An Effective alternative to full, traditional wired CCTV for sites

Not every site needs permanent CCTV, sometimes you only need cover for a few weeks, while work is taking place, a building is empty, equipment is on site, or a risk has suddenly become a concern.

Safety Eye is built for those short-term situations. It gives you a visible CCTV presence that can be delivered, set up and handed over without fixed cabling, mains power, broadband or a long installation process.

You hire the unit by the week, use it for as long as you need it, then it is collected when the risk has passed.

When short-term CCTV makes sense

Safety Eye gives you a visible unit that can be delivered, set up and used without a permanent CCTV install, fixed broadband or a long contract.

Many enquiries come after an incident, such as antisocial behaviour, trespass, safety concerns or worries about high-value equipment on site. Safety Eye is designed for those moments when you need something practical in place quickly.

The unit has a strong, secure appearance. It does not look like a lightweight camera on a pole. It is designed to look solid, noticeable and difficult to interfere with, which helps deter people before an incident goes further.

Safety Eye is a customer-monitored hire solution. You can view the cameras remotely from your phone or from the tablet provided with the hire. The tablet is set up to show the camera views, so the person responsible for the site can check what is happening without a complicated system.

Security guards can also be useful, especially where a physical presence is needed, but they can be expensive for round-the-clock cover and may be more than the situation requires.
