Corps Protect, the personal protection division of Corps Monitoring, delivers 24/7 monitored safety services using GPS-enabled technology, live communication, and rapid response protocols.

  • What is Corps Protect?

Designed for lone workers and at-risk personnel, it enables users to raise alarms, share live locations, and request help instantly. This service is backed by Corps Monitoring’s NSI Gold-accredited Alarm Receiving Centre, ensuring that every alert is handled with speed, care and professionalism.

    Any individual facing personal safety risks due to their work or personal circumstances can benefit from this proactive monitoring solution. Employers across public and private sectors use Corps Protect to meet duty of care obligations.

  • How do the Corps Protect devices work?

    Users are equipped with discreet GPS-enabled devices or a smartphone app that connects to the Corps Monitoring Alarm Receiving Centre.

    When an alert is triggered, the device sends the user’s real-time location and a live audio feed to Corps Monitoring’s control room. Operators assess the situation, speak to the user if safe, and follow the escalation plan – which could include alerting emergency services, notifying a manager or family member, or contacting a rapid response team. All incidents are recorded and reported. In high-risk cases, operators can remain on the line until the situation is resolved or emergency services arrive.

Real-Time CCTV Monitoring Removes Trespassers

CCTV Monitoring Protects Construction Site

On construction sites, proactive protection is vital. When spaces are left empty, at night or during the day, equipment and materials can become attractive targets for intruders or a space for curious minds to explore. Though fencing and signage are visual deterrents, trespassers are not always deterred. This case study shows how Corps Monitoring’s alarm activation services helped deter a group of intruders at a client’s construction site, preventing any damage to the site with rapid detection, effective audio intervention and immediate escalation via swift communication with police services.

Incident Overview: Alarm Activation Receives Immediate Response

One afternoon in April at a construction site in Edinburgh, the Corps Monitoring Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) was alerted to an alarm activation that showed a group of individuals crawling under the gate and entering the site. Within seconds, the detection activated the audio challenge system, and the operator issued a live warning through the site’s public address signal. The intervention did not immediately deter the intruders, and the ARC notified the police to attend the site. Officers then attended the site within half an hour and led the intruders offsite, and the site was once again secured.

CCTV Monitoring: An Essential Investment

  • Immediate Response Capability: Live video and audio monitoring allow security operators to respond instantly, preventing incidents before they become serious.
  • Proactive Security Approach: Stopping intruders saves significantly more money than addressing theft, property damage, or processing insurance claims afterwards.
  • Customisable Solutions: Security monitoring systems can be tailored to address specific vulnerabilities, whether for expansive commercial properties or compact renovation sites.
  • Documented Security Events: In case of incidents, crystal-clear HD footage provides conclusive evidence for law enforcement investigations or insurance documentation.
Corps Monitoring’s Specialised Offerings Corps Monitoring delivers comprehensive remote security solutions customised for commercial, residential, and construction sector requirements. Our core services include:
  • CCTV Sensor Activated Monitoring: Alarm activation technology integrated with cameras automatically generates alerts, enabling operators to review footage and confirm potential threats.
  • Remote monitoring: Security professionals at the Corps Monitoring Centre deliver continuous observation, verbal intervention, and emergency notification—providing uninterrupted protection without on-site personnel.
  • Intruder Monitoring: All suspicious activities undergo real-time assessment, with security breaches promptly reported to designated contacts and emergency responders as appropriate.
  • Fire Alarm Monitoring: Beyond theft prevention, Corps operators also track fire alarm activations to help minimise extensive property loss.
  • CCTV Surveillance: Particularly valuable for vulnerable or busy locations, this service enables ongoing visual assessment and active threat response.
  • Corps Protect – Lone Worker Monitoring: We deliver critical safeguards for isolated workers through emergency alert buttons, location tracking, and scheduled check-ins, all continuously monitored by our operations centre. Compatible with various devices, including smartwatches, identification badges, discreet personal alarms, and Halo wearable cameras, allowing personnel to select the format best suited to their particular work environment.

Conclusion: Real-Time Reactions Deliver Swift Results

With intrusions like these, every second counts. Within seconds, these intruders were made aware that the site was monitored and that they needed to leave immediately. In some cases, this deterrent is enough. We have evidenced sites where an audio warning deterred an intruder, and police involvement was not required. But when intruders continue to stay on site, an ARC’s split-second response means that police intervention can occur as quickly as possible.

