Expensive and dangerous equipment. Tools. Materials. There are so many reasons for thieves, vandals, and trespassers to target construction sites as their means of entertainment, risk-taking, or opportunity. Construction companies have so many security concerns to consider, and a unique set of challenges they face in order to effectively protect themselves from damages, loss, and liability.
In the video above, a Stealth Monitoring security professional noticed an individual entering the southwest portion of an Ontario college building still under construction around 1:45 in the morning. The security operator contacted local police to inform them of the trespass-in-progress while continuing to monitor the situation. Minutes later, law enforcement officers arrived on site and took the individual into custody.
Help Reduce Liability Risks and Secure Your Jobsites with Proactive Security Measures
With so many variables and potential security issues, construction sites are a minefield of liability and theft concerns. This is why security measures need to be both proactive and dynamic in order to help reduce risks and limit theft, vandalism, and damages.
Remote video monitoring is a proactive security solution. Traditional security measures, like perimeter fences or guards can be limited in their range and scope. Remote video monitoring, however, uses a combination of cutting-edge technology and human intelligence to watch for suspicious activity in real-time. Our analytics-based cameras watch for activity -not just movement- and our trained security professionals can follow site protocols to sound onsite alarms or contact local police when needed. Cameras can also be moved as needed throughout the duration of a project, allowing for newer areas of concern to be prioritized, and growing with the site as it moves though completion.
Thanks to our ability to provide police dispatch with accurate, up-to-the-minute information, officers typically elevate the priority of our calls, leading to faster response times, and often arrests before significant damages are done or suspects have left the area.
