CCTV Tower Hire in York
Monitored solar towers covering York plots from Calder Island Way
- On a York plot in 24–48 hours from the Wakefield yard
- Solar + 4G — heritage and greenfield plots with no mains
- Live 24/7 monitoring from Calder Island Way
Heritage compounds inside the walls, York Central and Hungate phases, and retail parks on the A64 all lose copper and plant if the cameras only record. Metropolitan CCTV & Security (MET Security) sends solar 4G towers from Unit 4 Lakeside, Calder Island Way, Wakefield WF2 7AW. A live operator at that control room takes the activation, not a playback the next morning. Towers typically reach York in 24–48 hours and shift as the programme turns.

Where towers go on York jobs
City-centre and heritage plots, York Central, Hungate, Germany Beck housing, the Designer Outlet, Monks Cross and Clifton Moor, plus Fulford, Acomb, Huntington and Heslington along the A64. North Yorkshire jobs run from the same Wakefield fleet.
Construction and civils
Groundworks on a York site rarely have power. Solar + 4G means the tower is live before cabins exist. The same 24/7 station handles speaker challenge and dispatch. Timber-frame phases can add timber frame fire watch.
Compounds and vacant land
Empty yards between phases get the same hire. Add keyholding if someone must attend after hours. Our response teams carry the necessary equipment to make basic temporary repairs, including securing breaches in fencing and replacing damaged locks. Full site checks include photos and an immediate report to the client.

York CCTV tower hire FAQs
How much does CCTV tower hire cost in York?
Hire is priced on duration, how many towers the York plot needs, and extras such as fire detection, K9 or patrols. We quote the site — there is no published weekly rate.
How quickly can a tower be on a York site?
Typically 24–48 hours from the Wakefield yard at Calder Island Way. We then move the unit as the York site develops.
Does a York plot need mains power or Wi-Fi?
No. Solar plus 4G, so it works from day one of groundworks — including tight city-centre and heritage plots.
Are York CCTV towers live-monitored or record-only?
Live-monitored from Calder Island Way, 24/7. An operator can warn over the speaker and send a response, rather than leaving footage for a morning review.
Do you cover the A64, Monks Cross and North Yorkshire?
Yes — city centre, York Central, Hungate, Germany Beck, Monks Cross, Clifton Moor, the Designer Outlet and surrounding North Yorkshire. Call 0113 844 9466 with the postcode.