CCTV Monitoring Protects Client Building Site From Intruder

Proactive Protection: Real-Time CCTV Monitoring Foils Attempted Break-In

In the world of construction, protecting active and unoccupied sites is more important than ever. Equipment and materials are often left unattended, making them attractive targets for opportunistic intruders. This case study highlights how CCTV monitoring from Corps Monitoring helped deter an intruder at a client’s construction site, preventing a potential break-in and loss of assets. Thanks to rapid detection, effective audio intervention, and immediate escalation, the site remained secure — all without the need for manned guarding.

Incident Overview: Motion-Triggered Alert Leads to Immediate Deterrence

During an overnight shift, Corps Monitoring received a motion-triggered alarm from a sensor at one of its monitored building sites. Through the connected CCTV monitoring system, operators at the Corps Monitoring Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) observed an individual entering the site unlawfully.

Activating the audio challenge system, the operator issued a live warning over the site’s public address system. The intruder, startled by the voice alert confirming they were being watched, fled the scene immediately. This real-time intervention meant that there was no physical breach, no damage, and no loss — a textbook example of successful security monitoring.

Why CCTV Monitoring Is a Vital Investment for Construction Sites

  • Real-Time Intervention: With live surveillance and audio capabilities, CCTV monitoring enables operators to act in the moment — before a situation escalates.
  • Prevention Over Reaction: Deterring intruders is more cost-effective than dealing with theft, vandalism, or insurance claims after the fact.
  • Scalable and Flexible: Whether it’s a large commercial development or a small refurbishment project, security monitoring systems can be adapted to the site’s unique risks.
  • Evidence Capture: Should an incident occur, high-definition CCTV footage provides clear evidence for police or insurance providers.

Tailored Security Monitoring Services from Corps Monitoring

  • CCTV Sensor Activated Monitoring: Camera activation integrated with camera systems instantly trigger alerts, allowing operators to view footage and verify threats.

  • Intruder Monitoring: All unusual activity is evaluated in real-time, with intrusions escalated to keyholders and emergency services as necessary.
  • Fire Alarm Monitoring: Protecting more than just against theft, Corps’ operators also monitor for fire system activations to help prevent large-scale property damage.
  • CCTV Live Surveillance: Ideal for high-risk or high-traffic sites, this service allows for constant visual oversight and proactive threat management. Lone Worker Monitoring (Corps Protect): Corps Protect provides essential protection for staff working alone, offering features such as panic alerts, GPS tracking, and timed check-ins — all monitored in real time by our control centre. It supports multiple devices including a wearable watch, ID badge, discreet fob, and Halo body-worn camera, allowing users to choose the format that suits their role best.

Conclusion: CCTV Monitoring That Delivers Real Results

This incident serves as a clear reminder of the value that proactive CCTV monitoring provides. The quick actions of the Corps Monitoring team meant the intruder was deterred within moments — with no need for site attendance or police involvement. It’s another example of how effective security monitoring can secure sites and support clients in managing risk efficiently. Whether you’re protecting a single building site or an entire portfolio, Corps Monitoring is equipped to deliver peace of mind through intelligent, responsive, and reliable intruder monitoring solutions.

Security Monitoring Helps Protect Closed Building Site From Intruder

Smart Surveillance That Never Clocks Off

Even when work stops, risks don’t. Closed construction sites are particularly vulnerable to trespass, theft, and vandalism — especially outside of working hours. This incident shows how CCTV monitoring from Corps Monitoring provided continuous protection at a temporarily closed site in Edinburgh. With no on-site personnel present, the intruder might have gone unnoticed — if not for the swift response from our remote security team.

Incident Overview: Unauthorised Access Prevented at Inactive Site

Late in the evening, a motion sensor triggered an alert from a camera positioned near the site’s perimeter. The signal was immediately received by Corps’ Monitoring Centre. Within seconds, operators accessed the live camera stream and observed an individual climbing the fencing. Using the site’s public address system, the security monitoring team issued a real-time audio warning. The intruder, clearly caught off guard, quickly exited the site. The footage was logged, and the client was provided with a detailed incident report — all without the need for physical security presence.

