Imperial Security provides CCTV monitoring in Wanstead for shops and offices on the High Street, managing agents overseeing blocks near Wanstead Park and Christchurch Green, and contractors running sites such as the Wanstead Leisure Centre extension.
Our control room watches your cameras around the clock and has a guard on hand to act the moment something on screen needs a response, so you get a genuine second pair of eyes rather than a recording nobody reviews until the next morning.
Redbridge's Safer Neighbourhoods panel confirmed in June 2026 that shoplifting and High Street violence remain standing priorities for Wanstead Village, alongside anti-social behaviour around the station and Christchurch Green in the evenings. That pattern shapes what independent CCTV monitoring needs to cover here: shopfronts need watching during trading hours and after closing, and communal areas near the station benefit from a monitored camera that can flag trouble before it escalates.
Redbridge Council also runs its own public-space cameras in Wanstead under a published code of practice, recording continuously and staffed by SIA-accredited operators. A privately monitored system on your own premises works alongside this rather than in place of it, giving you direct control over your entrances, stock rooms and car parks rather than relying solely on coverage the council manages for public land.

| What Our Wanstead CCTV Monitoring Service Provides
Wanstead's mix of High Street shopfronts, period residential blocks and a live construction project calls for monitoring that adapts to each building type rather than a single generic package.
Deterring unauthorised access
Our guards watch for movement around fire exits, delivery yards and side entrances on Wanstead High Street, stepping in before a break-in attempt gets further than the door.
Protecting commercial premises
Shops, cafes and offices along the High Street get a monitored perimeter through trading hours and overnight, with staff safety covered during opening and closing routines.
Monitoring construction sites
Sites such as the Wanstead Leisure Centre extension carry plant, tools and materials that are vulnerable once contractors leave for the day, so we watch the compound through the non-operational hours.
Responding to live incidents
When an operator spots something on a Wanstead camera feed, we act immediately, whether that means alerting you directly or contacting the police for a fast-moving incident.
Covering communal and parking areas
Residential blocks near Wanstead Park and private car parks off the High Street get consistent oversight of shared entrances, bike stores and parking bays.
Supporting remote access to footage
Wanstead clients can view their live feeds remotely at any time, giving managing agents and shop owners full transparency without needing to be on site.
| Who We Provide CCTV Monitoring For In Wanstead
Our Wanstead clients fall into a few recurring groups, each with a different reason for wanting a monitored camera system.
High Street retailers
Shops and cafes along the High Street face the shoplifting and evening ASB flagged by the local policing panel, and want a monitored camera watching the till area and entrance.
Managing agents and freeholders
Blocks near Wanstead Park and Christchurch Green need shared entrances and car parks monitored so residents feel secure without a permanent on-site guard.
Construction contractors
Sites such as the Wanstead Leisure Centre extension need their compound watched overnight and at weekends when the workforce has left.
Private car park operators
Car parks serving the High Street and station need cameras that are actually watched, not just recording to a hard drive nobody checks until after the fact.
We also support event organisers around Wanstead Park and George Green who need temporary monitored cameras for one-off gatherings.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Wanstead
Redbridge's own Safer Neighbourhoods panel named shoplifting, High Street violence and evening anti-social behaviour as standing priorities for Wanstead Village in June 2026. Those three problems, plus the practical gaps that come with an active construction site and shared residential parking, are what generate most enquiries here.
Shoplifting and till-area theft
Retailers on Wanstead High Street have been flagged locally as a shoplifting concern. A monitored camera on the entrance and till area means an operator sees the incident happen rather than reviewing footage after the till is already short.
Evening anti-social behaviour near the station
ASB around Wanstead station and Christchurch Green in the evenings has prompted joint patrols with British Transport Police. A monitored camera on nearby commercial or residential entrances gives an early warning before groups gathering nearby become a problem for your building.
Unattended construction compounds
The Wanstead Leisure Centre extension on Redbridge Lane West is in its final phase, and sites at this stage still hold fittings, tools and materials worth protecting overnight. Monitored CCTV covering the compound gate and storage areas reduces the window for opportunist theft.
Unwatched shared parking and entrances
Blocks of flats and private car parks near the High Street often install cameras that record but are never actively watched. Linking those cameras to a monitored control room means somebody is actually looking when it matters, not just afterwards.
