Construction companies have a variety of security and liability issues they face on every jobsite. Trespassing, intruders, crane-climbers, and vagrancy, property damage and vandalism, site accidents and potential injuries, even fires and other issues associated with exposed and unfinished properties.
The most persistent of these issues start with individuals accessing properties that aren’t meant to be there. Folks looking to explore an unfinished home, vagrants looking for shelter, thieves browsing for materials to steal- all can cause extensive damages to a property and create expensive delays.

At just after 9:00 p.m., Stealth security professionals monitoring a construction site in British Columbia received notification of activity on the western portion of the property. It being after hours, and the site being closed, operators took a closer look and spotted an individual wearing a hoodie breaking into the property on surveillance feeds. Stealth operators took immediate action, contacting local police dispatch and informing them of the subject’s description and location on the jobsite. Within minutes, officers arrived on site and made contact with the trespasser and could be seen placing the individual into handcuffs. Stealth professionals then followed up with the client, relaying the details of the incident.
Go Beyond Ineffective Traditional Security with Proactive Solutions
Traditional security measures, like onsite guards and perimeter fencing, or passive surveillance cameras, don’t do enough to protect construction jobsites from damages, theft, and liability risks.
Guards have limited visibility- they can only see or be in one place at a time. Perimeter fences may deter some potential trespassers, but anyone determined enough to access the site isn’t likely to be stopped by them. Stealth’s live video monitoring has the advantage of making use of a combination of analytics-based camera technology and human intelligence to monitor your jobsites in real time.
When trained security professionals spot someone or something out of place on your jobsite, they can take immediate action. Our intelligent cameras detect activity rather than simple movement, so no false alarms for plastic bags caught on a fence. Our solutions are customized, and can be adjusted as your jobsite progresses, strategically placed to monitor hotspots like entry gates and tool storage.