Keeping Watch When No One Else Is Around

  • No Staff Needed On-Site: Remote visibility allowed for immediate intervention without putting anyone at risk.
  • Real-Time Escalation: Had the intruder remained, emergency services could have been called within seconds.
  • Reliable Surveillance During Downtime: Whether a site is paused for a day or several weeks, CCTV monitoring ensures it’s never left unprotected.
  • Reassurance and Reporting: Clients receive fast, clear updates following any alert, backed up with time-stamped footage.
  • Always-On Monitoring from Corps: Built for Every Risk Profile
Our tailored monitoring services provide scalable, cost-effective security for clients with diverse properties and operational challenges. We offer:
  • CCTV Sensor Activated Monitoring: Advanced camera activation linked to CCTV ensures only verified threats are escalated.
  • Remote Monitoring: Our control room operates 24/7/365 — always watching, always ready to respond.
  • Intruder Monitoring: Smart zone setups and behavioural analytics help identify and act on unauthorised movement as it happens.
  • Fire Alarm Monitoring: Integrated fire detection systems allow our operators to alert emergency services at the first sign of danger.
  • CCTV Live Surveillance: For high-risk or complex sites, continuous video feeds offer active monitoring with human oversight.
  • Lone Worker Monitoring (Corps Protect): Created to support remote and isolated workers, the Corps Protect app delivers features like live GPS updates, emergency panic signals, and scheduled check-ins, all monitored around the clock. It works with several device types including a wristwatch, fob, Halo camera, and badge-style unit for complete flexibility.
Conclusion: Silent, Secure, and Unseen With no one on-site and no noise made, this could have been a costly intrusion. But with intelligent CCTV monitoring and expert intruder monitoring, the situation was resolved before it even started. Corps Monitoring’s proactive security monitoring approach means closed doesn’t mean vulnerable. Our remote systems, backed by skilled professionals, provide a dependable line of defence — day or night, rain or shine.

Youths Apprehended At Disused Hospital Thanks To CCTV Monitoring

Securing Vulnerable Spaces: Disused Site Protected Through Remote Surveillance

Empty buildings and disused sites are often seen as easy targets — whether for antisocial behaviour, vandalism, or worse. That’s why having an active CCTV monitoring system is essential, even when a site isn’t in daily use. This case, involving a disused hospital, showcases how fast action from Corps Monitoring helped authorities apprehend multiple intruders before damage was done. Thanks to real-time security monitoring, what could have become a serious incident was stopped in its tracks.

Incident Overview: Activity Detected, Intrusion Confirmed, Arrests Made

During the early hours of the morning, the Corps Monitoring Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) received an alert from the hospital site, where motion had been picked up in one of the building’s corridors. Operators immediately reviewed the live feed and spotted multiple youths entering the premises unlawfully. Recognising the potential threat, the team activated the site’s intruder monitoring protocol. Local police were informed and supplied with detailed descriptions and a live location reference. Officers arrived swiftly and detained the intruders. The client was updated throughout and later provided with a full incident report and video evidence.

High-Value Monitoring for Low-Use Sites

  • Real-Time Oversight: Even when a site isn’t occupied, remote monitoring provides constant visibility.
  • Early Detection: Identifying intruders early meant there was no opportunity for theft or vandalism to take place.

Daylight Intruders Deterred By CCTV Monitoring Service

Visible Protection: How CCTV Monitoring Prevents Intrusions in Broad Daylight

Intruders don’t always wait for darkness. In fact, many incidents occur in broad daylight, under the assumption that fewer security measures are active during daytime hours. This recent case illustrates how Corps Monitoring’s vigilant CCTV monitoring team quickly responded to a daytime intrusion, preventing unauthorised access and avoiding disruption at a client’s site. It’s a clear demonstration that with intelligent security monitoring, deterrence works — no matter the time of day.

Incident Overview: Intrusion Attempt Interrupted with Real-Time Audio Intervention

The incident occurred during working hours at a commercial property undergoing refurbishment. A motion-triggered alert was received by the Corps Monitoring Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) after cameras picked up movement near a secure access point. Upon checking the live feed, operators spotted two individuals attempting to gain unauthorised entry through a partially fenced area. Within moments, an audio challenge was issued via the site’s PA system, warning them that the area was being monitored and that their actions were being recorded. Startled, the intruders left the area immediately. This outcome highlights how professional intruder monitoring paired with audio deterrence can resolve incidents without needing on-site intervention.

Key Outcomes of Effective Daytime CCTV Monitoring

  • Immediate Identification: Motion sensors and real-time footage allowed for quick operator verification.
  • Audio Challenge Prevented Escalation: A live voice alert was all that was needed to deter the intruders.
  • Business Continuity Maintained: No damage occurred, no emergency attendance was required, and the client’s operations continued uninterrupted.
  • Clear Documentation: The incident was recorded and included in a comprehensive report sent to the client the same day.
