Late at night, construction jobsites can easily become a playground for criminal activity and liability concerns. One suspect took that idea literally, wandering a site after 2:00 a.m. with his scooter in hand.
In the above video, a Stealth operator escalated an alarm at 2:07 a.m. when they spotted a male individual trespassing on a construction site with something carried on his shoulder. A closer inspection determined that the object being carried was a scooter, and the unusual choice of late-night trespass locale was relayed to the local police.
Within just a few minutes of placing the call to dispatch, officers arrived on scene and began their search for the subject, ultimately intercepting him and placing him in custody.
Construction Site Security Needs a Proactive Solution
Theft at construction sites has always been an issue, but the problem has continued to worsen in recent years. At one construction site, lumber was stolen from the same location three different times before the suspects were finally captured during the fourth heist. The costs to replace stolen materials alone can be prohibitive, not to mention the time lost on a job.
Remote video monitoring is a proactive security solution. It can help to protect your site and its valuable assets from intruders, thieves, and other security risks. With remote video monitoring’s combination of technology and human intelligence, trained security professionals monitor analytics-based cameras to watch for suspicious activity, taking immediate action to help stop it when they do.
With video verification of activity as it’s in progress, law enforcement typically elevates the call’s priority. We work closely with law enforcement, helping by providing them with video footage for their investigations.
Just as in the above video, our team reacted quickly allowing police to respond quickly as well, making an arrest, and removing the trespasser from the site before they could cause damages.
