Clearway works with councils, schools, healthcare providers and social housing teams to deliver public sector CCTV systems that deter crime, protect vulnerable users and provide 24/7 visibility.
Public sector CCTV refers to surveillance systems installed, managed, or funded by government bodies, such as local authorities, police, or NHS trusts to enhance public safety, reduce crime, and manage public infrastructure
Our security solutions combine surveillance technology with specialist monitoring and rapid responses, suited to managing social housing, vacant properties, or high-footfall public buildings.


The nature of public sector sites means the challenges they face can be complex – such as high visitor turnover, safeguarding duties, data protection requirements, and the need to protect both in-use and empty buildings.
We step in to design, install, and manage CCTV systems adapted to each specific environment, ensuring consistent protection across housing portfolios, local authority buildings, and estates.
Clearway’s experienced in-house engineers can advise on the best ways to integrate new CCTV with existing security measures, or improve security with access controls, alarm monitoring and keyholding systems to enhance both crime prevention and the speed of emergency responses.
Key Benefits of Public Sector CCTV:




Do you need CCTV immediately?
Contact Clearway now for advice on rapid-deployment surveillance to secure your site.


Clearway has decades of expertise and offers comprehensive CCTV services tailored to your needs, working with local authorities, housing providers, and organisations managing high-value infrastructure.
Our NSI Gold-accredited Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) offers continuous monitoring of your CCTV systems, with trained operators who can analyse live footage, verify whether an incident is in progress, and coordinate the necessary responses. This reduces false alarms, speeds up response times, and ensures that genuine issues are escalated immediately.
Real-time behavioural analytics and movement tracking have become in demand, with CCTV that can detect anything unusual or suspicious before a crime or incident unfolds. This depth of analytics reduces reliance on manual monitoring and prevents incidents from being missed, even in larger estates or complex layouts.
Ideal for vacant properties, construction sites and regeneration projects, mobile CCTV towers provide a fast, high-visibility way to protect open sites or public-sector land. They are commonly used to safeguard empty housing, crime hotspots and areas with higher rates of theft or vandalism – with solar and battery-powered options available.
Empty homes and commercial units are vulnerable to intrusions, squatting, vandalism and thefts. We provide urgent CCTV deployments, ensuring empty houses, business premises and properties undergoing a change of use are protected, helping local authorities and social housing teams control repair costs and insurance risks.
ANPR systems offer a way to control access and monitor car parks, secure housing estates, industrial sites, and restricted-access areas, without requiring a physical guard to screen every vehicle. These cameras check number plates against approved databases, and can track unauthorised vehicles, refuse entry, and reduce anti-social activities.

Key Features of Public Sector CCTV

Key Features of Public Sector CCTV

Highly noticeable CCTV units can’t be missed, and discourage trespassing, vandalism and other types of unauthorised activity common within housing estates and public buildings
24/7 Live Monitoring and Verification:
Real-time investigations ensure alerts are never ignored or missed, mitigating the cost of false callouts and ensuring genuine issues are dealt with quickly.
Scalable Coverage for Single Buildings or Whole Estates:
CCTV can be fitted to individual council buildings or entire portfolios, with the capacity to scale systems up or down as needed.
Independent Guidance on Compliance and Safeguarding:
We’re an experienced provider of public-sector security surveillance and can advise on GDPR compliance, insurance requirements, regulations, and data protection.
How Public Sector CCTV Works in Action

Here’s how CCTV protects your site.
1. Site Risk Assessment:
We’ll start by reviewing your site and existing security to identify vulnerabilities, gaps, access points and flashpoints that your CCTV needs to address.
2. CCTV Design and Recommendations:
CCTV solutions are adapted to the risks, nature of each site and access permissions, ensuring your surveillance is designed accordingly.
3. Camera Installation:
Professional engineers will install and configure cameras to ensure they are functioning as expected and properly integrated with any other security systems.
4. Ongoing Support and Monitoring:
Once CCTV is live, we offer comprehensive support, with regular maintenance and servicing and continual CCTV monitoring.


The public sector is, of course, diverse, but we’ve summarised a few of the common challenges Clearway’s clients are dealing with – and that can be effectively addressed with CCTV surveillance.
Empty buildings are easy targets for trespassers, vandals and squatters, and you need to respond now to ensure you’re not dealing with evictions, expensive repairs or serious criminal damage.
Criminal activity, unfortunately, tends to escalate when left unresolved, which can lead to higher-risk estates and public areas with rising crime rates, requiring proactive surveillance to reduce disruption.
Legacy CCTV units might have blind spots or poor-quality footage, be unreliable, be prone to power cuts, or lack the capacity to enable remote supervision of recordings and alerts – leaving gaps in your security.
Housing associations and local councils often appoint personnel to manage risks and security arrangements, with one person potentially tasked with supervising multiple sites. This makes centralised surveillance essential to ensure no sites are left at risk.
Public sector organisations must ensure they adhere to all relevant regulations, insurance standards, and guidelines, with monitoring and CCTV that respect personal privacy and don’t breach GDPR or Data Protection rules.
Sites that are under renovation, being converted from private sector to public housing, or construction sites where new builds are underway rely on flexible CCTV coverage to prevent trespassing and damage, without the cost commitment of permanent cameras.

All of the CCTV and alarm systems we supply can be connected to our NSI Gold Cat II-accredited ARC team, which ensures that any alerts or notifications are logged, investigated, and actioned, with verified incidents escalated there and then.

Clearway supports diverse sectors requiring rapid security deployment. Our clients include construction companies, property developers, event organisers, and facility managers who need reliable surveillance solutions. We’re trusted by:


Our UK Sales Director, Kelvin Danton, explains why CCTV is so important.
‘Public sector security is about being pre-emptive in how organisations manage risks, particularly when they have large estates or multiple premises.
From vacant properties to busy council buildings, we concentrate on the same outcomes – earlier detection of threats, faster reactions when needed, and dependable security safeguards that don’t leave remaining vulnerabilities.’
