Trespassing on construction jobsites is a persistent and frustrating problem for contractors, site managers, and construction companies alike. Thieves and vandals will occasionally go to extraordinary lengths to gain access to tools, equipment, materials, and more.
From the trio of Arizona thieves that stole a Caterpillar font-end loader from a site for later use in a series of ATM thefts to the hundreds of thieves stealing materials for resale on the black market (or even bolder- Facebook Marketplace), the issue highlights the need for effective security measures that can help deter criminals from your sites.
At approximately 11:00 p.m., a pair of individuals were spotted on surveillance hopping the perimeter fence before running into an Arizona construction site and disappearing from view. Stealth security operators who caught sight of the trespassing pair immediately contacted local law enforcement dispatch due to the nature of the activity observed. Responding police officers arrived quickly and were able to successfully intercept and apprehend the individuals.
Boost Your Jobsite Security with Proactive Remote Video Monitoring
While traditional security measures, like onsite guards, perimeter fencing, or passive surveillance cameras, may help to protect construction jobsites from damages, theft, and liability risks, they’re significantly limited in their ability to disrupt criminals and trespassers in real time.
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, as clearly demonstrated in the video above, among many others here on our website. 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 for suspicious or unwanted activity in real time, as it happens.
When our team of trained security professionals spot someone or something suspicious on your jobsite, they can take immediate action by sounding audible alarms or contacting local police dispatch when intervention is warranted. Our intelligent analytics-based cameras detect activity rather than simple movement, so there’s no worry about false alarms for plastic bags caught on a fence, or animal activity. Our solutions are customized, and can be adjusted as your jobsite progresses, strategically placed to monitor hotspots like entry gates and tool storage.
