. Wherever your cameras are in the capital, we can watch them and attend within 60 minutes.
WHY SITES PUT THEIR CAMERAS IN OUR HANDS
We’ve protected London sites since 2004, and our SIA Approved Contractor status covers CCTV as well as security guarding, door supervision and key holding — audited annually, not self-declared. Our operators are licensed specifically for public space surveillance, and the same company that watches your cameras can also put an officer on site when something happens.
Approved for CCTV, Not Just Guarding
Our SIA Approved Contractor status covers CCTV alongside guarding, door supervision and key holding — independently audited every year.
Licensed to Watch, Vetted to Work
Every operator holds a valid SIA Public Space Surveillance (CCTV) licence and is screened to BS 7858 before they’re trusted with your feeds.
Watching and Attending, From One Company
When an operator sees something, we can dispatch our own officer — anywhere in London within 60 minutes. No second supplier, no handover delay.
A Rate You Can Plan Around
Our monitoring starts from £19 per hour per officer, quoted plainly after a site survey — no hidden call-out charges buried in the small print.
