Empty buildings are a magnet for trespassers, vandals, squatters and thieves. Without proper CCTV for void property, asset owners face escalating costs, insurance complications, and liability exposure. Select Group are vacant property specialists with extensive experience protecting empty buildings, development land, and former commercial premises.
The Risk of Unprotected Void Properties
Void and vacant properties are significantly more vulnerable than occupied ones. Common threats include:
- Copper theft and stripping of fixtures
- Squatting and unauthorised occupation
- Arson and deliberate damage
- Fly-tipping and environmental crime
- Insurance voidance due to inadequate security
A robust void property CCTV system is one of the most cost-effective ways to mitigate these risks while properties await sale, development or re-occupation.
Our Vacant Property CCTV Solutions
CCTV for Vacant Property
Select Group installs purpose-built CCTV for vacant property that operates independently of mains power and broadband. Our vacant property CCTV systems use solar or battery power, 4G connectivity and cloud recording — making them deployable in any empty building regardless of its current condition.
24/7 Monitoring for Void Properties
Our CCTV for void property is backed by round-the-clock remote monitoring from our UK-based control room. When motion is detected, our operators assess the threat in real time and take appropriate action — from activating audio challenges to alerting police or dispatching a mobile patrol.
Canine Security
For properties at elevated risk, we can supplement CCTV with canine security patrols. Dog handler teams provide a powerful physical deterrent that significantly reduces the likelihood of break-ins and trespass — particularly overnight or during weekends.
Keyholding & Alarm Response
As part of our vacant property security service, Select Group provides full keyholding and alarm response — ensuring that any alarm activation results in a trained officer attending the premises promptly and professionally.
