If you run a construction site in Leeds, Wakefield or anywhere in West Yorkshire, CCTV tower hire is usually the fastest way to get real security on the ground. No trench, no mains, no waiting for a permanent install. A solar-powered tower drops onto the compound and starts watching the same day.
This is the practical hire guide for sites across Leeds and West Yorkshire: what a monitored tower actually does, when hire beats a fixed system, and how Trinity Secure deploys from our base in Wakefield.
What CCTV tower hire actually includes
A rapid-deploy tower is a self-contained unit: cameras, solar, battery, 4G, and a mast high enough to see the compound. Hire should mean more than a box that records to an SD card you check after something has already been stolen.
With Trinity Secure, hire includes:
- Solar-powered detection tower or mobile CCTV POD, live within the hour of arriving on site
- 24/7 live monitoring, with every activation verified by an operator looking at the footage
- A response in minutes: officer dispatched, keyholders contacted, police called where needed
- Repositioning as the build moves, so coverage follows plant, materials and cabins
- Hire terms that match the length of the project, not a 12-month lock-in
If a quote is “recording only”, you are paying for evidence after the event. That is not the same product.
CCTV tower hire in Leeds
Leeds is one of the busiest development cities in the North: city-centre residential, student blocks, and distribution along the M1/M62. Plant theft, metal theft and weekend trespass are the usual pattern. A tower on a Holbeck, Hunslet or Aire Valley compound needs to be live before the first skip arrives, not after the first loss.
We cover Leeds city centre, Holbeck, Hunslet, Morley, Pudsey, Garforth, Rothwell, Horsforth and the surrounding towns. Full local detail is on our Leeds site security page.
Wakefield, Bradford and the rest of West Yorkshire
Trinity Secure is based in Wakefield, so West Yorkshire is home ground. Towers go out to Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax, Dewsbury, Batley and along the Calder Valley on the same working pattern as Leeds: surveyed, sited, live the same week, often the same day.
For a site in our home city, start with construction site CCTV in Wakefield. Yorkshire-wide cover is on security in Yorkshire.
Monitored hire vs recording-only
Recording-only towers are cheaper on paper. They do not stop a theft in progress. An operator who sees the activation, confirms it is real, and puts a response on the road is the difference between a deterrent and a camera that politely films the van leaving.
Trinity Secure does not hire out unwatched cameras. Every tower is monitored. False alarms are filtered. Genuine threats get a person, not a notification at 7am.
How fast we can deploy
From our Wakefield base we survey, place and commission towers across Leeds and West Yorkshire in hours, not weeks. No mains power. No phone line. Solar and 4G cover the period before the site has services. As phases complete, we move the kit with the works.
Need more than cameras? The same hire can sit alongside K9 units, SIA manned guarding and fire detection towers for timber-frame builds. One supplier, one number.
What it costs
Weekly rates depend on how many units you need, how long the hire runs, and whether you want towers, PODs, fire detection or a mix. A rolling weekend of cover is priced differently to a 12-month programme. We would rather quote the site in front of us than publish a number that does not match it.

FAQs
Do I need mains power on site?
No. The towers and PODs are solar-powered with battery backup. They are built for sites that do not have services yet.
How quickly can a tower be on a Leeds site?
In straightforward cases we deploy the same day or the next. West Yorkshire is our home patch from Wakefield.
Is the footage watched live?
Yes. Activations are verified by our monitoring team as they happen. A response officer is dispatched when the threat is real.
Can I hire for a few weeks only?
Yes. Terms follow the project. One tower for a short phase, or a fleet for the full programme.
