An ever-changing and dangerous work environment filled with high-value tools, equipment, and materials makes security a unique challenge at construction sites.
Perimeter fencing, lighting, and courtesy patrols are frequently deployed to keep trespassers, vandals, thieves, and vagrants from gaining access to these properties, but often aren’t enough to deter criminals and mischief-makers alike.
Proactive surveillance, however, can play a crucial role in preventing theft and trespassing from escalating to major damage or liability risks. See how one Stealth Monitoring client benefitted from live video monitoring in the below example:
Just before 11:00 p.m., Stealth security professionals monitoring a construction site in Washington state caught sight of an individual trespassing on the property, having bypassed the perimeter fencing. The individual was observed inspecting building materials, presumably with the intention of theft. The security operators observing immediately activated onsite audible warnings as a deterrent and contacted local law enforcement dispatch due to the nature of the activity in progress. Responding officers arrived on the site quickly and successfully located the trespasser, taking them into police custody.
Help Deter and Respond to Criminal and Unwanted Activity Quickly at Your Jobsite
With the rampant and increasing issue of materials and equipment theft from construction sites not showing any sign of slowing down, and ongoing supply chain issues encouraging a thriving black market for stolen goods, it’s vital that construction businesses and property owners have an effective security solution.
Stealth’s remote video monitoring provides real-time surveillance and a proactive security measure that can help deter and disperse suspicious or criminal activity at your jobsite in real-time.
Our advanced video monitoring system uses intelligent analytics and motion detection capabilities to detect activity rather than simple movement, and our highly trained security professionals look for suspicious activities, such as unauthorized entry, movement in restricted areas, or unusual behavior. When such events occur, our trained monitoring operators can take immediate action, sounding audible warnings, coordinating with existing on-site security, or contacting local police dispatch.
Remote video monitoring has additional benefits for construction. Take a look at how one Stealth client utilizes overhead time-lapse cameras as a site logistics coordination tool:
