Imperial Security provides professionally monitored CCTV cover for businesses across Hammersmith, watching your cameras around the clock from our control room and acting the moment something looks wrong. We work with retailers around Broadway Shopping Centre, offices near the Apollo and Hammersmith Broadway, and construction and riverside sites along the Thames, giving each one a guard who is actually watching the feed rather than a recorder that only proves what happened afterwards.
Our team spots suspicious activity as it develops, raises the alarm, and coordinates a response, so break-ins, theft and vandalism are dealt with while they are still preventable rather than reviewed the next morning.
Hammersmith town centre already carries some of the borough's highest camera coverage: the Broadway Shopping Centre invested £250,000 in upgraded cameras and a dedicated control room, and its security team now carries body-worn cameras funded by the Hammersmith Business Improvement District. A separate "CCTV Patch" links cameras serving Broadway and the surrounding streets directly into the Metropolitan Police command and control centre. That level of public infrastructure is built for the shared spaces, the mall walkways, the bus station, the pavements outside the Apollo. It does not extend inside your reception, your stockroom, your loading bay or your site compound, which is exactly where a professionally monitored private system earns its keep.
Hammersmith Broadway remains one of the busier parts of the borough for retail and street crime, which is one reason the council and BID have kept investing in cameras and Shop Watch coordination here. Our monitoring sits alongside that public network rather than duplicating it, giving your own premises a dedicated set of eyes and a direct line to a response team who already know the area.

| What Our Hammersmith CCTV Monitoring Service Provides
The six duties below cover the daily reality of watching retail units, offices, and construction sites across Hammersmith.
Live monitoring of your cameras
Your existing CCTV feed is watched in real time from our control room, not just recorded for later review.
Suspicious activity alerts
Loitering near fire exits, tampering with shutters or forced entry attempts are flagged the moment they appear on screen.
Out of hours building checks
Retail units and offices that empty out overnight get scheduled camera checks so a fault or an intruder does not sit unnoticed until morning.
Mobile patrol dispatch
When a threat is confirmed on camera, we send a mobile patrol to your door rather than simply logging the event.
Police and keyholder liaison
We contact the police and your named keyholder directly when an incident needs more than a patrol visit.
Incident logs and footage reports
Every incident is written up with timestamps and footage references, ready for insurers or any police follow-up.
| Who We Provide CCTV Monitoring For In Hammersmith
Hammersmith's mix of retail, offices, venues and building sites all bring different monitoring needs.
Retailers around Broadway Shopping Centre
Shop units need someone watching the shop floor and stockroom feeds during trading hours and the shutters overnight.
Offices near Hammersmith Apollo and the Broadway
Reception areas, car parks and loading bays need cover outside standard working hours when the building is quiet.
Construction and riverside sites along the Thames
Plant, materials and site cabins are exposed once contractors leave for the day, and monitored cameras replace a static guard for much of that period.
Venues and event spaces
Bars, restaurants and function spaces around the Broadway need someone watching entrances and queues on busy nights.
We also monitor CCTV for warehouses and light industrial units on the edges of Hammersmith, where deliveries and stock movements need the same level of oversight as a shop floor.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Hammersmith
Hammersmith Broadway remains one of the busier parts of the borough for retail and street offences, and the council's own community safety plan names it as a continuing priority for enforcement. Cameras that nobody is actively watching do not stop that activity, they only record it, which is why the businesses that contact us have usually had a system in place for years before deciding it needs a person behind it.
Shop theft and till area disputes
Recorded footage only proves a theft happened after the stock has gone. Live monitoring lets us alert staff or dispatch a patrol while the person is still in the shop.
Out of hours break-ins
Offices and shop units around the Broadway are quiet for long stretches overnight and at weekends. Continuous monitoring means forced entry is spotted within moments, not the next working day.
Site theft and vandalism on construction projects
Riverside and town centre building sites hold plant and materials that are simple to lift once a compound is unattended. Monitored cameras give a site a presence around the clock without a guard stationed there all night.
Anti-social behaviour near entrances
Loitering, drinking or disturbances outside shop fronts and office entrances put off customers and staff. Spotting it early lets us intervene or call the police before it escalates.
| Why Choose Imperial Security In Hammersmith
We know how Hammersmith is already covered
The council and the Business Improvement District run an extensive public camera network in Hammersmith, including a direct link between Broadway Shopping Centre's cameras and the Metropolitan Police command and control centre. Our monitoring is designed to complement that public coverage rather than duplicate it, watching the parts of your building the town centre cameras cannot see.
We cover Hammersmith and neighbouring areas including Shepherd's Bush, Chiswick and Kensington.
A direct response, not just a recording
Our control room can dispatch a mobile patrol and contact the police the moment an incident is confirmed, so your monitoring does more than build an evidence file after the event.
Vetting, licensing and insurance
Every guard we place on a Hammersmith assignment meets our company standards.
- Valid SIA licensing: appropriate to the role & verified qualifications
- BS 7858 compliant vetting: five-year employment & education history
- Enhanced DBS checks: The level appropriate for your sector
- Professional reference verification: All previous security employers
- Insurance: Public liability, employers' liability & professional indemnity
