London Havering Security CCTV Monitoring

Imperial Security provides 24/7 CCTV monitoring for businesses across Havering, connecting your cameras to a manned control room that watches live footage and responds to incidents as they happen. Retailers in Romford town centre, warehouse operators in Rainham, construction sites in Upminster and school sites in Hornchurch.

All use the service to keep unauthorised access, theft and vandalism in check without paying for a guard to stand on site around the clock. Operators log every event, raise alerts to keyholders or the police, and give you a clear record of what happened and when.

Havering's council-run control room near Romford Town Hall now works from a near £3 million camera and facilities upgrade, coordinating directly with shopping centre security teams at The Brewery, The Liberty and The Mercury and logging around 20,000 incidents over an 18 month period. That level of public investment shows how much monitored surveillance already shapes how crime and antisocial behaviour are managed in the borough's town centres, but council cameras cover public land, not your premises, stockroom or loading bay. Private sites need their own monitored cover working alongside it.

Away from the town centres, Havering's industrial base is expanding fast. Segro's Courier Road scheme in Rainham is adding up to 311,000 sq ft of logistics space across 20 acres, one of the largest sites of its kind inside the M25, on top of an existing Segro Park Rainham development that has reached full occupancy. New sites like this mean more perimeter, more out-of-hours deliveries and more unoccupied units during fit-out, all of which benefit from monitored CCTV rather than periodic patrols alone.

Street Wise & Vigilant

Local, street-smart expertly trained to protect & deter threats. Confident & observant

We also monitor cameras for property managers, corporate offices near Romford and community buildings across the borough.

Havering's borough-run cameras cover public streets and shopping centres, not what happens behind your fence, shutter or fire exit. As new logistics and retail space opens across the borough, more premises sit empty during fit-out or trade overnight without anyone on site, which is where most of our enquiries come from.

Out-of-hours trespass on industrial units

Empty or newly let units on Havering's industrial estates attract trespassers looking for scrap metal or an easy break-in. Monitored cameras with audio warnings deter people before they reach a door or shutter.

Retail theft after closing

Shopfronts and stockrooms in Romford and Hornchurch are vulnerable once staff leave for the night. Continuous monitoring picks up forced entry attempts immediately, rather than being discovered the next morning.

Vandalism and fly-tipping on vacant land

Development sites and vacant plots awaiting construction are common targets for fly-tipping and vandalism. Regular camera checks and recorded evidence support enforcement action and insurance claims.

Deliveries and contractor access with no one to check them

Warehouse and construction sites often receive deliveries or contractor visits outside normal hours. Operators verify access against your instructions and flag anything unexpected straight away.
